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

Wacom Intuos 3 test and review

Wacom's graphics tablets have found a home in many video editors toolkits since they started coming available so cheaply, but do higher-spec'd models merit attention? The Intuos 3 range boasts increased sensitivity and a programmable keyset. We take a...

For many programs, Wacom's inclusion of ExpressKeys and Touch Strips makes a huge improvement on past functionality, and increases the range of applications that a pad might be useful for. The ability to generate hand-drawn imagery on-screen without...

Wacom Intuos3 A6 Wide

If you find that using Photoshop is easier with a graphics tablet, the Wacom Intuos3 A6 Wide is unobtrusive on the desktop.

Pro feel and quality build, intuitive ease of use, responsive, difficult to imagine not using it for all things creative

A6 format is nearer A5 with surround, Graphire4 A6 is cheaper and may be better for those on the move, single set of ExpressKeys and Touch Strip, no mouse

This is a valid but not vital addition to the wonderful Wacom range. Until widescreen laptops become the standard the Intuos3 A6 may have limited appeal. However, with built-in future-proofing this could still be an option now should you opt for a...

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.
