nice started tablet

 

i like this

This starter tablet is almost exactly what i was looking for in a tablet. Just to kind of find something cheap that I could try out doing concept art with. It works well enough for a beginner but if I could I'd of waited another month or so and just...

none seems to work fine without anything going wrong so far

Good overall for price

 

If using Win7, this is a great inexpensive device that works well with several programs. Didn't try programming any of the hot buttons ... got so mad it wouldn't work with GIMP I gave it to my daughter, so as soon as I upgrade to Win7, I will buy...

Very thin and light, works great with Paint, very responsive

WILL NOT work with GIMP on my WinXP SP3, nor will it even let me change any settings, even when using latest drivers from website, spent MANY hours scouring through blogs for tips on making it work with GIMP/XP with no results, so if you are using Win...

Overall a great value

 

I actually bought this for my 11 year old daughter. She loves to draw, so I got her Paint Shop Pro, and this tablet for her laptop. There is a bit of a learning curve, so we went over the .pdf file that was installed with the drivers and software and...

Installation was super easy, nice sturdy surface to work with, the pen has a bit of a learning curve, but that was expected. It performs quite well for what it is being used for. Using it with Corel Paint Shop Pro

As others have said, USB cord is too short, mouse is pretty useless

I was pretty happy with this.

You have to push down a little more than I like to in real life.

great tablet

 

I like this tablet. It makes coloring my pictures in CS2 way more fun and its alot easier. for the first time ever using one, i think it does pretty good

small size makes it easier to use in tight place when you have no room. Easy to install drivers on windows. easy to get use to once you fiddle around with it for a bit

it glitches from time to time, though I think its either the battery or my computer running background programs
