Summary: for any artist!
Review: pen works great, just like writing/drawing on paper or any other surface! though it does take getting used to. you are able to set the pressure and eraser too! works great in photoshop and other programs.

i use the wacom tablet daily! i use the mouse as a regular mouse on the tablet and it works great! it's so customized that even other people have trouble using it because they do not hold their hand in a certain way! the only negative thing is that i have not yet found how to program the middle scroll button using the included wacom program.

the BAD: the pen is too easy to knock off the stand when upright, cord is way too short [buy an USB extension cord], mouse could be more ergonomic and lightweight

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excelent tool!
Review: This graphics tablet is a must for anyone who wants to do serious graphic design. Drawing, tracing, painting, etc will become so much easier in Photoshop, Illustrator, Painter and 3D programs. And for everyone who isn't into graphics illustration, you will be able to sign your own name in your documents, make hand-written notes in certain programs and draw in simple drawing programs more naturally: Holding a pen. And get this, you can trace over other drawings by placing the drawing under the transparent overlay! In addition, you get a cordless mouse with a finger wheel! You can also do all your regular opening, closing, scrolling, dragging functions like you would with a mouse or use the cordless or your own mouse (if it isn't a serial mouse). And the buttons can be customized! PLUS, you get 6 free programs: Adobe Photoshop LE Painter Classic Pen Tools (plug-ins) Pen Office SE (PC only) Sensiva (PC only) Adobe Active Share (PC only). Installation was super easy! This USB tablet supports hot-plugging, which allows you to connect or disconnect the tablet while the computer is on. The only thing that I would have liked more was to get a better manual. They provide online manuals for the tablet and the programs but I like something to hold while I'm working. Printing dozen of pages doesn't sound so exciting to me. But for everyone who doesn't like "yet another manual" this won't be a problem at all. Lastly, I highly recommend this tool. It doesn't only look good, it comes from a great company and it's affordable. :)
