Upgrading from my much abused, still working Intuos3 (stop laughing), is this the best choice? Large is enticing, the 3's small input pad limits me.

The bigger is the better but even the small ones are great. It is the technology that makes the real most important difference between this and what you are upgrading from :)

I chose to get the smallest size because of desk space in my cramped office and limited budget. I'm actually using it right now. I found I adapted to the smaller pad size really well and can draw freely. So I don't find it an issue at all.

I have only ever used the medium size, but I love it. Perfect. I think large would be too large, but, that's just my opinion. YMMVAnother opinion is I like the 4 better than the 5 and I hope mine never fails.

yes absolutely i have used the 3,4, and 5 and i love the fit of the large intuos 5 GO FOR IT and just do it right the first time

I also upgraded from an older Wacom Pad. I was really worried about size, I knew the small was too small, and thought the large may be to large. I was right, and do think you will also be right is choosing the medium size.

Touchpad is very good. Power cord...well, its long and does the job. Its not designed like Apple or anything. But, you overlook that when you think about that a computer that is 3x more powerful than comparable Apple is 50% less at least. Power cord wasn't considered when I purchasing. :)

Coconut, I'm facing the same decision. Have you learned anything yet that you could share?I'm leaning toward the smaller printer just because it seems less cumbersome, but I'd be happy to put up with the larger bulk of the 5370 if I thought it was better in some significant way. Would love to hear any info about differences in quality or reliability.

Thank you for taking the time to reply. I went ahead and ordered the 880. The reason why I like the Advanced One is because it has so many buttons that you can configure. Plus it looks so slick in the black. Hopefully the 880 can serve all my remoting needs.

Space and budget permissible, I would go with the P163's. I hate to strictly abide by "bigger is better" but often it is the case. That being said, I am still beyond thrilled with my P153's and am a bit sad that I didn't pick up more when I had the chance.

Intuos 6x8 is portable and it should be fine. I see alot of digital artists carrying it and stuffing them into their laptop cases.But my friend who has it broke the thing in like a month (her dad accidently dropped it)so be sure to get the insurance thing and be very careful!

Ghenghis, I appreciate the suggestions, but I can assure you it is not a memory problem - at least in my case. I do monitor my system and have no such issues. I did not have the middle-button problem with any other mouse, nor did I have a problem loading a page using the left or right mouse keys on the particular mouse in question.Again, thank you for the thoughtful suggestions. I hope you have (or have had) a better experience with this model of mouse.

Thank you, B. Finn! You answered the questions I asked in my recent post about buying the i3 vs. i4. Your suggestions about adjusting the sensitivity and Precision Mode are very helpful.

I had played with one at CES, and then spent about twenty minutes going through everything on it at Frys Electronics (their demo unit) yesterday. I ran the windows experience index thing and it scored low obviously, but everything was still a tenth of a point above my current laptop which is no slouch. I run everything on my current laptop, including high graphics needs such as Rhino, Keyshot 2, Photoshop, Etc. with no problems. My point being this tablet is still just i tiny bit more powerful so it should run about anything you throw at it fairly decently. Enough to get the work done for sure

Chinaman, you are the man! You always have great comments and reviews and tips. I read them everywhere, but here you made me really happy, because I've been waiting for the 4G version for long time now. I so cannot wait to get my TouchPad. :-) Maybe it will come out just perfectly for my birthday on the 12th :-)

I dont have that pad anymore, went through a bunch looking for the ONE and ended up with a Logitec M-325.. I still use a pad with my MAC that looks like the pad in question and you use two fingers to highlite a cell or what ever.

This is very helpful. Other discussions have also noted the the SE trackpad does not have multitouch either. I will follow your advice and get the regular nc10, thanks S. Quran!

I've actually had both the 32 and 64. I originally went with the 32, found it was missing Office, returned it, and decided I liked it enough to trade up to a 64 since it wasn't a lot more expensive.To be honest, a 32 is probably fine for most normal office work. If you're planning on adding a ton of apps and games, that's what will make it a bit tight. You can add a 64-128 GB microSD and install everything on there instead, move all user folders to it, etc. which would also work.

I have the Eee1000h. I'm a touch typist with good typing habits, and I find that the keyboard is still slightly cramped. I wouldn't want to buy anything smaller. If they upgraded the HP MiniNote 2133 to use Intel Atom chips, that would be the one to buy, as it's keyboard is full size and very comfortable to type on.

Thanks for the input. I constantly have to tell my kids they can't play with my $2,000 Mac laptop when I'm not there with them and the price is definitely right on these. Amazing what they manage to put in these little things for the money. I decided to go with the 900 since the smaller keyboard will probably actually be easier for them. Found one with the same hard drive as the 904. I hope they can make it last. I know they will love it as long as they do.

Yes. I recommend you this model. I have never gotten any problem even though I have used intuos series for 10 years. I think Intuos 5 and 4 are very similar. If you want to save money, you will have bought Intous4.

I love mine. I use it for business. It''s been a real work horse. It runs all my business programs, etc. I use my ipad mini to remote into it from the field and with the exception of a smaller HDD - upgrade to a bigger one if you are able - I can't complain. I HATE Windows 8 and refuse to support it. When Microsoft no longer supports Win 7 I will be getting a Mac. I'll never use 8 - ugh!
