Wacom Intuos Art Pen & Touch Tablet Black (CTH490AK) - (Renewed)

I have a medium Wacom Intuos Pro and decided to get a smaller, more compact tablet for when I go traveling.Overall I am pleased with the quality of the tablet, it is small and lightweight and the stroke pressure is good. Connection cord is detachable which is good when you need a replacement. Works with current Wacom drivers, overall a great buy especially if you are on a budget and want something nice, consider this instead of the cheaper off-brands.My only complaint is that the pen is not of the same quality as the Wacom Intuos Pro's pen. The pen this tablet comes with is much lighter, smaller and a little thinner so it's taking some getting used to. It also doesn't have an 'eraser' like the pro pen does or the ergonomic shape or grip.This isn't too much of a problem, but you can't even use an Intuos Pro pen (grip pen) on a normal Intuos, which is a shame. They should be interchangeable, the pen is compatible with ALL OTHER current Wacom tablets except this series.

Not sure with this navigation if I'm reviewing the product or the transaction. The seller was great - even shipped on a Sunday, and my item arrived pronto. As far as the Wacom tablet goes: I had a Graphire that I'd used for 15 years on an old Mac G5 (2004). I have a new Mac mini that I use for everything except graphics work. My old comp finally quit for good (luckily I had all my legacy stuff backed up), so had to get a new Pen to use a new Photoshop on my new computer. This one seems to work okay - it has some freaky behaviors that are slightly annoying but I'm getting used to them, and I'm not sure if they're due to Wacom driver compatibility issues with the latest Mac OS's, or if my Photoshop upgrade is programmed differently. Still, this pen makes it much easier to do graphics work that was nearly impossible using a trackpad and my middle finger. I am satisfied with this purchase.

First off, I have to say that the tablet works AMAZINGLY well, and nothing about the physical tablet seems clunky or crowded. Especially loved the extra nibs on the back and the nib remover. Great first tablet for anyone with MANY customization buttons (Which work wonders for me). All being said, I was about to give this product 1 star and return it for one HUGE reason: The driver software. For ANYONE in the future looking to purchase this tablet, DO NOT USE THE INSTALLATION DISC INCLUDED IN THE BOX. It DOESN'T WORK and will leave you extremely frustrated. I spent an ENTIRE 2 days trying to solve the issue. What you SHOULD do is visit Wacom asia's driver website, select your PC type, and hit "Intuos Art"for the tablet type. Download the latest driver from 2016. That should save you a TON of time. Other than that, I am very satisfied with the price, and quality I received.

Don't be fooled in it's small size (8x6.5 in), this wacom tablet does everything that a larger one with bells and whistles does. I just started out in digital art and using this I have already created some beautiful art. As with all tablets, it does take some getting used to, but once you learn the shortcuts -using the pen buttons and the small buttons at the top of the wacom, you will be on your way. Pen sensitivity, is great, the size of the pen fits good in the hand (I have a medium size hand.) I would hesitate to buy a smaller tablet though, but this size has worked so far with me. Good and reliable, not a Porsche, but this wacom tablet will get you started, so that when and if you do graduate to a bigger and perhaps more sophisticated model, this tablet will have set you right. You always will remember your first car!

I got the renewed/refurbished Wacom Intuos Pro since I need something more for being on the go with my laptop.I’m pretty pleased with the tablet as it is light and small with a good stroke pressure. Getting the Wacom drivers to work I had a little bit of issued but just went to the Wacom site an downloaded the drivers and worked fine. The included cable is detachable and at a good length for moving it around. This is definitely better the other cheaper brands I bought before.My only problem is that the pen is light and uncomfortable but other than that it works great and would recommend for the size and the price.

The software that came with this unit did not contain the latest driver and on Win10 did not load correctly.The tablet worked but the unit was recognized as a mouse and the "Properties" page would not display. It would give an error that a "supported tablet was not found".I was about to return it but decided to first try Wacom support. They were great, under their direction I uninstalled all Wacom software that came with this CD, unplugged the tablet, reset the machine, installed the latest driver, plugged the tablet back in and ..... BANG the "properties" dialog was now working.The supplier of these refurbished tablets should include up to date instructions on installing the latest driver. The CD that comes with the unit is pretty much useless.Would have been a 5 if I did not have to call Wacom.

It takes some getting used to compared to using a regular mouse. It comes with a CD to load the drivers and sets up real easy. I already use Photoshop, but it comes with a digital download license of Corel Painter Essentials 5 which was a nice bonus.....and not just a 30 day trial (also comes with a Quick Start Guide .pdf file to view or print to get you going with the program.) For it to be a refurbished product, it sure looked new to me. Absolutely recommend going this route if you are new to this type world. Plugs into a USB port, but you can purchase a wireless kit. I wanted one for photo editing where using a mouse is too bulky to navigate. Save a few bucks and get the same great product.
