I was looking for something specifically for digital art and was wary about picking this up seeing how its tailored for office use. However I am very satisfied with this tablet and its ease of use in artistic applications. Its a bit on the small side, but its also a lot cheaper than its bigger counterparts.

I love it! Works great for electronic drawing, painting, and signing your name. Its size is nice, compact and does not take up much space on my desk. I delayed buying for a while, and then took the plunge. I'm glad I did.

I've had the Bamboo for about 2 months now. I bought it for my home computer, but about a month and a half ago my I got a spiffy new computer at work with a really cheap old mouse. I was doing heavy graphics intensive work, mostly InDesign and Photoshop with a little Dreamweaver thrown in too. And my the damned ball in my mouse kept sticking.
So I brought in my new Bamboo figuring I could solve all my problems at once.
For the first month or so everything worked fine. I hadn't used the tablet too much at home, but I really got the feel of it using it for 12-14 hours ... Read More
Rating: - Finally! The Perfect Pen Tablet
I have gone through tons of drawing tablets over the last few years, and they have ALL led to disappointment. I had always thought about getting a Wacom tablet because of its rave reviews, but I shyed away from it due to the higher price tag. Well - the addage is true: "You get what you pay for."
The Wacom Bamboo (small) is just a few bucks more than your generic drawing tablets, but it is EXCELLENT! It is very responsive, comfortable to use, and easy to install. I use it extensively with my graphics and animation applications, and it makes everything easier.
Rating: - Great price, good quality
Works as advertised. Very responsive pen, inexpensive way to get into a tablet solution. I used to use a 6x8 tablet, purchased this for my new Vista laptop. Going to 4x5 wasn't that bad, it is a good compromise in size for convenience.
