Wacom Intuos3 4 x 6-Inch Wide Format Pen Tablet (PTZ431W) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought a Graphire4 4x5 tablet first thinking it would be enough for me... It was ok, but then I got a chance to play with an Intuos3 tablet and decided to return it.
Intuos3 gives you a much nicer feeling when you're drawing, just as if you were on paper, not plastic. Resolution is much higher, I'm getting very accurate results. Of course, using a tablet takes getting used to and might not be for everybody.
The pen is very comfortable to hold and comes with a bunch of replacement tips, including a softer-than-normal and a harder-than-normal tips (1 each).
The mouse is actually quite usable on this tablet as opposed to graphire4.
Long USB cord makes it possible to take the tablet off the table and onto your lap.
Overall, a fantastic tool for anybody who needs a better way to control their drawing/photo retouching.
For those, who say it is rather small - true, but the next one up is $100 more expensive. It gets the job done and works great for wide screen monitors without sacrificing horizontal resolution. I guess, for people who paint a much bigger tablet is in order, but this one should be quite enough for photo manipulations.
I only wish Wacom included some kind of handwriting recognition software for free with it, though they offer 20% discount on EverNote products (check out ritePen - it is amazing) as well as other product discounts
