Wacom Intuos Widescreen Tablets, Which Size? Which size makes sense for that size laptop?
999267
Im using a MBP and a 4X6 tablet right now...and am going to take back the 4X6 beacuse it is too small and feels "jerkey" to me. It is only about 1/4 the size of your laptop, so a small move becomes a pretty big one onscreen. You may have different needs, as I am using mine for CAD (yes, they are *wonderful* for CAD), so keep that in mind.

The one I purchased was a 32 GB Surface Windows RT (according to the box). I only wanted a small capacity tablet for reading Kindle books, accessing email and the internet on occasion. Cannot tell you if this is satisfactory for running videos, films, etc.

Hello. I have both the Intuos3 and Intuos4 larger tablets. I have found the Intuos4 is a lot more convenient in that the key setup you can create for a specific program displays on the tablet. I had virtually the same set-up for a program like Photoshop CS4, but with my Intuos4 I don't pause and think, "What does this button do again?" It's right there. That alone for me is worth the price.But I got my Intuos4 in exchange for a laptop and docking station I wasn't using (bought a better laptop).I would say if you have a choice and the money, get the Intuos4. I have no regrets. I use my Intuos3 on my other, smaller computer, but only every now and then, and then for nothing too major. Hello. I have both the Intuos3 and Intuos4 larger tablets.

Bamboo Capture. It was my first tablet. I got it 5 years ago and it's still fully functional through all the years of wear and tear. It's not a huge one, but it's a nice size for beginners or hobbyists. The pen pressure levels aren't too bad either. It comes with two free art programs for Windows and Mac.

Hi. I returned my Wacom Stylus because it would not work despite the Wacom info that said it would work. BTW, My Tablet is an Asus vivoTab. I will say that I was very disappointed with the purchase mainly because it was so hard to even find the website for tech questions. Also, the contact for questions never returned my emails regarding my issues. As such, I would say that there are better choices than Wacom.

I've never had the small, only a medium and a large. It would depend on what she wants to do with the tablet. For the purpose of art, bigger is better.

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!

I don't know anything about the HP Pavilion X2 10.1 or its dimensions but it sounds like most tablets around 10 inches of screen, unless it's an iPad, don't fit very well in this.

Hi, I bought this item. Make sure that the model is listed as CTH 661. If it is, the total size of the tablet is 9"x13.5". The drawing area is about 5.5" x 9". Big enough for my digital painting needs, and I have 2 monitors side-by-side. I hope this helps. Cheers!

Yes this is the exact same device as from the Wacom page. Be careful to choose which size you really need. The price difference can be enough to change your mind. Unless you are using this to do full page art projects in Photoshop, etc. stick with the Medium or Small size.

I would have to say yes, although I'm just an art student, so I'm still in learning, however, even so, I do like this tablet. Especially because of the smaller version of the big 24hd. As an art student, I have to carry it for work to school and back, so it's perfect for me. Even for home I simply love it. It's comfortable to work on it on a table, or on your lap, or however you want. Good luck with your choice! :)

I use 2 23" touch wide screens and was worried myself. Honestly couldn't be happier with the unit once all the tensions were set right. We'll worth it. I can stack them one above the other or side by side with ease. Sometimes I use them like a laptop with one screen upright and the other below more flat like a keyboard. Just make sure your desk/table is strong enough.

I use it with my mac and it works with every program I've used, but if you are going to get a Yiynova tablet I would honestly suggest getting the larger one, the 10.1 in screen is terrible for working in programs like Flash and Paintool SAI due to all the tools.

I guess an owner of that laptop would be a better answer but as for me I have a TOSHIBA Qosmio X505-Q892. It has an 18.5 screen. It's tight but I can zip it with an iPad in the same compartment. I think the Asus has a 17.5 I guess it depends how they measure it. I originally got it because this was the only laptop bag big enough for my laptop. Not sure if that's helpful or not.

I have a related question. My primary use for it would be to read technical PDF files (with equations and color figures). The screen size at 10.1 " and 1000x600 resolution seems quite good, but I would like to know if anyone has compared it to the HP Mini-Note which has a 1280x768 resolution, but at a 8.9" screen size.

Well any Wacom Tablet can be used, and so can a few non Wacom tablets as well. If you want value the Wacom Bamboo Splash CTL471 is a good fit, however it lacks any customization buttons besides the two pen buttons. the CTL471 will run you around $80 but I got mine for $64.24 here on amazon. Now the next model up, the Wacom Bamboo Capture Pen and Tablet CTH470 will run you about $100 ($83.24 here on amazon at the moment) and it comes with 4 programmable buttons which can help you in the long run. It is also marketed more towards photo editing and comes with Photoshop Elements (its a older version, but Photoshop Elements 11 is $100 by itself so you're getting a deal.) So I would go with the Wacom Bamboo Capture Pen and Tablet CTH470 for the most value and to start you off for what you want to do. I bought the Splash because I want to use it mostly for drawing. Still, any Wacom Product is idea for photographers in my opinion.
