If it works then that is an amazing price. We've got a Wacom that is only slightly bigger and 5 years ago cost £350 it is superb though. I was going to buy an really small version from PC World for £40 to use at our flat but now I think I'll pop down to Aldi and try one of these. Thanks for the heads up Lynx.

Do they take orders over the phone or online ?

If not, where can I get this at a similar price online ?

No.

I don't think you will get one for a similar price.

Is there not a store within travelling distance ?

I picked up a Nisis G3 graphics tablet for £30 about 6 months ago. I thought it would be a good deal until I tried to use it. Utter waste of money. It was cheap and it shows.

Hopefully this one is different but I just though I'd add a word of warning.

on the off-chance that these tablets do turn out to be crap then does Aldi have a good reputation for handling returns? i've never shopped with them before but i might go and have a look tomorrow. was contemplated buying a graphics tablet anyway...
