Strengths: I am glad i went with the tablet and this size. i find i can be more precise with my work on photoshop cs2. i can't wait to try it out on more projects at work and school.
Weaknesses: there are so many things to try out i don't know when i will have the time to try them all out.
Overall Evaluation: i like the portability of this tablet. i use it between work and home quite a bit. it is easy to just unplug, pack up, bring home and plug it in my home computer. i did not even know this equipment existed until i went to a photoshop seminar. i can't believe i went all this time without using the wacom tablet.

Weaknesses: USB cable is looks weak
Overall Evaluation: Wacom tablet is one great tool to enhance handling any graphic application or web browser. Specially, to draw lines and hand writing lines are this tablet's great strength to show off. Even person like me who don't do any graphic can enjoy this stuff by drawing chinese characters.

Strengths: The ideal interface+ for my daughter who is a serious artist.
Weaknesses: Tiny little nibs- got to keep track of them- a case would help
Overall Evaluation: Easily installed to the USB of the computer, replaces the mouse in addition to adding the pen function. The tablet is light and easy to use in any position. The bundled software makes drawing on the computer sooo much easier and editing much quicker than using the mouse alone. My daughter adds: It r0x, we

Strengths: Very sensitive, perfect size, the control buttons are handy, great for Photoshop CS2.
Weaknesses: I've had a few problems. First, I occasionally lose the communication between the pen and the tablet. I upgraded the driver, and it still happens. On top of that, the drawing surface is falling off.
Overall Evaluation: It's really a great product, and I assume that I am dealing with a fluke product when it comes to my drawing surface falling off. The other problem is most likely just a software issue. I'll have to look in to it.

Strengths: Accuracy and comfort
Weaknesses: Build quality could be ever so slightly better; mouse clicks sometimes do not register; mouse is a little heavy for my taste
Overall Evaluation: I have been using Wacom tablets for a fairly long time -- since about 15 years ago. I have always found the top models to be of very high quality, and very reliable. The last model I was using, a serial port model from 10 years ago, still works reliably. Wacom's drivers have been a little quirky however, despite their innovative features. The Intuos 3 has great button and finger slider switches on both sides which are all customizable. They are a great convenience. The only weakness, which I have also observed on my older model is that, since switching to Win XP, the left mouse click sometimes does not register. Click, but nothing happens. Click again, and it works. Noticing that it happens on all my computers, and knowing that it probably isn't a mechanical failure, I have to guess it is a driver quirk. Depite this shortcoming however, this tablet, with its many features to enable creative work of all kinds, is an excellent peripheral.

Strengths: Great sensitivity, very easy to use, intuitive.
Weaknesses: Poor packaging for the nibs. Lost one in a matter of an hour. Packaging too flimsy.
Overall Evaluation: I can't say enough good things about my Wacom Intuos3 6x8. It's the perfect size. A larger tablet would have meant too much hand movement for my comfort. I had no problem learning how to draw on the tablet while looking at the screen. The tablet is so senstive that it picks every nuance. The pressure sensitivity is a great feature and the included software and brushes are a wonderful plus. I love the fact that I can use the stylus in mouse-mode to navigate my desktop. It's very fast and does a lot to relieve stress on my wrist. I love the fact that the stylus doess't have to actually touch the surface to be detected. It's almost like using a pointer. An amazing tool. I can't wait to see what I can do with this!

Strengths: twice the pressure sensitivity of previous tablets, different nibs to emulate different pen types ie: felt tip marker, ink
Weaknesses: none that I have come across
Overall Evaluation: I purchased the Intuous3 and have found it to be incredibly sensitive to touch - more so than the earlier models, giving me an enormous amount of control. The 6x8 is a great size to work on. I prefer to work on my lap, and it is comfortable in that position as well as desktop. Wacom has excellent customer service as well. I highly recommend this tablet to any professional or amateur photographer/artist.

Strengths: Many lvls of sensitivity. The board size should be big enough to do whatever you need to; drawing pictures or touching up photos.
Weaknesses: None really, if the pen is hard to use, just adjust the settings to your liking such as sensitivity.
Overall Evaluation: I purchased this for improving my artistic skills such as sketching. A little hard to use at first since I have to stare at the monitor while drawing instead of paper. The board has shortcut buttons and a mouse which are good extras to have. As far as I know, this product offers more sensitivity lvls than the graphire which is a necessity when doing digital art. Overall, very pleased
