Touch input device to PC / notebook?

[agantuk]

To begin with, I don't even know if this is the right sub section to post.

I want to know IF there is any touch screen device which can be connected to a computer - probably via USB - which can send the touch inputs to the system.

Something like a electronic slate where I can draw stuff, and then that gets displayed - preferably real time - on the computer.

Is something like this available?

PS: I think I am looking for an electronic drawing pad

wacom bamboo pen and touch. lowest cost is the bamboo series coming around $99. if buying, get from usa instead of india.

There is the other version too of bamboo which does not support touch. so be careful while shopping.

Sorry am completely a noob about these brands, but is Wacom the best one for this device?

well most graphic designers swear by it, including me. I have a refurbished bamboo one (model CT450 - without touch) which i got for $45 and it works like a charm. The newer versions of bamboo support touch i think.
