Graphic Tablet In Thailand

[smint]

Hi everyone, I'm looking to purchase a graphic tablet here in Thailand. First time I'm purchasing a graphic tablet in years, so I need some advice. I'm not professional, so I don't need anything expensive, just something that doesn't break down after 2 weeks. I'm thinking between those third party brands you see in tukcom (made in taiwan, china, or something?) or wacom, of course I have to add 100% additional surcharge for the brand... Hmm. I've heard of this brand called Lapazz, heard its available in Thailand - is it good? To those who are familiar with these tablets, what do you think I should get, for a leisure/amateur user? (I'm also looking to use for some technical stuff and accuracy, but as for the pressure sensitivity I do not mind much). Essentially just needs something which just works okay and doesn't need my attention to keep fixing, unlike my previous genius tablet which kept breaking down...

Unfortunately I'm not in Bangkok, so I might not get most brands, but what seriously would you all recommend?

Thanks in advance for all your help and recommendations.

Most Apple shops have Wacom tablets. If you are looking for a budget Wacom, I would suggest Wacom's Bamboo line. I think you can pick one up for 2500ish to 5,000 baht depending on the size etc... Have a look at Wacom Bamboo's website. --> http://www.wacom.com/bamboo/

Thank you, jambla, I'll be looking out for the Bamboo lines... Do you know of other shops which will sell those wacoms? I haven't seen them in the Apple shop and the IT City at Tukcom has only 3 pathetic tablets, a 9000B wacom (!), and the other 2 genius which I don't really want... Also, how important is a 'warranty' if you buy from those small shops? They say 1 year warranty, any problem bring to their shop, but knowing the system, I wonder if they'll really live up to the warranty or take their time to repair the stuff..
