Questions about purchasing Wacom Bamboo Tablets?

as far as i know photoshop and corel are both demanding programs for your computer to run. I have more experience with photoshop, so i can not say much about corel but photoshop will likely be extremely hard on your netbook (the little laptops about 6x8 inches or so?) ESPECIALLY if you are planning on making professional/high resolution works. My advice would be to do your artwork on a desktop computer or a good quality laptop. as for the tablet, i love my Inuos4 to bits, and every euro cent of the 230euros was well worth it. but if you plan on getting decent quality along with something in the 100-150$ range a bamboo would probably be best for you. And for your DVD/CD drive predicament, if you still insist on trying to run photoshop on your netbook, i'm fairly sure they are available through download, as opposed to getting any package or something like that. i can't be sure since i used a torrent for all my adobe programs (SORRY ADOBE), i'm sure its easy to find out with a few minutes of research on their site.
