For pressure sensitive pen input Wacom seems to be the main choice:

Most or all of them are Mac compatible, you can check in the specifications for a specific model to make sure.

Wacom is a really good brand for graphic design tablets, and you can use these to draw diagrams or sketches in Photoshop with Pen-Pressure. Software for the tablets are also customisable, so you can set bindings to the pen buttons and change sensitivity (for pen pressure too).

The INTUOS

If you aren't afraid of sparring more money, you can get their other range which has a built in display: http://www.wacom.com/products/pen-displays

The CINTIQ

But if you want an affordable version with pen pressure and does everything you need it to do (just draw diagrams), then the BAMBOO is a good option, as it's only around $50.

I think I will go for a cheap one to just satisfy my needs for now. Thanks a lot.

Any softwares recommended for doing wireframes using the stylus on macbook air?
Basically i like to draw some rough wireframes with my stylus and save them later for reference.

Sorry for late replies, if you want something neat I'd recommend flair builder. But if you want to draw the wife frames then something like indesign or photoshop would be the best bet. ^^
