Wacom Bamboo Create Pen Tablet (CTH670) List Price: $199.95 Sale Price: Too low to display   Eligible for free shipping! Availability: Usually ships in 1-2 business days

The new Bamboo models are thinner than the previous versions and have been redesigned to allow digital artists to work with maximum comfort whilst also allowing them to be creative at the same time. There are 4 buttons on the Bamboo Pen and Touch that allow you to turn the touch facility on or off, right click the mouse to bring up the contextual menu in which ever application you are using and bring up the "Bamboo Dock" application. The buttons all work well - after all, they just need to "click" and they have been textured slightly so you can easily determine where they are when drawing or holding the tablet.

Installation

Installation is no problem. In fact, when I plugged this into my Mac, it worked straight away with no need to add additional software! I did install the application from the CD though as I thought it would most likely add extra stuff for Adobe products. On a Windows PC, I would expect that you would need to install the drivers before anything could happen. The provided USB cable is nice and thin too, which cuts down on the bulk of the device. Next to the USB connection on the tablet is a small cover than can be removed to add a wireless (bluetooth) connector if you want to be totally portable from your Mac or PC. This would only be for comfort really.

Software

The Bamboo Dock application allows you to install small "apps" to use with your Bamboo tablet. These can range from simple games to full blown painting and drawing apps, such as SumoPaint, which is free on the Mac. I guess this is Wacom's idea of their own "App Store" and I expect they make some cash from it somehow. To be honest, I usually have this turned off when drawing, but I can see the appeal for some users. As with other graphics tablets, you can turn it around to be a left handed version if you want. When you install the drivers and software, it will ask for your handedness and assign itself accordingly.

Pen And Touch

The pen itself is the usual Wacom design and is light, easy to use and features 1024 levels of pressure sensitivity. Flip the pen over and Photoshop turns the selected tool to the eraser for you - very clever stuff. You also get some replacement nibs too, as I will expect that they will wear down over time. The tablet surface has a slight texture to it too, probably to allow some kind of feedback whilst drawing. My only complaint would be that the pen has to be very close to the surface to be detected. I am sure this was not the case with an older Wacom model I had back in 1998. When you are not using the pen, it slides snugly into the small ribbon tab at the end of the tablet - perfect if you are using it at home with little children around who like to play!

The touch feature is very handy and was not something that I would have thought I would have used, but I am glad I opted to buy the model with touch added. When working with Photoshop, for example, you can draw, then use 2 fingers on the tablet to pinch (resize) or pan around the document. Very handy indeed! Saves you fro reaching for the mouse all the time. You can also use the panel as a touch interface for all other operating system commands on a Mac, so you can flick through photos with your finger and stuff like that. If you are thinking of buying one of these tablets, then I suggest you spend that little extra and choose the touch version if you can. It all feels very natural if you have used an iPad before.

Should I buy the Wacom Bamboo Pen And Touch graphics tablet?

To conclude, the newer models of the Wacom Bamboo range are excellent, cheap, funky graphics tablets that deliver 100% of what you would expect from the leading manufacturer in this area. Although not as good as the Wacom Intuous range, or as "professional" as the interactive pen display models, this tablet is perfect for the home user who is interested in photo editing or digital art. The quality is solid, the design is perfect and you will find yourself creating digital masterpieces in no time at all. If you don't mind spending a little more money, the Wacom Bamboo Pen And Touch graphics tablet is the perfect choice.

Wacom Techno Cintiq 21UX 21-Inch Interactive Pen Display PC Tablet With Pen and Software List Price: $2,299.00

The new Cintiq 21UX from Wacom is another triumph in their excellent line of pen tablets. This new model brings all of the latest technological advances in tablet innovation and delivers it all in a solid package that will let digital artists, designers and creatives draw, paint and write without restriction.

The 21UX features 2048 levels of pressure sensitivity and allows you to rotate the display by 180 degrees in each direction too. The LCD display area is bright and responds well to the stroke of the wireless grip-pen, which has also been refined and is very comfortable to hold and use for long periods of time. To rub something out, simply flip the pen over and begin to erase - the same as a normal pencil. This erase function also allows the use of the 2048 levels of pressure, so making minute or subtle changes is easy.

The tablet stand is totally adjustable too allowing you to incline it between 10-65 degrees. The stand also allows you to quickly unhinge the panel section totally and use it on your lap, or how ever you feel comfortable. The panel did get a little hot during our (brief) test, so I am not sure that having it resting on your legs for long periods of time would be a good idea.

As with the other Cintiq models, the 21UX has an array of quick-access keys and selectors around the edge of the bezel. This makes them very easy to access with your spare hand and they are fully customisable too. If you need to scroll around a document, you can hold the relevant button and then move the page with your pen. After a while, this gets very intuative and natural. You can also use the touch sensitive touch strips for quick zooming, scrolling or adjusting the size of your brush or tool. Unless you are used to using a tablet that has these kinds of additions, they may seem a little gimicky, but they will soon become essential to your productivity. Each strip has an LED that lights up to tell you what mode it is operating in and they are very easy to use.

Wacom supply the usual excellent drivers and software and this interactive pen display is compatible with PC and MAC too, so there are no issues to report there. Once you have registered the tablet online, you are able to download lots of software demos for the major products from Adobe or Corel. Although this cuts down on the items in the box, it may be a pain if you are not connected to the internet.

Tooya Pro Graphics Tablet Review For Mac and PC

The Penpower Tooya Pro digital graphics tablet has some great features that you would expect from a more expensive manufacturer such as note taking, handwriting recognition and a 2000dpi screen that operates with 1024 levels of sensitivity. The active area of the tablet is 10 x 6.5 inches, which is more than adequate for most peoples needs, but the tablet is also available in a larger 12 x 10.1 inch version too for those who feel they need it. The tablet does not suffer from any issues when we tested this model and it worked perfectly in apps like Photoshop, Microsoft Office and Adobe Illustrator too. It felt snappy and the response time and cursor tracking was good as we had no issues with it at all.

The tablet is compatible with Windows Vista, Mac and Windows 7 and comes with a great bundle of software including the excellent Photoshop Elements 5 and Photo Express 5. You also get the tablet, a wireless pen, a pen holder and the software I have already mentioned.

Wacom Intuos4 Wireless Pen Tablet List Price: $419.95 Sale Price: $365.00 You save: $54.95 (13%)   Eligible for free shipping! Availability: Usually ships in 1-2 business days

The tablet will work at a range of up to 10 meters (33 feet) from your computer and still give you the option to plug in via USB if need be. It also charges the batteries in the tablet whilst USB connected too, so no fiddling around with replacement AA's in the middle of your latest creation.

As with the other Intuos4 pads, the new wireless version features the touch ring to let you quickly select options or applications as well as OLED enabled buttons that display quick access features, right at your fingertips.

With this new model, Wacom have raised their game again and I expect we will see no more physically tied models apart from the lower end Bamboo Fun type products. Being able to sit with the tablet on your lap makes total sense and will help traditional artists move to a digital medium.
