Great product for professionals and amateurs alike.
Great product for professionals and amateurs alike. Easy to adapt and use. Natural feel. I'm an excellent pencil sketcher but have never had much experience with paints. In a manner of days, I was able to adapt to painting over my black n white sketches! A must for any art enthusiast. Rating:

Constantly unresponsive
The tablet will constantly stop working while I am using it. It eventually be responsive again for a little while and then promptly stop working again. It has been a very long time since any bugs have been fixed. With a bug as large as this it needs to be fix right away. Rating:

If you draw you need this
It works excellent with my 24" iMac. It feels similar to w drawing on paper. If you are an artist you owe it to yourself to get one of these. Rating:

Great tablet for widescreen
This is the second tablet I've ever owned, the first being an old Pablo tablet. The Pablo left me with a bad taste in my mouth for tablets in general, but I decided to give this a chance since Wacom has been around forever and Pablo has gone the way of the Dodo.
I just finished my first drawing class in college and wanted to translate those skills to the pc. It was a very natural transition for me, although there was an issue at first. This is a 'wide' tablet and my screen is a widescreen, the pixel ratio between the two weren't exactly the same, so circles drawn on the tablet turned into slight ovals on screen. This is an easy fix in the wacom settings app. After making the change, there is now about a 0.5" vertical strip on the left of the tablet that is unusable now (it's 'off screen'). This seems like a problem, but it really isn't and you won't notice it if you need to do this (you could always use it as an excuse to get a better monitor).
I was worried that the 6x11 size would be too small to work with, but it really is more than enough to work with, even with the unusable zone on the left. The size of the whole tablet is about as wide as a standard keyboard and a little taller.
A note for Vista users, when you install the tablet, Vista recognizes it and tries to use it as an input device for everything using handwriting recognition (it works impressively well), which is both cool and annoying. I finally turned it off as it just bugged me.
There was also a coupon for Photoshop CS3 in the packaging. I ended up getting both the tablet and Photoshop CS3 for the price of what Photoshop CS3 would have cost alone, a HUGE plus.
I really have nothing bad to say about this tablet, it simply rocks. Even though it's connected via a USB cable, the cable is roughly six feet long so I have all the freedom I could want. Rating:

Wrong proportions
This tablet is as good as other Wacom products (very good) but the 6x11 size matches no screen resolution I can find. And also doesn't match any two screen side-by-side resolution. The closest resolution to it's proportions would be 1920x1080, the resolution for 1080 HD video (the tablet's proportions would scale to 1920x1047) but monitors don't come in that size. Using my 1920x1200 monitor I have to portion off 1.4 inches of the tablets live area to work at 1:1. So I'm really using the tablet at 6x9.6 inches. a screen resolution of 1440x900 or 1680x1050 would have the same issue. I'm puzzled at the choice. |
