Sleek, stylish, very smooth and easy to use. Premium digital graphics tablet with a premium price, but well worth it, assuming you know what you're doing with.Now, if you just want to use a tablet as a mouse replacement, you might want to consider buying some of wacoms cheaper models, like the Bamboo MTE450KEN, which costs about the sixth of the price of this. Now I've never used that one and can't tell you if it's good or not, but just something to keep in mind. If you're just using tablet as a mouse replacement, the 2048 different pressure levels this thing can measure, won't do you much good. But if you are looking for something a bit more serious, well then this might just be the thing for you.I do have to admit,I quite like using my computer with this. It is very intuitive to use a pen to control the computer; I don't much use my mouse anymore these days. The tablet is more accurate, more natural, and I'll probably also avoid wrist injuries. It has a few tricks up its sleeve also (besides the customizable touch wheel and menus). The pen can also do what they call 'pen flicks', where you do a quick move on the pen to emulate a page up, or back or forward actions for example. These work really well when browsing for example.I did have doubts about if I should get the bigger model, the A5 sounds so small, but actually the drawing area is slightly bigger than A5. If you put a A5 paper on the tablet vertically, the touch surface is the height of the A5, but much wider, as it is a wide screen tablet. I did however read a lot of comments before buying, saying that bigger isn't necessary better when it comes to graphics tablets, and this seems indeed to be true. It is very accurate, and if it was bigger you would be doing much bigger movements, and possibly tiring yourself while doing it. Yes for a very serious artist, painter or CAD professional the L or the XL model might make sense, but all in all the M size is pretty good.The installation of the tablet is very easy. Just install the software from the bundled CD, attach the tablet via USB and you're all set. The installation software works like a charm. You can then configure the tablet to work differently with different applications, e.g. pressure sensitivity, double click delay etc. You can also customize the buttons, the wheel and the custom menus to be different for different applications. The configuration application does do it's job, but it took me a few extra minutes to figure out how it works. For the price I would've expected a little more effort put into that. The configuration software looks and feels like something from ten years ago, it doesn't have the cutting edge feeling to it which the tablet has otherwise. Well maybe that is a bit unfair, as the configuration is easy after you figure out the application.You can also download one software from Wacoms site for free, there are three options (including Adobe photoshop elements), but you can only select one, and once you've made your choice, that is it. But yes, you do want a drawing software to get the full benefit from this, this is meant for drawing (sketching, drawing, inking, coloring etc). So that's what I'm learning currently (previously I've only drawn with pens and ink), so we'll see how that goes. I mean, how hard can it be.The pen itself is very comfortable, sturdy, but not heavy. It slides effortlessly on the tablet without scratching. And did I mention how stylish the damn thing is? I need to upgrade my work space to suit around it better. It does feel like the premium product it should be. I can understand why this tablet is on every digital artists table.Highly recommneded, assuming you know what to do with it.

This is the second tablet I've used from Wacom, the first being a very basic Graphire Series A6 tablet. I've mostly used it with Adobe Creative Suite and CAD software, where precision is fundamental, and the Graphire has met the job on most occasions apart from super fine work in Photoshop. However, the nib has eventually worn out and it was time for a new tablet, so the choice was either the Bamboo (which is a basic tablet, but good value for money) and the new Intuos 4.Eventually, it was the greater precision and functionality that persuaded me to buy the Medium size Intuos 4, and it's been fantastic.The new OLED function buttons are a fabulous idea and enable you to see at a glance what the functions have been assigned to a particular program.

This is the first tablet I have used so this is my experience I took some advice and started using the tablet as a mouse to get use to placement, well to start I thought what a waste of money but after 2 days I found I didn't need to look at the tablet and found it just got as atomatic as using a mouse then I started useing it to draw with and the increase in speed and accuracy with this over a mouse made the cost irrelevant. I found the medium sized tablet to suit my drawing style just right though the work area can be made smaller if you find it to big and to much movement.The setting of the function keys to individual programs is easy and once you have used those programs a bit you get an

Short review: I love it, it's made to professional standards, the active draw area is made very well and resists marks from pen nibs with ease. Comes with multiple nibs which is very helpful, and they are all tucked away inside the pen holder so that you don't lose them.*Pros:Excellent build qualityThe material surrounding the active area feels very nice to rest your wrists on and is ergonomic.Lots of extrasPen holder is also the nibs holder.Comes with 10 nibs (11 including 1 in the pen) that have been made with different materials to suit needs.*ALL* of the keys, radial buttons and pen buttons are customisable to whatever you want.Very sensitive*Cons:This is possibly just a personal annoyance,

I have recently purchased this tablet from Amazon to replace an older model which I have had for about 12 years, whcih I was also extremely happy with. The reason for updating was that the older model had no new drivers to work with windows 7. The New intuios is so much better with a lot more functions and customerbility to individual demands, easy to use and very, very stylish. The only small problem is that the working surface can get scratched with the pen after time and I understand also wears the nibs out faster, but this is easily overcome by covering the work surface with an acitate sheet which on the earlier model was already fitted.

Very sleek and slender.All the features intergrate nicely.I'm enjoying using it more than I did a friends intuos3 but if i owned one i'm not sure i'd feel the need to upgrade, despite the doubled sensitivity (for my usage/needs at least)The tablet's general performance and build quality are as high as you would expect from wacom's intuos line (and as high as you would demand at this price point!)The new shortcut key OLED displays are brilliant for keeping track of multi app custom settings. Toggling scroll wheel also works fantasticly well.In short if you need it, it lives up to reputation and expectation.If you're new to graphics tablets,

I am a full time professional Portrait Photographer in Ascot, Berskhire and this is my first Graphics Tablet having used a mouse for photo editing for years.It was very easy to set up and pretty easy to tailor to my needs for each package.I find the medium size slightly on the large size and certainly would not go for the large size. I think the smaller size would be two small in my case as I have three screens on my computer.It is taking me time to get used to the pen (it works differently to a mouse) but do prefer it in some ways.I am still struggling to get the accuracy of control that I need for my work but I find it an improvement over the mouse.Excellent product and very pleased with it,

Coming from Wacom Bamboo this tablet felt so much better to work with.By mistake I bought it one size bigger than intended, but I don't regret. It is really a nice product and the size fells perfect.Love the zoom wheel and the precision mode. Although the buttons are a little to hard to press for my taste.

This is still my main tablet, it's lasted so long, love the led labels/buttons, have edited them to suit my workflow needs. Given the size of the tablet, it fits nicely into my 15inch laptop bag, its about the same size as the laptop. Perfect for mobility.

Great features, great sensitivity, if only it was cheaper would of course make me a little happier :/ been wanting to get a wacom tablet for years and finally caved and nabbed one, I'm glad I did! :)
