Half-Price Promo Code for Graphics Tablet with Cordless Stylus Pen

Here's a neat little device that may make a nice accessory for your computer. An entry-level large DigiPro graphics tablet with a cordless stylus pen. It's a nice kind of alternative input device that is very helpful to make drawings in graphics programs (instead of trying to draw lines by guiding the mouse around -- that is too erratic). This one is a fairly large size (6" x 8") so it should handle some large drawing projects with ease. It even lifts the surface so you can slide in a picture you want to trace into your computer program.

It can also be used for handwriting input for certain applications, like annotating in MS Word.

Right now, Computer Geeks have a promo code HALFPRICE (expires July 30) that lets you halve the price, from $79 to $39. Shipping is $7, bringing the final total to $46. Here's the link. Apply the promo code at checkout to get the savings.

Higher-end graphics tablets, such as those by Wacom, often go for well over a hundred dollars even if they have less surface area for drawing/input (and even more money for the large sizes). For someone really into high-end graphic work this Digipro may be too simple, but for a youngster who likes drawing this can be a nice tool to make it easier. It can also be useful for someone who dabbles in graphics, and for those who like the idea of handwriting into programs available.

So if you need a graphic input device but maybe not the high-end kind (or if you want to try this to get the sense of whether a tablet is right for you, why not save half the price along the way?
