Advice on writing tablets required

So,here is my second post here

,
My questions are based on writing device/tablets-:
My use case - Writing for online teaching and a little bit of drawing .
Budget - Will spent the req. amount but anything above 5k is a big no-no
1- Are writing devices at such a low budget (and buying them for such a use case )just bs?
2- Are wacom devices( specifically Amazon.in: Buy Wacom One by CTL-472/K0-CX Small 6-inch x 3.5-inch Graphic Tablet (Red/Black) Online at Low Prices in India | Wacom Reviews & Ratings) not worth it for such use case and is outrageous?
3- Which one should I buy?
Thanks in advance ,fellow geeks!!

I don't think they are. Though I am not sure about the build quality. Wacom is a pretty well known manufacturer of tablets so I don't think anything's wrong with buying their products. IIRC, Wacom One is their entry level model so expected to be targeted to budget consumers.

Ohk so I should buy wacom one or are there any other options I need to consider?

Like I said, Wacom is a good company so you can go ahead with it.

Quick search on Amazon shows that that is the only one within your budget that's in your budget. There's also Huion but I don't know much about that.

Though you might want to wait a few hours so that other forum members can give their advice as well.

Thx for the advice :thumbs:

,so walcom one it is .(unless some other forum member changes my opinion :-o

).

But from where would you buy? It's out of stock as of now.

I found this while looking. Review seems good.

Amazon.in: Buy Wacom One by CTL-472/K0-CX Small 6-inch x 3.5-inch Graphic Tablet (Red/Black) Online at Low Prices in India | Wacom Reviews & Ratings u may need to select the seller manually tho, it is currently being sold on a huge discount in my area.

I just purchased the tablet and it went out of stock, guess it was the last price which explains the discount.

Will report back on 27 June -1 july when it finally arrives

(I just hope I am not screwed as the situation seems fishy to me now :emoji_fingers_crossed:

)

Deliveries are delayed everywhere until this COVID situation clears.

Ummm............he should at least mention that he is reviewing a glove. :facepalm:

Whoops... I meant to link a tablet, instead I linked a glove:

*www.amazon.in/dp/B078YNBFXG/

BTW, the Wacom one is in stock again too. But with price Rs 3849, which is higher than normal price.

Oh...n.p

. I already purchased wacom one though, thought 2,800 was its normal price and bought it for 2400

Did you purchase it though Amazon, cause the price never seem to go below 3800. Where did you get it for 2400!?

That's why I said the situation seemed fishy to me (as the price was so low and the seller was new and the product went out of stock as soon as I purchased it) but anyway here it is

You actually bought from a seller named "ASHOKE RANJAN HALDAR shop" !

And the price is 3400, not 2400 :/

People are reporting increasing case of fake/fraud sellers on amazon nowadays & for hassle free return & refund seller should be at least amazon fulfilled & preferably prime eligible too(just like all products from amazon own seller appario retail & cloudtail).

Man, you got me scared.
So, considering all things I requested cancellation from the seller and will return the product once and if it arrives(if the seller didn't act on my mail), and I WILL make sure I get my refund.

In my defence I didn't know till now that some products were not handled by Amazon , and were handled instead by the seller (surprised me very much when I didn't see the cancellation button and then I then contacted Amazon customer service as soon it was possible).It wasn't apparent that the product was to be handled by the seller only anywhere during the purchase(otherwise I would have not purchased it in the first place) .So my question is that how will I know whether a certain product will be handled by the seller or Amazon from next time?

(Needless to say I truly and greatly messed up this particular purchase )

I CODed everytime untill covid happened , so these shenanigans were pretty much non-existent for me.

Hope everything will go well for you,

But always buy stuff from 'Amazon Fulfilled' batch or 'Prime' (if you are a member) batch listed product only. This product listed by 'Appario Retail Pvt LTD' who is the giant / trusted seller in Amazon. Another reputed seller/retailer is 'Cloudtail India'.

You can trust them with eyes closed as well if anything goes wrong with them Replacement Policy is very very easy with them in the given time line.

Thanks for the help

PS. So basically sellers like one attached (in the picture) a no-no?

Look for "amazon fulfilled" tag, it mans amazon is responsible for handling & delivery of product with seller's role only to hand over the product to amazon. "Prime" tag means that product is eligible for Prime members benefits & this tag is only given to usually big &/or reputed sellers as prime members are paying members of amazon site. Every "prime" eligible product is also automatically "amazon fulfilled" but reverse is not always true. Check a seller's rating & it should be at least 80%+ with at least 100+ reviews in last one year(the more the better). Buy hdd/pendrives/sd cards etc from appario retail/cloudtail as these are amazon own sellers. There are some good pc components sellers also on amazon for stuff like processors,ram,mobos etc like A1price A1products,TPS Technologies etc.
