Conclusion: To hard to use and too small
Review: I got a deal on it but it is to hard to use and to small. Get a larger one!

Conclusion: awesome tablet!
Review: I just got my Intuos 4x5 tablet. I fell in love with it the moment the pen touched the writing surface. It is amazing! I had wondered if I should go with a larger writing area, but I honestly love the comfort of the tablet's size. Since your focus is on the computer screen, the smaller tablet requires little hand movement to cover the screen with images. I am a right hander, so the scroll button and the other express keys are a natural to use with my left hand as I write. I am an educator who uses interactive whiteboard technology and has the need to be away from the board, but able to add to the screen. The Intuos tracks perfectly and eye hand coordination is a snap!!!! My previous pen was an absolute disaster because it didn't track well and I often had a headache after using it. I love the feel of the pen and writing is as easy as using pen and paper. I am delighted that I have invested in this professional quality pen and I highly recommend it.

Conclusion: Wacom Intuos3 4x5 Pen Tablet
Review: The product works great! I have been using it for about a month now and have had no trouble getting the hang of it. The pressure sensitivity is much better than the graphire tablet. I would recommend this tablet to anyone.

Conclusion: A must-have, even for amateur artists!
Review: I love this thing. I've been toting it around in a laptop bag so I can use it at home, work, and friends' houses. You can get the drives online so you don't even need the CD.
Once you learn how to configure your tablet to the right set of pixels on your monitor(s), then you're good to go. It takes a few tries to get used to, like any art medium, but I'm really loving it. So far I've penned several sketches in Photoshop 7, and I've created two fonts using my own handwriting.
If you like to doodle at all and want to pixelize your work, whether it's cartoons, words, sketches, landscapes, design renderings, etc... I totally recommend getting a Wacom Intuos tablet. I wish I'd gone one size bigger, but this one is working just fine, and it's definately easy to carry around with me!
I really wish they would make a nice carry case for it, reinforced, with a place for your pen and pen holder. The one they make is crap, so I'm using a laptop bag, which is actually too big, but better than nothing.

Conclusion: Good starter set, exceptional value
Review: If you are like me, you have always wondered if digital graphics would be fun. This is priced just right to take the plunge. It's an inexpensive starter set, with the latest technology available in a smaller size. It's extremely easy to get started, and comes with the right software (Painter Essentials & Photoshop Elements which alone retail for more than this bundle!)
And not just creating graphics, but editing photographs with a pen is so much easier. I sometimes just use this as a mouse.
A couple of disappointments:
- No driver for working with Gimp
- The software bundle CD didn't work for my Mac. I did call customer support and I was impressed by the quality of the support. (Fast, local.)
Overall, if you are thinking about it, you should get it.
