Summary: Perfect size/Perfect Deal at Amazon
Review: The 6x8 Intuos2 is the perfect size for your desktop or laptop. Wacom finally did right and released a neutral color version for those with a sense of style--and let's face it, all artists do! Honestly, the plastics of the pen and the tablet doesn't look or feel like a nearly $300 piece of technology, but it works like a dream. The mouse with the scroll-wheel only works on the tablet itself, a fact that I didn't realize when purchasing it. The mouse really doesn't fit my tastes for handling and is sluggish, but nobody buys it for the mouse anyway. Pen and tablet are great. Those wannabe artists can really expand their talents with this tool. Invaluable.

Also, Amazon has the best price and shipping options available without a doubt.

Summary: For Digital Artists, as essential as a body part...
Review: The Intuos2 is WELL worth the expense, if you are planning to be/are already a digital artist. Now that I own it, I cannot imagine how I ever got along without it. At first I had doubts about
1) whether it would be comfortable to work on,
2) whether I would be able to use it with a stylus comfortably and
3) whether I would be able to switch to mouse mode just like a regular mouse,
4) and most important of all, whether this would be significantly useful to me as an artist. The answer to all these is YES. The pad is slightly elevated, but has the same comfort as if I were resting my arm on a table. Using the stylus (pen) is great when I use Photoshop, and after just ordering Painter 8 this is really coming in handy. (For those of you who haven't ordered hardware or software yet I recommend buying a bundle of the Intuos and Painter with a discount if possible, Painter is an awesome program) I ordered the 5x8 inch version. Drawing with this was strange at first, but I got the hang of it after practicing for a bit, and it was like a LIBERATION from the mouse, which used to make my right index finger numb and sore from constantly clicking. the pen us completely customizable, which I take advantage of in Photoshop and is VERY helpful in drawing, makes things much quicker. the mouse was set to a weird speed at default after installing, but the control panel was self explanatory and I got the mouse to move like my old one in a matter of seconds. (I was a middle schooler who was ok w/computers when I installed it so trust me this thing is very easy to set) I use the pen for drawing anything on the computer now with ease, but I also use the mouse a lot as it is more convenient to move across the board when not drawing. Basically, if you are an artist, you MUST buy this, I gaurantee you'll feel like you grew a new arm once you do ;)

Summary: Great Product
Review: This is an excellent product. It is a lot of fun to use. It was very simple to set up and the included software was very easily installed on my PC with XP Home edition. I had thought about buying the next size up of this tablet, but after receiving it, I am glad I chose this size. It is very easy to manage on and around my desk. It is the perfect size for your lap. The quality of this product is excellent. The price at Amazon is lower than what I paid for mine. I am very happy with this product and look forward to the time that I spend using it. I would recommend this for anyone who loves to draw and have fun.
