What's great about it: everything about this was a hit, was a gift for my daughter she can't stop playing with it.
What's not so great: can't say anything bad about it
I got this as a birthday gift for my 30 yr. old daughter, she is thrilled with it. The only complaint she has is it is so great she can't stay away from it so she gets cramps in her hand from using it so much. best gift ever.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Does everything I expected from a tablet.
What's not so great: More on the expensive side. Hard to get the hang of at first.
I love my tablet, it's amazing! The Art Rage program that comes with the tablet is pretty good also, though it is complicated to get a hang of all the different art tools. I had Photoshop before, and Art Rage is surprisinly similar.
With my tablet, I had major buyer's remorse after I bought it, but when it got here, I just fell in love with it! It's definatly the perfet tablet for beginners.

What's great about it: reasonable price, easy to learn
What's not so great: tips wear tablet surface too easily
I had been without a tablet for several years and when I finally decided to pick up a new one, this seemed like a good idea. It had some pretty decent reviews and it was similar to a model that a former friend had really loved several years ago. So I picked it up, got it installed... And fell madly in love with it! I've always loved wacom products, and this one is just as great as any of the others. It's got a wonderfully sleek design, can be set up for lefties or righties, and I really love that the green ribbon tab holds the pen in place when not in use. =) The only thing that makes me a little sad is that the surface is already starting to wear out where I draw the most apparently. Really though, I don't mind it. I think it's a great tablet and I'll definitely be purchasing another when the time comes that I've killed this one with over-use!
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Easy to use very cost effective
What's not so great: Pen is easy to lose.
The product is excellent for the price. Fine enough for photo editing without breaking the bank. Only complaint is that the pen is easily lost. A leas or lanyard would be very useful.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Light, good size, easy to install
What's not so great: Learning Curve, menu button placement
This is my first tablet, and I have really enjoyed it so far. The stylus works well, but there is a menu type button that is kind of frustrating. The pad itself is a decent size, but I would imagine as you get more accustomed to using one that you may want to go a few sizes larger. The learning curve can be difficult, especially if you are casually using it, but they have a few different modes that you can go into that can help with understanding how to use it. I looked around at a few options, and I felt that I could not go wrong with this one as opposed to some of the competition tabs. I had heard some poor things about it working with iOS, but so far mine seems to be working just fine.
I would say this is a great starter tablet if you feel like doing something a bit different.

What's great about it: Accuracy; similar to pen and paper; great price; great software bundle
What's not so great: It's a bit small, but it does it's job alright
I decided to buy this product after reading its reviews, because it seemed to be a great quality graphic tablet with a very good price. And in fact, it is! I loved it from the moment i got the box (it's so cute!), and it feels a lot like real pen/pencil and paper. It's great to do sketches with it because it has good pressure sensitivity so you can draw freely without messing it all up. It also comes with a good software bundle, Sketchbook Express is in fact very good for sketches, and ArtRage feels like painting with real ink, so fun! I have no complaints about it so far, and I would recommend it to anyone, specially beginners in this digital art thing like me.
I would recommend this to a friend!

For a desktop pen setup this works great, comes with bonus software. My only gripe is that with my laptop the aspect ratio of the monitor does work too friendly with the input.

Took a lot of skill and time to download the bundled software.
Maybe it should be on the startup disc.
