| This is a great product. I'm a photographer and editing my photographs used to take a lot of my time. This tablet made everything much easier. The only drawback is that it makes my computer run a bit slower when I'm using programs that use a lot of ram. It does take practice to get used to using the pen but only a couple of hours to get the hang of it though. The only negative thing... and it doesn't have anything to do with the product itself... was that whoever packed it didn't do a good job... so the box was almost open when I got it. |

 "input device overkill" | 2008-10-06 |

| I bought and returned this item with the idea I would use it as an input device alternative to relieve some stress from my mouse. Not good for that application, you still have allot of motion which includes increased arm and wrist motion. As far as a drawing device its very good but the amount of drawing I do I accomplish with a rollerball, not Picasso stuff but simple shapes and objects. Those into serious illustration cant live with out this device though. The quality of the materials seemed very good. |

 "Great product small gripe" | 2008-09-02 |
| - Reviewed By User: A36BOD7RMASBQ5 |
| I love this wacom 6x11, used on a pc with dual monitors and ps3 and painter. The only gripe I have is the slider quick button to the top left and right of the tablet area. My arm rests in that area when I draw so I start zooming in and out like crazy when my forearm touches the slider bar which is a pain at times. Other than that maybe a way to prop up the tablet would be cool, I'm using erasers right now. Sleek design and very lite. The pen has a great balance to it and fits very comfortable in your hand for those allnighters. Wireless would be great but not sure about response on a 500mg file. I would upgrade to a larger one maybe if I had the extra money but this size is great. |

The Wacom tablet is just great! At the beginning I was having some kind of difficulties coordinating the movements of my hand and just looking into the monitor, but pretty soon I started to know how to use it better and now I do more things with it than with the normal mouse.
I'm working on two monitors at the same time and it's just great that the included software lets you decide you want th tablet to cover so in case you want to use only on a program or screen, that will be easy to accomplish!

Using it with Vista, and it has worked perfectly. Took a bit to find and enable all the Features of Vista that can use a tablet, but everything works extremely well.
I was also very pleasantly surprised to find it included Photoshop Elements 6.0 -- was not expecting the latest version! And this tablet is absolutely awesome for photo editing (the primary reason I bought it in the first place). I find myself doing significantly more complex corrections now, and enhancing more photos in general too, just because it is now so easy to do!
Highly recommended, very accurate and capable, and the bundled software is remarkably high quality too; definitely a value add unless you already have Photoshop CS3 and/or the full strength Corel Painter X. And if you don't have those, but want them, it includes savings coupons for both Photoshop CS3 and Painter X - with savings totalling more than what you pay for the tablet! |

Haha, just kidding mom. ;)
On a serious note the wacome is an essential addition to any photo, graphic, or video professional. I do all three and this tablet has expanded my capabilities greatly. Using a pen is so much more natural than a mouse, thus you will be getting retouching done faster than before. It also has the pressure sensitivity which allows you to dynamically resize your brush even within a stroke.
The 6x11 size is defiantly sufficient for my needs, but make sure you get wide screen tablet if you have a widescreen monitor. Works together all the better.
You cant go wrong here... The only decision is if you would want the bluetooth version, and unless you want to burn through batteries get the corded.. It comes with a verry long usb cable so ive never had any problems. |

| Great product for professionals and amateurs alike. Easy to adapt and use. Natural feel. I'm an excellent pencil sketcher but have never had much experience with paints. In a manner of days, I was able to adapt to painting over my black n white sketches! A must for any art enthusiast. |

| It works excellent with my 24" iMac. It feels similar to w drawing on paper. If you are an artist you owe it to yourself to get one of these. |

| "Great tablet for widescreen" | 2008-04-25 |

This is the second tablet I've ever owned, the first being an old Pablo tablet. The Pablo left me with a bad taste in my mouth for tablets in general, but I decided to give this a chance since Wacom has been around forever and Pablo has gone the way of the Dodo.
I just finished my first drawing class in college and wanted to translate those skills to the pc. It was a very natural transition for me, although there was an issue at first. This is a 'wide' tablet and my screen is a widescreen, the pixel ratio between the two weren't exactly the same, so circles drawn on the tablet turned into slight ovals on screen. This is an easy fix in the wacom settings app. After making the change, there is now about a 0.5" vertical strip on the left of the tablet that is unusable now (it's 'off screen'). This seems like a problem, but it really isn't and you won't notice it if you need to do this (you could always use it as an excuse to get a better monitor).
I was worried that the 6x11 size would be too small to work with, but it really is more than enough to work with, even with the unusable zone on the left. The size of the whole tablet is about as wide as a standard keyboard and a little taller.
A note for Vista users, when you install the tablet, Vista recognizes it and tries to use it as an input device for everything using handwriting recognition (it works impressively well), which is both cool and annoying. I finally turned it off as it just bugged me.
There was also a coupon for Photoshop CS3 in the packaging. I ended up getting both the tablet and Photoshop CS3 for the price of what Photoshop CS3 would have cost alone, a HUGE plus.
I really have nothing bad to say about this tablet, it simply rocks. Even though it's connected via a USB cable, the cable is roughly six feet long so I have all the freedom I could want. |

| "Wrong proportions" | 2008-04-15 |
| - Reviewed By dflaws |
| This tablet is as good as other Wacom products (very good) but the 6x11 size matches no screen resolution I can find. And also doesn't match any two screen side-by-side resolution. The closest resolution to it's proportions would be 1920x1080, the resolution for 1080 HD video (the tablet's proportions would scale to 1920x1047) but monitors don't come in that size. Using my 1920x1200 monitor I have to portion off 1.4 inches of the tablets live area to work at 1:1. So I'm really using the tablet at 6x9.6 inches. a screen resolution of 1440x900 or 1680x1050 would have the same issue. I'm puzzled at the choice. |
