Great Tablet!

 

This tablet is very fun and easy to use. Setup is very simple (plug in, install drivers, ready to go!) The price wasn't bad. Also the software that came with it was nice, but I needed something with a bit more depth so I purchased Autodesk Sketchbook Pro

Fantastic Item

 

I bought this for an aspiring young artist in our family and she is able to sketch using this in the same or better quality than she can on paper. She is able to effortlessly zoom in on edges and small areas for finely detailed work that I would think,...

This device is so accurate and smooth that it is as like drawing on paper, maybe better

There are no cons that the artist I bought this for has commented upon other than she did have issues with "pressure sensitivity," as she put it, but that turned out to be an issue in the operating system and not in the device. The information to...

Tablet of the Starving Digital Artists.

 

Great for artists on a budget and ones that wish to dabble into digital art. Good for new and old artists. If you purchase, plug the thing in before shoving the disc in. The disc box lies to you.

Fantastic tablet for $70. You can draw and such and life is a party. I can't compare it to one's that are $200 or more, because that would be unfair and just silly ; I COULD compare it to my last wacom bamboo tablet I had for many years beforehand,...

Cord is a tad short, but I'm not bleeding and the world will go on. So far, no other problems I have encountered. I wouldn't feed it after midnight

TERRIBLE DESIGN

 

never got to the pros

the pen cannot be calibrated to change the speed, rendering the tablet useless. the pen is auto calibrated to your monitor, so the larger your monitor the faster your pen willl move. I have a low-end tablet from over 10 years ago that allows you to...

Perfect.

 

Software is really nice, you probably want to use SketchBookExpress for drawing, as it's the easiest (IMO) for drawing. The software also comes with a little dock for apps and such that you can customize.

Everything. Easy to use, hardly takes any time at all to get used to, fun to just use (something I really didn't expect), and just overall works perfectly

I haven't seen any at all

Interesting

 

You can get used to the writing.

I got this more for hobbying, but it is pretty good It takes getting used to, but the text recognition works pretty well. I used it to write this, but it's hard not seeing a response on the tablet

The LCD ones are $1000

Fantastic

 

Very fast shipping. Seven hours ago it was a couple hundred miles away ; I've owned an intuos4 before. The functionality to this one is very similar, even though the intuos is more ergonomic. That does not mean this is a bad tablet! I feel like these...

Lovely

 

Lovely product, Comes with a few art programs, which work very nicely if you are a beginner/ are looking to get a program. Highly recommend this for anyone looking for a tablet that needs something effective, simple, lightweight and easy to carry.

Very light. Active area seems small, but after 15-20 minutes of use it feels plenty big enough ; The pen is rather comfortable ; Doesn't leach battery from my laptop as I've seen other usb devices do

Cons: the pen doesn't have an eraser side, SO FAR. I'm still playing around with it, looking for all the ins and outs ; The Launcher thing, when you plug it in kinda gets in the way, but its closed easily
