 The best entry level graphics tablet around November 5, 2008
S. A. Fox (South East England)
I've had graphics tablets before, but this is by far the best entry-level tablet I have ever used. It was easy to install and set up and I was able to adjust the settings to give me the exact functionality I wanted without reading the manual. I am very pleased indeed with the ease with which it can be used and the substantial gains I get in speed and accuracy over a mouse and also over other tablets - I can get an illustration or animation complete in half the time. I have had the tablet for nearly a year now and it is still working perfectly.
I would highly recommend this product to anyone who would like to try a tablet for the first time and to anyone else who would like a really decent basic tablet at a very good price. It's great - a really super piece of kit!
Bamboo? I think you mean WOOHOO! October 27, 2008

I'm a graphic designer working mostly in vector design, so in adobe illustrator. Recently I have been getting more and more into Photoshop, and I had bought a tablet about 3 years ago maybe a little more, it was the small 20 Trust tablet. What a mistake that was...
I struggled by with the trust, until I completely abandoned it. I really wanted the flexibility of working with the tablet, but knew I wouldn't really use it enough to justify the larger price tags.
So being a tightwad I struggled by with my mouse, while entering endless competitions to try and win a tablet of decent quality. Knowing that Wacom were the industry standard I stumbled across the Bamboo and decided to take a chance. The price was unbelievable, and as the industry leader I thought that it must be a solid enough option for me to use on a daily basis.
When I received the Bamboo, being a designer I enjoyed the packaging first... Inspecting the product the tablet itself is very solid; it grips very well to the desk. As one review said, the surface isn't completely smooth, but I feel this gives a little friction that helps you rather than hinders. That said, it runs very, very smoothly.
The pen is extremely light, and at first it does feel a little cheap, but once you start using it its very comfortable to hold and works very well indeed. The buttons do seem a little breakable on the pen, if you hold the pen up in the right angle you can almost get the buttons to fall out a little, they don't really have a great button feel either. But again they do work well.
The software provided is brilliant, art rage, although it isn't Photoshop, is great for non-pro and my kids love playing on it. (Yes the tablet is sturdy enough to let the kids have a go!)
Bamboo Scribe is an handwriting recognition alternative to your keyboard, and it works really well - even with my scrawl and spelling problems - although for long documents, and this review, the keyboard is still king.
You also get a voucher to download 1 free software package, although I have not looked into that yet, I think its a choice of 2 packages of software. There is another voucher for 50% off a software package as well.
In Photoshop the pen pressure works wonderfully, and the pen is accurate and a joy to use. Obviously there is no tilt detection that you would get on more expensive models, but for what I need, tilt is not needed...
If you have never used a tablet and want to get one to start you on your way, get this one. If you are a graphic designer and would like to start using a tablet, this is also a great place to start. If you use a large tablet in work or have used one of the higher priced ones before, you might find this one a little disappointing - but it would be great for a cheap portable alternative.
This is a very strong product, and a steal for the price. Get it.
Hope this has helped...

Excellent piece of kit September 14, 2008

This is a really good addition to a graphcis programme (I design and make greetings cards), which is why I bought it - but it is so much more useful than that! It replaces a conventional mouse in a very user friendly way and is a lot more comfortable to use too. If only it could make a cup of coffee......?! Easy to set-up and customise - it really is a 'Plug and play'. The Artrage software that comes bundled with it is a cute little programme - good for kiddies and adults. All-in-all great value for money and as usual Amazons service was brilliant.

I bought this initially to plug into my ASUS - Eee PC 701 4G blue (UK version) (I know it's supposed to be a challenge to get it working on Linux). The A6 size seemed perfect for mobile computing but the actual tablet is quite a bit bigger (195 x 197 x 11 mm). Don't fancy lugging it around so it's on my home PC running XP. Using it as a mouse was a bit awkward at the start. The mouse mode was all over the shop so I kept it in pen mode but you have to move your hand to get at the lower right portion of the screen. Changing the tracking area on the tablet solves this but when you come to drawing you'll want to change it back for more precision. Works perfectly, does the job, could have been more portable.
Do you already have a GRAPHICS PROGRAM? July 5, 2008

Great first Tablet BUT, if you already have a graphics program I would consider the regular Bamboo. It only comes with trial software, but looks like it might be a slightly better product (it has a stand, and navigation buttons?)
This is the advice that I wish I'd had!
However, if you are looking for a package with a simple fun graphic program then this one is for you! :)
It's really a lovely little product, and so much better than a mouse!
