You would like a graphic tablet but find it hard to decide which one .

In order to help you pick the right one for you, I suggest you read our guide-lines

  • For the less experienced users:


We would recommend The Bamboo line and the wireless Pen Tablet .

It is mainly aimed at the home users looking to do some creative work . By using a tablet , you can get the degree of control which you would like , you get the feeling of drawing on paper as it gives you a kind of a natural feeling as if you “are doing the real thing”.

Bamboo tablets are great for creative activities, from sketching to scrapbooking to photo retouching. They also offer a unique opportunity to integrate handwriting with digitized documents.

  • For the Experienced users :

Intuos 4 is ideal for students and for the more experienced users such as photographers, web-designers and artists.

Intuos 4





The Intuous 4 is a graphic tablet which comes in four sizes: small, medium, large and extra large.

It is designed for both professionals and serious home users and allows maximization of productivity, comfort, usability and control for every task.

The tablet is a pointing device, and works like the mouse. It comes with an electronic pen that operates on top of the tablet. With this tablet you can create illustrations, web graphics and banners in addition to editing digital photos, create animations and even use all the office applications. The tablet can actually replace the mouse.

Graphic tablets are a popular option for digital image editing and other graphics where a mouse does not give you the degree of control that you would like or need.

Wacom has once again re-invented the wheel with the new version of intuos 4.The new Wacom premium tablet is an appealing mix of hardware and software refinements. With a Sleek design , the tablet itself went through a major makeover. Its smart reversible design is for both right and left handed.In order to apply with the wider HD format , with active areas of 16:10 aspect ratio intended to match the screen of modern cinema displays.

The Express keys are now sensibly grouped to one side .There are some new keys such as radial menu, info and Precision mode.Pressure Sensitivity: Is the reason people buy a tablet . The pen now reacts to just a single gram of pressure It now has 2048 levels of pressure in comparison to 1024 in Intuos 3.Illuminated Display:With the new Led’s you can see exactly what’s programmed.The display updates instantly when you change applications.Scroll Ring: lets you speed dial through zoom levels and brush sizes.The touch Ring can be programmed to zoom and scroll, change your brush size in photo shop, or as a scrubber wheel if you edit video.No more touch strips .The Grip pen has also been redesigned . A rubberlike finish along the bottom half of the pen helps you keep a firm grip.It has been updated with new Tip sensor technology which enables you smoother, more precise strokes. It is ergonomic and comfortable.

Verdict:Put your old Intuos 3 on ebay or pass it on and buy an Intuos 4.It feels like a pencil on paper and certainly is not as slippery as the intuos 3 ).New users and experienced users will both fall in love with the product.
