While this tablet is often touted as a tablet for beginners, I think it is much more capable than it is often noted for due to its responsiveness and ease of use. It's customizeable, so you can adapt it for use for your specific application. Its cost is another advantage. The stylus tips are more durable than I would expect, and last a long time. Replacement parts are easily available. I can't attest to Wacom's customer support (which is a good thing speaking for this item) because I have not had to call them. I am selling mine, but I will buy another WACOM tablet in the future when I have funds available to do so (perhaps this same one). I've enjoyed it, and I would recommend it. I have used it to create some sophisticated graphic art, and I feel it works better if the user has excellent graphics acceleration. The advent of USB 3.0 is underutilized in my opinion, however. I am disappointed that USB 3.0 is becoming more standard, and such few products utilize it. Either way, I have not noticed lags in response speed, and I have found any such lags in handwriting or drawing to be more related to hardware/software limitations, and this has not been an issue for me at all. For my purposes, pen strokes or brush strokes are fast and effortless, but your computing hardware will have a big impact on this I would imagine (good idea to check what other reviewers have to say). As far as "smoothing" of text and strokes, I would say a large part of this has very little to do with the tablet, and the smoothness of your productions has more to do with the software medium and pixel count you set in your graphics software. When I set my graphic design software for higher pixel counts, I don't experience problems with smoothness (which is why I emphasize it is important to have sufficient hardware to operate graphic design elements at higher pixel counts with adequate, responsive rendering speeds). In summary - great tool, easy to use, fun, great for beginners and pros! Good online support and compatibility/drivers! FUN!Read full review
8 inch tablet (drawing surface), 12 inch total. Buttons: pretty useless unless you can figure out how to reprogram them. The included software is awful. Here's how it works: When you get the pen near the tablet, you can move the cursor. When you want to draw, you put the tip on the tablet. Pros: Great for image editing. Lightweight. Inexpensive. Cons: The cord is on the wrong side in my opinion. When drawing on paper, you rotate it to draw comfortably. You can't do that with a tablet because you can't rotate the screen with it. You need to find a program with a "rotate canvas" feature, otherwise you have to draw in an unnatural and painful position. I use Mypaint for Linux (I use Debian Squeeze). Tablets have a slick surface and sense too much. It's like driving on ice. It's impossible to draw straight unless you move quickly. Some programs like Sai have a delay / smooth function to compensate. They will cost you more money. The touch surface often selects and does things I don't want to because it picks up my hand on the surface. It happens frequently. I bought this to save time by drawing directly into my computer instead of scanning all my drawings. It's too difficult to use though. I have to relearn how to draw. I feel like a 10 year old kid again and the stuff I can draw on this looks about like what I did at that age. The problems this tablet has aren't unique though. From what I've read, ALL tablets have these problems unless you spend several thousand dollars on a top of the line one. Frankly, unless you can pick one up for under $50 bucks and you're willing to relearn how to draw or if you want more control with image editing, tablets just aren't worth it. I suggest getting the one without the touchpad functions as long as the pen has an eraser. That's incredibly useful.Read full review
Love this product! It's the perfect size to fit in front of my keyboard to allow me to edit photos with the stroke of its pen (and the help of Photoshop).

Product was in excellent condition, everything I expected. Even the original packaging was intact and looked good. This model is older than the kind Wacom sells now, but though it lacks the some of the features that the newer ones have (such as customizable buttons), it boasts a much better pressure sensitivity.
