Wacom Intuos3 4x5 Tablet review

Wacom Intuos3 4x5 tablet Wacom's Intuos3 4x5 tablet features a digital pen, a mouse, and a tablet designed for artists and graphic designers who need a degree of control unattainable with a standard mouse. Regular computer users who suffer from...

Digital pen has 1,024 levels of pressure sensitivity; easy and intuitive to use; customizable buttons.

Expensive; the small 4x5 model doesn't have a large enough work space for the mouse.

Its $200-plus price tag might surprise you, but Wacom's new Intuos3 Tablet makes it easy for anyone to draw or write accurately on a computer.

Wacom Intuos3

Thanks to the addition of ExpressKeys and Touch Strips, the latest tablet from Wacom is the company's best innovation in years.

Excellent new ExpressKeys and Touch Strips ; comfortable pen ; ExpressKeys can be programmed for specific applications

No way to label ExpressKeys

The Intuos3 (which comes in three sizes: 4 by 5 inches, 6 by 8 inches, and 9 by 12 inches) represents the latest release in Wacom's flagship tablet line. (I tested the 6-by-8-inch unit for this review.) In contrast to the more economical Graphire line,...

Wacom Intuos3 Graphics Tablet

There are few tools out there that can be said to be applicable to everybody in the visual arts. But a graphics tablet is surely one of them. Whether you're in 2D or 3D, whether you design still or motion graphics, whether you're just retouching images...

Wacom Intuos3 Graphics Tablet: Whack 'em with a Touch Strip

Wacom's latest pressure-sensitive tablet gets more hands-on controls and programmable buttons, but is the added bulk worth it? Sean Wagstaff puts pen to plastic to find out.

To be fair, the Intuos 3 is still a pressure-sensitive tablet that works as well as any that came before it. Furthermore, the reasons for using a Wacom are somewhat enhanced by the new input features. On the other hand, I suspect the function buttons...

Wacom Intuos 3 A6 Wide

Nobody seems to be trying too hard to displace Wacom from the top of the tablet market. We can't blame other tech producers - it's not a fight we would choose, either. After all, Wacom does such a good job
