Graphics-Tablet

Most PC's come with a mouse and keyboard. But if you want to draw a picture or diagram, nothing beats a pencil or a pen! If you want to draw with a computer, the answer may be digitizing with a pen. However, some artists will draw on paper, then use their scanner to read into the computer. Even so, they may still use these to edit the picture.
What is a digitizing pen/stylus?
Sometimes also known as a digitizing tablet, graphics pad, or pen/stylus. It is an input device that can be used in conjunction with, a mouse, trackball, or other pointing device.

If you are an artist, or have a talent for drawing with a pencil, a digitizing pad may be a valuable addition to your computing experience. But they are not cheap! A decent pen/stylus starts around $ 200 though you can find some at $100, and go up to well over $ 500. But drawing precision is far better than with a mouse.
