I've had two in the past and for me, there wasn't any difference xD
The one I'm currently using is called Intuos Manga small sized, which makes no difference for me since I have small hands;;
which can sell between $110 and $140, depending on where you get it from. It has little control buttons at the top such as ctrl, shift, etc. It'll come with a CD which has the program that you need to install, and from there you can adjust the sensitivity of the pen. I think might is about halfway so it's not too sensitive, this'll add to creating smoother lines in the program you use. xD
For me, these small tablets are just as good as the larger more expensive ones if you're not fiddly with buttons.
They're also more compact and easy for travelling circumstances, especially the small ones if you're interested in taking it to school, etc. But be careful about putting things on top of it. It can potentially ruin the sensitivity, thus breaking it. Which happened to my first tablet. xD
Update me with how it goes! I'd love to hear about your experience <3
Omg great! I'll definitely look more into it. Thanks again If i do end up getting one, I'll probably wait until the holiday's come around. Right now, I'm pretty broke </3
