One impression I can share about the Intuos unit we tested was that the buttons on the tablet are particularly satisfying to press.
#WACOM INTUOS PRO SMALL REVIEW PC#
The model we reviewed wasn’t one of the Bluetooth ones but, from what we understand, connecting said pen tablet to your PC shouldn’t be any more difficult than it is with a Bluetooth keyboard or mouse. We plugged the Wacom in, downloaded the drivers, loaded up a compatible program and got to work. In terms of set-up, there’s not much of a story to tell.

Upon purchase of the new Wacom Intuos, users can download creative software, including Corel Painter Essentials 6, Celsys Clip Studio Paint Pro and Corel AfterShot 3. The new Intuos also comes bundled with some free software.
#WACOM INTUOS PRO SMALL REVIEW UPGRADE#
This upgrade to form factor is rounded out by the addition of a built-in pen tray, the four “express keys” mentioned above, an LED indicator (letting you know when the tablet is powered up) and a 60% improvement on battery life for the Bluetooth versions of the range. Compared to the previous models, the new Intuos pen tablet range also features built-in wireless Bluetooth integration on select models, two possible sizings and a trio of colour options. Wacom say all the new models offer the same active tablet area as previous versions but also manage to do so while carrying both a smaller footprint and lighter weight. The biggest differences worth noting here are largely internal and categorical. In other words: it looks (and feels) more-or-less how you expect a drawing tablet to look (and feel). Bearing a quartet of chirpy, rounded buttons along the top-most edge and a grid of white dots indicating the active surface area of the thing, it’s a mostly featureless and minimalist piece of design. The Intuos is a sleek, clean, plastic slate the shade of obsidian. Stylus: Battery-free, 4096 levels of pressureĬompatible With: Windows 7 or later, OS X 10.11 or laterĬolor: Charcoal black, pistachio green or berry pinkĪs far as art tablets go, the refreshed Wacom Intuos looks the part with ease. So, really, who could be better than someone like myself when it comes to seeing how that claim stacks up. It’s being pitched as an affordable and accessible starting point for their extensive range of more-advanced drawing tablet products. With those cards left face-up on the table, it’s worth noting that Wacom are touting the new Intuos as their best entry-level product yet.
