Wacom Intuos Small Graphics Drawing Tablet, includes Training & Software; 4 Customizable ExpressKeys Compatible With Chromebook Mac Android & Windows, photo/video editing, design & education,Black

I've had basic Wacom tablets in the past, so when I wanted to get a tablet for my 10 year old, I figured Wacom would be a good place to start. This Intuos tablet is great for beginner levels and I'm sure it would be good for semi-pros, or people who dont mind not having the drawing on the tablet its self. Very user friendly, the pen is comfortable to hold and comes with extra bits. The screen space is small, yet easy to maneuver. I like how the hot-keys are easy to set and change if need be. The reaction time is good when navigating the computer. I do wish this one came with a pen holder, but setting it in the grooved hotkeys is fine. When looking up Wacoms, I was honestly shocked at the price of the intuos. I thought I would be spending a few hundred dollars for something close to this quality, yet this one is very affordable and doesn't feel cheap. All in all I am very happy with it, and so is my child.

My views may be biased from drawing on a tablet, but here goes!Pros:The tablet has 4 buttons at the top that also double as a pen holder to keep it from rolling away. In total, you have access to CTL, ALT, Windows key, Tab, Shift, and Undo.The pen is not battery-operated, meaning it doesn't need to be charged. Now the tips will wear down eventually, so they will need to be placed but should last a few months depending on how much pressure you use when drawing.The drawing area may seem small but it's pretty effective. But there is a downside, I'll elaborate on the cons.The tablet works with multiple software and can even be used as a mouse.The pen has 2 buttons, The smaller front button is a grab tool and the back is a dropper tool shortcut (at least in Clip Studio Paint). They have more uses when combined with other buttons as well.The free softwares! If nothing else the 2 years of free Clip Studio Paint and access to 13 other software and trials.You can customize what the buttons do in each applicable software!Cons:Not a big one for me but the tablet is not Bluetooth. It has a USB wire to connect to the display that powers it. If your device doesn't have a USB port all hope is not lost as an adapter can easily solve the issue.The drawing area is quite small so it can be a hassle to move around the drawing if you aren't proficient with shortcuts.Picky cons:The buttons can be quite loud when pressedWhen drawing the pen makes a scratching sound on the tablet, this can possibly be corrected by getting a sort of paper-feel screen protector.Going from drawing on a tablet where you can see where exactly on a picture you're placing your pen instead of lining up your pen on a tablet with the cursor on your screen has been my biggest personal struggle. Not to mention learning the shortcuts instead of just being able to pinch the screen and zoom in and such.

i was always a really passionate person when it came to drawing, however i hated drawing on pen and paper. i felt so outdated and out of touch with this generation as it relates to drawing. i sat down one day and decided to buy this AMAZING product and i would buy it all over again. the design is beautiful and the touch sensitivity is on point, it’s easy to connect and set up and it’s extremely portable. i would recommend this to anyone who wants to get another look into the world of drawing, or people who simply want a better option. thank you.

I bought this for Zoom meetings during Covid. I run Ubuntu Linux and it did not work for me. I just opened up a paint program and drew on that. Probably works great on MS Windows.

I use this mainly to annotate Word documents, using the tools on the "draw" tab in Word. For that, it works well. It has fairly good control to allow me to mark or write where I intend. I would not say that I can make writing look great, or as good as I can with a pen and paper or even with an Apple Pencil on an iPad, but on the documents I am annotating, it is not important to make things look perfect.I will say that this is not exactly plug-in-play (at least on a Windows machine). When you plug it in, Windows does recognize it and does some setup. But, I did have to go onto Wacom's site to download the setup file and manually run it. Once I did that, it opened a pretty typical setup dialog box and it was very easy from there. You do have to restart your machine halfway through the process, so it is best to close everything besides your browser before you start the setup. Once the setup is complete, it works very well. The pen comes with one nib already inserted and then there are three extra nibs stored in the base of the pen (which screws apart).

It's a very reliable little table; I recommend it to people who want to start digital art!
