Serious A question for Digital Artists using drawing tablets

[Pyromaniac]

I've always been generally curious in drawing. Having done some sketches here and there and personally would love to do more of this digitally. If I'd place myself in the (non-digital) spectrum of skill, I'd say between beginner and intermediate skill level.

Anyway, the question.

Personally I'm looking for a drawing tablet with preferably four preffered requirements:

1. Not crap
2. Mobile/Screen(/Not always requiring a computer to work)
3. Bang for buck/Budget (I dont like spending a lot of money on stuff I'm not 110% certain of enjoying/wanting it. On the other hand I am not afraid of spending a bit more to get a greater benefit)
4. Preferably not Apple-products

Personally I just have a bad image of Apple and their treatment of (Old) products so being able to avoid them would be helpful. I could get over this if there's a blatant (worthwhile) advantage to apple products.

I am personally not aware of what good 'Specs' are for stuff like this, hence I'm asking those who hopefully have experience.

So, what device would you suggest?

Honestly, I might budge for this if I decide to go screenless.

Thanks for the advice ;D

the wacom intuos (the professional standard) is only 70 quid if you're buying a small version
add an extra hundred for the medium

of course if you're like @Subeh and willing to spend half a grand on something and really invest yourself in it, the gold standard is a wacom intuos pro large for 450 pounds
