I noticed the size, one is bigger than the other!. I'm just looking for best performance or popularity!. The other sizes are sold out!. These two are the remaining ones!.

Which one would you recommend for a beginner!? (not really a beginner, not an expert either; i'm in the middle)

Thanks in advance for any advice!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

both are mac/pc compatible, yet more for document as notes and whiteboard features, so maybe if not for drawing and sketching, could be better in some ways for business, though there may be other tablets or handhelds even that may suits users needs more so, your call,

Never used either one of these--mine is a Wacom 4" x 5"!. You may not need as big of tablet as you may think!. I've known someone who had a large tablet, yet used only a small fraction of the tablet (you can specify in the tablet's preferences how big of an area you want to use)!. The $29!.99 may be a good place to start, considering the price!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
