What’s in the Box
- Bamboo pen tablet
- Bamboo pen
- Pen stand
- USB cable
- Quick start guide
- Installation CD (includes tablet driver and electronic user manual)
Bamboo Pros:
- Small foot print absolutely ideal for on the go work or small spaces
- Very sturdy feeling! Genius tablet felt a little flimsy on my lap, this feels rock solid.
- Function keys up top are quite helpful
- Scroll wheel up top is awesome for zooming in\out great feature to have on the fly
- Pen holder is helpful so the stylus doesn’t get dirty\lost\damaged
- Stylus is comfortable to hold and has a slightly “rubber” feel on the outside easy to keep a good grip
- Stylus comes w/ 2 buttons on the side that have assignable functionality
- Eraser on the top allows you to flip over & erase as you would a pencil
- Nib (tip of stylus that touches tablet) is replacable if need be (good since i’ve heard they can wear down over long periods of time)
- Stylus itself is battery FREE, AND, wireless, doesn’t get much better then that
- Software is amazingly easy to install. Plugged in tablet, threw in CD, installed device drivers, didn’t even have to reboot to use it. (A+ for Wacom having the easiest to install USB device i’ve ever owned)
- Easy to understand configuration software makes it very simple to customize the special function settings and stylus buttons.
- Movement is VERY smooth and fluid, i don’t see any jitters at all while moving.. or drawing (and that’s going through a USB Hub w/ 3 other devices connected to that
one hub, and a total of 5 other USB devices connected to this computer. All but 2 are currently in use)
- I can easily see this lasting me much longer than through my “beginners” years.
- Very sleek looking. (Lets face it looks go a LONG way w/ product happiness) Even the packaging was sleek, very remniscent of Apples product packaging, which in my experience has been some of the nicest in the industry.
Bamboo Cons:
- Small footprint = small drawing surface. Some may not like the smaller drawing surface! (It truly doesn’t feel odd at all especially for a beginner.)
- Although the high gloss finish on top is very nice looking, it gathers dust real quick.
- Pressure sensitivity is only 512 levels it’s slightly noticable but for a beginners tablet no worries.
- Eraser not pressure sensitive
- 2 buttons on stylus are VERY sensitive and they don’t “click” like you’d expect. Just be careful it’s easy to press one and not know it which can be frustrating.
