Hi Everybody!
For a while now I've been wanting to buy myself a tablet so that I can upgrade myself from just pencil-and-paper art to digital. However, the laptop that I currently own is small (a Lenovo Idea Pad, to be precise) and it doesn't have a disc drive.
The tablet I've had my eye on is the Wacom Bamboo Pen as it is cheap and I'm not in a good spot financially right now, but one of the requirements is that my computer has a disc drive. Therefore, I have the following questions:
1) Is the CD included really necessary, or does it just have software I can (legally, please) download off the internet somewhere or extra stuff that doesn't absolutely have to be included?
2) If not, is there another tablet of the same price and quality that I can get that doesn't require a CD?
3) As a last resort, would it be possible to set it up on another computer somewhere else that does have a disc drive, and then plug the tablet back into my laptop/transport the files on a USB drive or something and have it work okay?
I don't expect an answer right away or that anyone can answer all three, but any and all help would be nice!
