The perfect graphics tablet doesn't exist. Since 2010 many things have happened: the first Ipad-like tablets with styluses have come out, the historical monopoly of Wacom was breached after their patent for battery-less stylus expired, competition could finally start in the tablet market, many new models came out (Huion/XpPen/etc.), and tablet computers with a pen are cheaper to buy and more and more common on the desks of artists. Recently, I had a request for another repost, but after re-reading the article, I felt it was totally obsolete and not really in sync with what I'm thinking now. Over the years, I've been super-happy to see this article republished on big CG portals and printed on CG magazines the article was even republished by Wacom on their blog!.

I also made new artworks and published them in higher quality.

About the 2020 remake of this article: For the ten-year anniversary of this article (originally published on April 11, 2010) I decided to rewrite it.
