When the hell did this happen??? Aldi now carries computer and stylus tablets..

sounds odd right?.. Medion 12x9 graphics tablets with pen and mouse in aldi.... for only $40. for 40 bucks i can use it for a dinner tray if it sucks... I bought one. sat down and plugged it in and it rocks as good as the older large sized wacoms. the software doesnt work with xp though but DAMN for $40 you cant complain. The pen and mouse construction are shabby but work great. dont step on them lol.

Sounds like a good deal..

How's the pressure and/or tilt sensitivity or is there any?

i got a 12"-9" tablet from Aldi too. My dad picked it up on his way through. He heard me talking about them. It was only $35 here. Maybe because they had so many of them. But yeah. I havent used it yet but it seems liek it will be great... I hope it works with XP though.

no. finally hooked mine up after reading this. Worked perfectly with xp, no downside as i can see. and the wireless mouse and pen that came with it dont interact negetively with my usb mouse at all. Its all kosher.
