GREAT Tablet!

 

I LOVE this tablet, and I also bought another Wacom tablet to replace this one. It's time to pass this little guy to a newcomer into the graphics tablet world.

I bought this back in 2009. I always wanted to try a graphics tablet, being a graphic designer, but they were so expensive! I found this tablet for a VERY descent price (about $55 at the time). It is now 2015, and this table is not only alive and...

NONE!

Wait.. Before you buy!

 

I'm uber mad at the fact that, I bought this for around > $80, and now its $70?? what the heck? Hold on, it gets better! 2-3 months later, Wacom releases a newer tablet, costs about $100 and has finger-touch & Pen capabilities, oh em gee-dude! i'm...

first of all its Wacom, a great brand indeed! second, its pretty cheap I payed $78 for this and now its 70. Its pretty thin, not heavy at all, and super portable. Pretty great for a first time tablet, works fine and dandy even when you just plug it in,...

Pretty small active area that takes adjusting to, nothing big. Pen is "sketchy" to say the least. LOL. Pen holder is small, and kinda feels cheap. Oh! Smudges, cant even begin to describe it. Its pretty bad. If you have oily hands or something, you'll...

Great for me

 

Not really for professional use, this thing is great for me as a hobbist, and it functions very well, I just feel that at a higher level the size and average sensitivity wouldn't be enough.

User-friendly, easy setup, price, quality. Great for the hobbist or someone looking for an entry-level tablet. Wacom makes awesome stuff and for this price you can't beat the quality. As always Newegg shipped very fast.

size and average pressure sensitivity, but that was expected so not really a con to me.

Great Product, Well Made

 

Overall this is a great product. It performs great, it's made well and even looks nice. If you're looking to take the first steps in designing with a tablet this is a great introduction. My work looks better and I'm getting it done a lot faster. Now...

As far as tablets go this one is well designed and has a lot of nice features for a very reasonable price. I'm a Web Designer and also do a lot of Graphic Design and this has definitely made my life easier. I've wanted to make the jump to a tablet for...

The pad is a bit small for me, but I use two monitors and it still works well. It takes a bit to get used to the sensitivity of the pen tip but after a little practice I'm really getting the hang of everything.

Great entry level tablet

 

If you are interested in buying a tablet, have never used one, or just aren't sure if you'd use it much, this is it. This is perfect, the price is great and the quality is of course, high. Wacom is the industry standard and even their entry level shows...

Looks great. Plug n play. Good size. Comes with pen. No problems.

None.

perfect for small home business

 

I have a home based photography business, and was looking for an inexpensive tablet that would work with Photoshop to allow me to edit digital images. The Wacom Bamboo works perfectly. I had read reviews that the more expensive, but similarly sized...

The Wacom Bamboo is quite affordable and just as capable as it's more expensive counterparts at doing exactly what it is designed for. Solid construction (though I still wouldn't recommend dropping it) and convenient size does not take up a lot of...

Windows Vista and 7 both recognize the tablet and install generic drivers. However, to get the full functionality of the table isntall the drivers from Wacom. The generic drivers do not enable the programable buttons or configure the size of the tablet...

Fantastic

 

This is a fantastic product. I have not used other digital tablets so I have nothing to compare it to. However, it is very slick looking and works very well. It even works with the latest Ubuntu right out of the box. If you need a bigger bad this may...

Solid, accurate, easy to use.

None that I can think of.

Good

 

I have nothing to do with photography. I did not buy it with that in mind. I bought it to hand written notes and it works perfectly windows 7 the word recognition software works great. I have extremely messy handwriting and it gets every word i write...

Great for using as a mouse and doing handwriting in windows vista and 7.

Pen seems like it would be easy to loose. Handwriting in office you have to buy software

Great Tablet!

 

A great product, does everything you want it to. I'm not a professional artist, but I understand what is needed to get your work done. This has worked perfectly for me. I have drew a couple of pictures on it and the pressure sensing is fabulous! I...

In vista it can be a bit delayed...
