Got this as a Christmas present for my teen who is extremely artistic. Give her any drawing medium, and she could create things that won awards at local contests. (She drew pirate ships with sails and waves and fish in the sea the first time someone gave her a mini-etcha-sketch). Had a little extra Christmas $, plan was to give her a tool that would give her something better than a small mouse pad to draw digitally. Looked at all the tablets/touch screens, but the Wacom was custom designed for this sort of thing. Came down to Pro or Touch, and what size. Seemed like for $100 more, we could get something that would let her grow up to a professional level, and medium seemed the right size for most everybody with normal size monitor screens. When we got it set up, she drew for 6 hours straight, totally intrigued by all of the features that allowed her to express things she couldn't reproduce before with a mouse, and she still has only covered a fraction of what it seems capable of. From all the reviews, this is a professional's tool, and I see why after what she has created. It doubles as a huge mouse pad, comes with a whole bunch of tips for the stylus, operates wireless which has been very useful, or by USB, and only charges via USB, which makes it very portable. She doesn't do any photo retouching (yet), but reviews seem to suggest it is great for that. For some odd reason some of the trial software wouldn't install on her computer (but would on another with same Windows 7, but less RAM, go figure), which didn't seem to matter, because all the software it "comes" with is just 30 day free trial. She downloaded some drawing freeware and is in 7th heaven. Even windows paint/draw she loves, the tablet just makes it that much easier. Setup was simple enough, but if you aren't tech savy, you could get hung up, not the most intuitive plug and play device, even opening the battery slot was a bit odd. My wife and daughter and other kids had trouble figuring it out, I got it running in 10 minutes, but I totally see where they got hung up, directions are sparse. Overall, very glad we went with the pro model, the medium size and the Wacom vs. all the other tablets.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Can the Intuos connect to the Internet?

Via wi-fi for example? Also I was wondering if you can download online programs/software to use in the Intuos such as Manga Studio. I know there is the Intuos Manga, but I like the bigger screen sizes from the Intuos Pro line.
As far as I know, the Pro tablet is not a computer in it self, think of it as a huge mouse pad (which it works very well as). So it has to connect to a laptop or other device. I believe the Cintique model is a stand alone tablet much like a big Ipod, but bent totally toward a professional artist. You might check that out if you are looking for a stand alone that you can take anywhere without need of a laptop. But it is quite a bit more $. I do not know much about the Intuos Manga, but the Pro can be used with any graphic software you could install on your computer. We downloaded a free Manga software trial to our laptop and the Pro works it like a charm. Hope that helps.
