GIMP Version: 2.8.14
Operating System: Windows
OS Version: W7
GIMP Experience: New User

It's time to start adding to my basic-intermediate skills and start drawing by hand, rather than just using a mouse.
I have a W7 OS on a Lenovo piece of crap [looking forward to getting something new...eventually]
but this is what I have at the moment...

My question what is the best drawing tablet or stylus to achieve some hand drawn images?

I am happy with the wacom-bamboo I bought.
My tip is don't think buying a bigger one is better. I made that mistake with my first tablet, I paid more to get a 12" model. The larger the area the more you have to move your hand before anything happens, feels weird.
The second (current ) one I bought was much smaller but still felt too big! I use linux so I used a script to reduce the drawing area further.
Anyway that's my thoughts, but watch some youtube videos and get other peoples impressions.
