I had my eye on this in my local asda for a while and noticed today they had dropped them to £15.

It is the Trust TB5300
http://www.trust-site.com/products/product.aspx?artnr=15356 for specs.

It is a basic entry level graphics tablet, but I have found it great for use in photoshop etc and at £15 its worth it.

I can't find it on Asda's website, but I have seen them in a few stores so there is a good chance you local store will have them.

Official MoneySavingExpert.com Forum insert:

Just to add a little more information, ASDA's confirmed that there are still around 1,500 of these graphics tablets across its 159 stores nationwide, and they'll all go through for £15 at the checkout. While that's quite a lot of stock for an item like this, it's still worth phoning ahead if you're planning a special trip.

What's a graphics tablet anyway?


It's a computer input device (like a keyboard or mouse), which allows you to hand-draw digital images using a special stylus. It's best for tracing things you've drawn on to paper so you don't lose your place in the picture. The entry-level Trust model featured will only work on Windows computers, and looks like this:

Thanks again to Percy1983 for the spot!

    It's like an electronic pad with a special "pen" that lets you draw images on the computer.

    I hope other stores do have them now, I have checked 2 the manchester area (Chadderton and Harpurhey).

    In both cases the entertainment section has a computer bits section (keyboards, webcams etc) they are boxed exactly as shown above.

    I don't think to many people know about these yet so you should have a good chance of getting one before they all end up on ebay.

    My local store still has some and I am willing to get them in the post to people if they can't get one. As I am going the post office a lot right now (ebay sales) it really would be no problem as long as the postage is paid (don't think postage will be more than £2.50)

    Good luck

    Oh no.... I'll never get to ASDA in time to get one - what a bargain price too. I do loads of Photoshop work and this would be a real treat.

    Arrrrgh.

    A while ago ASDA were selling Trust Wireless Mice for £6. I bought one of those at the time and it's a cracking device. So I guess the trust products will all be very good value.

    So let me get this right. You swallow the tablet and it gives you the power to do graphics? Isn't that cheating? Down with that sort of thing!
