Small update! I was without internet for about five days- finally got it fixed today. However a few days ago, the dogs knocked my tablet off the couch and the USB port inside the tablet snapped off the circuit board... sadly the only way to fix this is to solder it back on, which could ruin the circuit board if not done correctly. Since I myself don't know the first thing about soldering electronics and I don't know anyone that does, I'm throwing in the towel with this tablet and will be selling it hella cheap for parts.

That being said, my wonderful friends diledog and BewitchedFox so generously allowed me to use their spare. It should be here later this week! Hopefully this tablet won't be too much different than my own so my art will remain the same level of quality and style.

I'll be using this spare until I save up enough for a new tablet! I'm not sure what I'll be going with but I want it to be an upgrade from the Intuos4 I had so most likely I'll go with an Intuos5. However does anyone have any suggestions? My budget is around $300 - I can't really see myself affording anything more than that any time soon lol.

I have the medium intuos 5 and I love it so much ;w; my only issue has been that the USB port stopped working for me so I can only use it wirelessly (tried getting a new cable...wasn't the cable that was broken :'D). Using it wirelessly also isn't a big deal, other than I gotta charge the battery
BUT OTHERWISE
I love the tablet ;w; minus its issues XD when I bought it I heard other's talking about the cable issue and made sure to get one with a wireless option
