It's been hijacked by the kids! November 27, 2008

To be honest I umm'd and aah'd about whether to buy a small Wacom or a larger Aiptek for the same price. Would I, as a newby to the tablet world, really notice the difference in quality? All I can say is this, I have barely had a chance to find out because it's been hijacked by the kids. It's so simple to use (once it's been set up and callibrated by an adult) that even a five year old girl uses it as if it were paper and crayons or felt tip pens. I've yet to do any real art with it myself but the pressure sensitivity gives such a range of effects with different brushes in Painter that I am confident it will meet my needs. One small gripe is the buttons on the pen, a little tricky, but maybe I just need to get used to them. My son hasn't touched the hotkey buttons or zoom wheel and I barely have either. The cheaper Bamboo one would probably suffice for most people and definitely all children. Bottom line? Buy it, it's "fun".
Bamboo Fun - Linux User October 26, 2008

I am a long time computer user in need of a solution for the gradual onset of RSI as well as improving photography manipulation via the Gimp. My current set up is Linux Ubuntu, Hardy Heron. br /I had a few concerns regarding about setting up the tablet on Linux, having read many threads on the process required, but decided to take the plunge. br /Setting up the tablet on Linux was not simple, but with so many useful pages to visit I eventually managed to get up and running. br /Wow. Why didn't I do this years ago. I haven't touched the mouse for three days and what a difference. The pain in my forearm is now a distant memory, even after such a sort space of time. br /Photo manipulation is awesome. As mentioned above, I use the Gimp, and it works like a dream. Have been busy doing some post processing, and it is so much easier. It has always been a struggle to select areas of photographs with the mouse. With the tablet it is a breeze. br /I would recommend this tablet to anyone with the same problems I had.
Take the tablet and feel better April 19, 2008

This is the first tablet I have used and it is making life a lot easier, as I have problems with my muscles and using my hands so the mouse is now almost redundant. The "artrage" software is a lot of fun and easy to use, so all in all it has been an excellent buy.

Bought this as i started doing a bit more work with adobe illustrator and flash, and was finding drawing with the mouse really annoying and tedious. I got it today, and i havnt even used the mouse since! takes a little while to get used to, but i find i can do tasks so much faster :) Navigating round the desktop is so fast and i have done more animation today since i got it than in 2 weeks :) Works out of the box, but installed the driver anyway. The zoom pad at the top of the tablet is an excellent feature and the other keys are very useful. Works excellently with all applications ive tried, inc. flash CS3 and Illustrator cs3. The A5 screen is more than big enough and the stylus feels good (a good size and weight). I have only had it for a day so far, and this is my first tablet, so things might change but i would definately recommend so far.
