Well, if you dun take care of it very well, like what I did, it'll act this way. But other than that, it'll last pretty long. You do have to do a once in awhile pen nib change, but thats pretty easy.
If you're buying a tablet, it's your choice on whether you're gonna buy the big and expensive one, or go with the one I got. It's all in the pressure sensitivity and the drawing area. Graphires' sensitivity is roughly 512, same goes with Bamboo Fun. Also the very expensive Cintique....(which is kind of sad really)
The lovely Inuos series has the higher pressure sensitivity than the others. Intuos 3 is 1024 and the brand new Intuos 4 is 2048..<3 Besides the pressure, it also has a big drawing area.
Sadly, the better the tablet, the more expensive it is. Graphires cost roughly $100, I think bamboo fun is the same. Cintique is $1000 (because you're drawing like directly on the picture + big drawing area) and the lovely Intuos is $200-$300. Whichever your budget and choice is, choose wisely..XD 'Cos I just got my tablet last year..and I'll be getting an Intuos this year (hopefully Intuos 4).
Good luck.
