Wacom Intuos Medium, black pen tablet

I bought this for someone who is a hobby user of Adobe Photoshop Elements 2023. She was well above basic skills but below that of an a confident intermediate user. I think this is a level that a lot of users of photo manipulation software users get to and stay at when using a mouse to produce their more creative work. This specific Wacom Intuos drawing tablet has increased her confidence and skills exponentially in the 5 weeks she has been using it and she is turning out some seriously impressive and imaginative Photoshop images. The software is straightforward to install on a good quality, up to date laptop which has a decent amount of RAM. The stylus is light, accurate, comfortable and the size of the working area is spot on. I am seriously impressed with this tablet. Yes there are cheaper, smaller tablets but making the jump to this one is well worth it.

I'm a designer and I purchased this tablet to create hand drawn lettering. I did consider the screen GFX tablets but felt that was going to be overkill. I opted for the non-bluetooth versions and saved around £30, since I didn't trust the responsiveness and expected latency. For the same reason, I do not use a wireless mouse. The build quality is good. The button are firm and 'clacky'. The pen is light but seemingly good quality. Drawing on the tablet gives a slightly feel of friction and scratchiness, but this is a good thing. It feels like the two surfaces bode well with each other. It doesn't feel like a thoughtless rough, plastic on plastic. The tablet connected immediately to my 2015 iMac. There's 4 buttons at the top, each can be assigned a function using the software which you need to download. so too can you assign functions to the 2 buttons on the pen. So far, I've only assigned undo to the tablet itself. Pressure sensitivity (something which I oddly forgot about) was surprisingly effective. There feels like no movement in the pen nib or the tablet and literally works by 'squeeze'. IAt default, it's not too light nor strong. I spent a great deal of time experimenting with this and I produced some satisfying results. The pen position on the tablet is relative to the screen, so you can't attempt to reposition the cursor on the screen elsewhere with the pen on the same spot as the tablet. The 7 inch diagonal area of the tablet represents the actual areas of the screen. so if you want to go to top right of the screen, you will always have to move the pen to the top right of the tablet. This means that there is quite a bit of arm movement. With that in mind, a graphics tablet (of this type) would never replace my mouse, since a mouse requirement minimal movement, however the tablet has a definitive and effective use in my graphic design work. Recommended!

It was great, right until the Bluetooth button stopped working entirely. It doesn't light up at all when pressed, nor when pressed and held. It happened only after a year to a year and a half of use. So now it's still working, but with the cable only, which is annoying. Other than that, it's still a great and reliable product, just as expected from Wacom.

Good entry level tablet, not punching above its weight but very good value and not the worst learning curve

I'm rather enjoying using this graphics tablet. Having had a Wacom Bamboo previously this was a natural upgrade path. As expected from a Wacom tablet it works incredibly well, accurately, and responsively. Being wireless is also a massive plus being able to hold it in one hand while scribing with the other, I get a more comfortable view of what I'm doing on screen. The Bluetooth connectivity seems to be good contrary to the medium tier review tag. When turning on the tablet it takes about 3 seconds to connect to my computer, then ready for use. Didn't have any problems pairing it up to Windows 11 Pro either. The only thing I would have like to see different is the charge port being type C USB instead of micro type B, just for durability longevity and the reversible direction wire. For a 2020s era product type B USB is just archaic.

The bluetooth version can be use wirelessly or connected using the USB cable included in the package. other than the software that were suggested for downloading, it can also be use for other programme such as adobe photoshop, onenote for note taking and many others are also supported. The tablet can be seen as a replacemtn of a keyboard and the pen is a mouse. Once get use to the feeling it is very simple to control. The pen nib can be wear out quite quickly if you draw a lot but there is 3 replacement nibs included which will last for a long time. Extra replacement nibs can also be purchases with a reasonable price. When i draw, i tape the nip of the pen so it doesn't wear out too quickly. and it doesn't feel much difference from not taping. The screen synced well with the table without delay and everything run smoothly. I am a tatal beginner for using graphic tablet and i found this tablet very friendly for beginners. For the free software i chose Clip Studio Paint and Corel Painter Essential, CSP works fine and looks professional but Corel Painter Essentials was unable to download on my macbook as it was not supported by mac version 10.12.6 which is a bit disapointed. Overall this is a very nice graphic tablet, easy to carry around but needed to connect to a laptop/computers before it can be used. It is very suitable and friendly for beginners like me and i highly recommend this product.

Bought a pre-owned version, came in very good condition and worked very well, smooth and has really good touch-sensitivity. I highly recommend this tablet if you're looking to create quality art, set-up is very easy just needing to download a simple bit of software (link provided for Mac and Windows) and just a simple restart. The pen is nice to hold and easy to use, I highly recommend this :)

It's decent but had connection issues with my computer, responsiveness was bad. Didn't use much after that, I think it's better to invest some more into a drawing tablet with a screen.
