After trying with various PCs and various drivers, I came to the conclusion that this tablet doesn't work. The mouse pointer jump on all the screen, the tablet is crazy, and make rare commands, very annoying behavior. Don't buy, keep your money and add a few more dollars to get a wacom 6x8, trust me.

Don't buy it.

As long as you already know how to use software like Corel Painter for example this tablet works great. If you are a first time user I suggest getting information on the software. The tablet itself does not come with instructions past pluging it in to your computer. I am using the Apple G5 with the tablet and sevral software packages for art and design. Good Luck and keep drawing.

This is a bad business move on part of Adesso. Not only is this tablet ANCIENT, but Aiptek sells the exact same tablet (sans an Adesso logo), over on their website, for $79, instead of over $100.

Don't buy it here, buy it there. As for the product itself, though, it's not that great. If you've never used any other tablets, you could get used to it, but between me and a friend, we've gone through a couple of these, and they are simply not that fantastic. I'm going to try genius tablets now. And if those fail me, well... I'll return it and get a wacom. 30 days is more than enough to know if a tablet works well, and although I have a sneaking suspicion that wacoms are over-hyped, over-priced tablets. They're real nice and all; I've fiddled with a few, but I just can't see spending $600 on a table that's the same size as this one, when this one is $79 somewhere. I mean we ARE still ultimately talking about the same technology.

With electronics and most things, you get what you pay for. I bought this hoping it would be a suitable replacement for a Wacom tablet. As aN artist in the field, I guess I demand more from a PC tablet than most. So with that said, this tablet is horrible. Pressure reading and drawing long strokes in CS or in Painter cause it to lag. Maintaining a constant pressure also seems to be a difficult task for this tablet as well. The unit also just feels cheaply built and the pen is trash. It feels really fragile and the pen "tips" it uses wear out extremly fast.

The bottom line is, if you're just an average joe PC user who wants a tablet for his PC, this might work for you. If you're an artist who demands quality and perfect execution from your tools, run screaming away from this. Pay the extra for the Intuos, you'll thank me later.

This product does what it's supposed to do. I use it as an electronic whiteboard.
