Does anyone over here tried or have heard some feedbacks of "Genius " brand of tablets?
I know Wacom is the best but I don't have the finances to afford one suitable for me ( including Amazon -I can't order through internet), I don't want to wait and I need some tablet kind of right now.
I'm not a professional. I just want to have a tablet untill I can afford wacom. I don't want Wacom Bamboo they are too small for me.
So if someone can tell me about the Genius tablets, that would be awesome!
Thanks in advance! :)

Refurbished or second hand wacom is a safer bet.
Don't worry about the "second hand" part, they're pretty much indestructible. Mine has been dropped, sat on, used as an accidental ashtray and had pints of beer spilt on it, other than slight scratching on the (replaceable) plastic cover, good as new.

I'm not so certain about that heh. A lot of brands now make tablet displays and especially in the automotive industry you will see other brands. I think Barco or some other brand makes very good ones.
The reviews are actually pretty good about the Genius tablets, so I wouldn't be so fast to discount them. If it's a lot cheaper than the wacom and suitable for your needs, why not. They seem to make ok tablets.

Thank you for your answer!:)
Ok tablet is just what I need ! :)
I need a working tablet for some time untill I save money for something like Wacom. Having a working tablet is better than none. If I can keep it working for some years it would be ok for me.
And the thing is that the wacoms they offer around are new ( too expensive) or second Hand bamboos which I don't really like, then I can't use amazon or even I could delivering to me would cost me a lot ...so Genuis tablets looked good to me .
Oh I was saying Wacom are the best because whoever asks for tablet everyone says Wacom...
I'm asking because I have heard that tablets like Trust make a lot problems...so I need something that works and would work at least for some years and is not a Wacom.
Thanks once again!

I'm more afraid that where I live I can't get second hand wacom and I don't have friends who would like to sale their Wacoms...I can't order through internet and even if I could make someone to order instead of me it would be too expensive again.
But thank you for your input ! :) I hope to save for a new Wacom ( it will take me around 3 years) untill then I search for something i could use for some time and I can afford right now. :)
