If you need to buy Mac or iPad, let me know. I sold my Apple business and my new owner can offer education price. Education price is most of the time cheaper than buying from other places.
Also, iPad & Wacom tablets are 2 very different devices. Former is a multipurpose device which supports drawing. Latter is a dream for someone who draws a lot, you won't be able to live without it if you really use it on a daily basis.
