 Finally! The Perfect Pen Tablet November 19, 2008
Victor Puyada (Doral, FL United States)
I have gone through tons of drawing tablets over the last few years, and they have ALL led to disappointment. I had always thought about getting a Wacom tablet because of its rave reviews, but I shyed away from it due to the higher price tag. Well - the addage is true: "You get what you pay for."
The Wacom Bamboo (small) is just a few bucks more than your generic drawing tablets, but it is EXCELLENT! It is very responsive, comfortable to use, and easy to install. I use it extensively with my graphics and animation applications, and it makes everything easier.
Don't be discouraged by the small size of the tablet. It basically makes the tablet space a compressed version of your screen, so the entire screen is virtually accessible from the tablet. I have a 22" widescreen LCD, and it works perfectly with the small size.
You won't be disappointed. I'm definitely sticking with Wacom from now on.
Great price, good quality November 18, 2008

Works as advertised. Very responsive pen, inexpensive way to get into a tablet solution. I used to use a 6x8 tablet, purchased this for my new Vista laptop. Going to 4x5 wasn't that bad, it is a good compromise in size for convenience.
 excellent for the price November 3, 2008

My previous tablet was about 4 years [...] and they have come a fair distance since then. The added functionality of the buttons on top is great, althought it would be even better if their function could be customized per application. The usb cable disconnects at both ends now which is great. The whole unit is thinner and smaller, yet the usable area is slightly larger. The feel has become even more like drawing on paper. The pen itself is ok, could be a little heavier and the rocker button feel isn't the best, I would prefer it a little firmer. They removed the spot to put the pen IN the tablet which was convenient since I often used it in different positons being that it was so small. The pen holder is hollow and lightweight, it twists open and I filled mine with pennies. Overall really great tablet for the price!
Big surprise in a small package! November 1, 2008

The product quality was excellent and the performance better than expected. I highly recommend this product for this price. I use photoshop and it satisfies all my needs. I thought that I needed a larger tablet and was reluctant to go with one this size. But I thought I would try it first and make the plunge for the much more expensive tablets at a latter date. Presently I question whether this is going to be necessary and I am well satisfied with what I have. For the price you can't beat this deal!
 graphic tablet October 31, 2008
Karen C. Heim
The Bamboo graphic tablet is very easy to use. The directions are easy to follow. It does take some getting used to in using a tablet if you have not used one before. I like the idea of not casting a shadow on the smartboard when I'm writing. It will make things easier for students to read.
