This tablet works with almost every software. I got it because I was tired of making clipping paths in photoshop with the mouse. from Amazon.com All I know is that he is very happy with it, and spent the summer working/playing with it. He has not had a single issue with it, loves its capabilities, and treats it better than anything or anyone in the household. The medium size seems to provide a perfect balance between working dimensions and carrying capability. from Amazon.com The Bamboo probably would have been better for a closer replacement to my former Graphire, but I wanted to replace and upgrade at the same time. At the time of purchasing this, the Intuos 3's prices went falling into the dirt, but bad experiences and the weight of the Intuos 3 tablet led me moreso to purchase this. And I'm a graphic design college student, so for me to purchase this tablet at Academic Pricing was something I was more than happy to shell out $313 of my hard earned money for this. The tablet I purchased was priced at $297 and about $15 was for two-day shipping. from Amazon.com After an intense Photoshop job my forearm began to hurt after a thousand mouse clicks. I wear a wrist brace and have the proper chair to monitor ratio but the pain became worse and it got to where I couldn't hold a coffee cup for more than 30 seconds. This Wacom tablet was recommended to me and I couldn't be happier. It automatically adjusts to both monitors and i tap the pen to the tablet instead of clicking the button on the side. from Amazon.com I could ohhh and awww over this thing just like everybody else, but we all know it's an outstanding product. However, I was a little disappointed with Wacom's progress since the early versions of Intuos. * It is still jumpy in Adobe Illustrator CS4 if you use quick motions. from Amazon.com It's the Intuos 4 tablet! The best bang for your buck if you're a graphics person. from Amazon.com I have been a self-employed graphic designer since 1996. I bought my first Wacom tablet in 1997. I used it until I replaced it with a larger Intuos2 in 2001 (although the first one still worked well). from Amazon.com This is the subjective review and opinion of one person however, it's likely I'm not alone and therefore I hope others with similar needs will find it useful. Before I chose the Intuos4 Medium I read just about every review there was at the time. From what I gathered the most significant differentiating features were the 2048 levels of pen pressure sensitivity, and the programmable OLED buttons. from Amazon.com i can't stand using a mouse and find it hard to understand (with no offense to anyone!)why any graphic designer would use a mouse when the pen and tablet give so much precision and control. from Amazon.com it's not that the tablet doesn't live up to the hype; i still feel the reviews i read singing it's praise were accurate. from Amazon.com
