Wacom Intuos Tablet Review
Wacom is synonymous with the tablet experience for PCs and Macs, that is how good they are. I first started using their tablets with a Mac many years ago. I have gone through many versions and sizes of their tablets too. And then the iPad came along. I thought Apple would change the game in tablets with a digital pen. Using the iPad did not provide the same experience as what I get with Wacom’s newest Intuos Bluetooth wireless tablet from Best Buy.

Overview
The medium sized Wacom Intuos pen tablet is 10.4” by 7.8” with a nicely weighted and battery-free pen that is capable of producing 4,096 levels of pressure. The Apple Pencil has a battery that has to be recharged and there is no way to replace it without having to buy a new one. That is another positive for the Wacom tablet, you may continue to create without having to worry about recharging a small pen battery.
Wacom’s Intuos tablet comes in multiple colors, has ExpressKeys, Bluetooth wireless connection for PC and Mac, and small dots on the tablet’s surface to assist with drawing. The package offers two software packages from the following Corel Painter Essentials (drawing/painting), Corel AfterShot (photo-editing), and or a 2-year license for Clip Studio Paint Pro (comic/manga) after registering the unit with the company online.

Wacom Intuos Tablet Full View
Its large surface area does not create unwanted input while your wrist is resting on it. The Intuos only recognizes input from the pen, giving you a realistic pen-on-paper feel. A tablet this thin is comfortable to create and enhance whatever you want. Left and right-handed users alike will enjoy its ergonomic design.
Wacom Intuos Tablet In Use
A medium-sized tablet, like the Wacom Intuos, is ideal for creating with multiple or a single, large monitor. My perfect setup is three screens, a wireless keyboard, a wireless mouse and this wireless Intuos tablet. Wireless accessories are the way to go to easily and quickly reconfigure a workspace for creativity.
Wacom Intuos Tablet ExpressKeys
Four ExpressKeys at the top of the tablet are configurable for your favorite shortcuts like copy and paste or undo, right above the creative surface. A Wacom Intuos pen and tablet are a great combination to get creative whenever. I have found this to be the easiest and most friendly to use of nearly all Wacom tablets over the years.
