Reader Reviews : Graphics Tablet Reviews

By , About.com Guide

Graphics tablets are a popular way to work with graphics software. They let you draw on the screen with the more natural feeling of a pen or a pencil, instead of a mouse, which is often described as trying to draw with a bar of soap! Wacom is certainly the most popular brand of graphics tablet, but it is by no means the only one. Browse reviews of graphics tablets help you choose the right graphics tablet for your needs and budget, or write a review of the graphics tablet(s) you've used, to help others choose a graphics tablet.

Review a Graphics Tablet

Intuos 4 Medium

Now that the Intuos 5 is out, there's not much point buying this, but to those who have this and are thinking to upgrade- not worth it. The pen technology in 5 is the same, and the only upgrades from…More

Wacom Bamboo "Great First Tablet"

The wearing of the nibs is a real problem, I don't want to pay more for extra nibs every so often (the first went quickly for me). There are differing opinions on this but it seems Wacom is not doing…More

Wacom Bamboo Capture

I like how light the tablet is. I prefer to draw with the tablet in my lap and I don't get tired holding the Bamboo. The pen enabled area seems small. I say seems because it really works out fine in …More

Aiptek Hyperpen 12000u 12x9

This is a decent tool if you just need the basics - if you are really an artist I think you would be happier with a more expensive item from Wacom from what I have read. If just starting though, ther…More

Wacom Intuos 4 - Nib Wear is Expensive

The build quality, set-up, ease of use, and functionality of this product is excellent. I really can't fault it at all for everything it claims to be. It has doubled my work efficiency by replacing t…More

Bamboo Fun Pen & Touch medium

I bought a Bamboo Fun tablet around a month ago and went through the first nib in 2 weeks, using the tablet every day. Reading several blogs on the Internet when I noticed the quick flattening proble…More

Wacom Bamboo Fun - Nibs Wear Out

At the moment my satisfaction with this product is around 80%, it would be higher if the pen nibs didn't wear out so quickly and cause little scratches on the tablet surface. In the pack I bought it …More

Wacom Cintiq

I like it because I'm insecure about not being to work directly on the picture but its pen sensitivity isn't really as good as some of its other siblings, which I expected. But it's a really nice, co…More

Hanvon 6x4 graphic tablet from Telbak Technology

I was searching for another option to a Wacom Bamboo tablet but I did not want to get tablets that I have to replace battery every month. Finally, I found a tablet with same Technology as Wacom and s…More

Wacom CTE-630 8x6 (Sapphire)

After a lot of use it becomes a habit.... I also have a Wacom CTE - 440, which I do not use as much. I prefer the larger tablet for daily use. But I keep the smaller Wacom Tablet available in case of…More

Vis Tablet WCK-C121-HT

I much rather use my smaller, very worn Wacom tablet.Vis Tablet is extremely prejudiced toward PCs, catering to the Mac system as an afterthought, not taking into account that most people who would u…More

Wacom Intuos 2

Wacom used to be an esoteric item for art directors of ad agencies and such. It has moved with enthusiasm into scrapbooking. Evidently it's a great success in this, which has no interest for me. I li…More

Monoprice 8x6

Around the perimeter of the table are hot cells, some are programmable. They have a little picture of an arrow that you follow with your pen to activate a command (for example, trace over a little C …More
