Rating + 5 I like it :)


Pros: It's really easy and simple to use. Very easy set up. Once you get it calibrated, it's awesome.

Cons: None that I can tell so far :)

Other Thoughts: I love it. This is my first tablet, and I could've gone WACOM, but .. call me cheap. I didn't want to spend that kind of money. For 50.00 you can't beat it. It's a really great product. The product was here in No time and it was delivered right on time. So far it's a really great buy :) Can't wait to shop newegg again :D

Rating + 2 Good and Bad


Pros: Good price for a good tablet.

Cons: Driver compatibility with Wi-Fi

Other Thoughts: This tablet worked fine on a wired connection but had a major conflict with a D-Link Wi-Fi card that pegged the processor. It seems that poor drivers are the reason. Too bad, because otherwise this tablet gets 4-5 stars.

Rating + 4 Worth The Price.


Pros: Easy to use.
Quick Setup.
Simple Usage.
Sits well on Unflat surfaces.

Cons: You may have to press the stylus down a LITTLE hard in "Open Canvas" programs.
Also the dual monitors and vista problems.

Other Thoughts: For my first tablet, i gotta say it is/was quite worth it's price. I enjoy it and it's quite fun to use and i think it looks cool. The macro buttons on the top are easy to customize and the stylus feels right in your hands. I recommend it for a first time at least.

Rating + 2 terrible drivers


Pros: Cheap way to get a feel for tablets. Tracks decently.

Cons: Mac driver is unspeakably bad. Also the design of the pressure sensor makes it hard to press down without accidentally moving sideways.

Other Thoughts: Seriously, don't install this on a Mac if you want your system to remain usable. I've gotten rid of most of it with a lot of digging, but I still can't shut down or sleep.

Rating + 5 Great!


Pros: I've never used a tablet before, but this one is giving me a great first experience. Driver Installation is a snap and I could jump right in. The pen is comfortable, drawing smooth and easy lines in Paintshop, though the button seems a bit useless unless you remap what it does.

Cons: Other reviews say it does not support dual monitors or windows Vista. I have neither, but it's something to keep in mind.

Other Thoughts: A very good tablet for casual artists like myself. It beats the heck out of using a mouse.

Rating + 3 Good for the price


Pros: Cheap and functional.

Cons: The drivers have no option to map to a location on your screen, so you'll need to disable multiple monitors and it can be hard to work on small scale things. I could not find any 3rd party drivers that worked for it either.

The pen gets stuck on for me on occasion and will write even when not touching the pad with the sensitivity at lowest setting.

Other Thoughts: I have never used another graphics tablet, so I have nothing to compare with, but I believe that a better set of drivers would make this product MUCH better. I'm kind of surprised that they don't have some basic option of mapping the tablet's output to a region on the screen.

If I were to buy another, I'd go for a better brand now that I know I actually like having a tablet.

If the drivers were better, or there was a 3rd party alternative, I'd give it 5 stars.

Rating + 4 Looks more Champagne than pink...


Pros: Good price and real decent size. The dimension might not make it sound to large but it is a good comfortable size.(Make sure you have the desk space for it.) It's responsive and works in Photoshop perfectly. I'd recommend it to anyone who is new to tablets or on a budget.

Cons: The color is Champagne, I can't imagine it matching any computer or desk. Pen buttons are awkward, but functional. And the drivers are poor.

Other Thoughts: Does exactly what I need. I was hoping for better multi-monitor support but it works fine. I don't see it replacing my mouse for regular activities.

Rating + 5 USB Tablet


Pros: Ease of use and installation. Visually appealing and functions better than I thought it would.

Cons: Where the button is placed on the pen makes it difficult not to push it while drawing.

Other Thoughts: Great product and a good price overall.

Rating + 5 Working Good


Pros: It was a very easy install and not to mention quick. Responsive and it replaced the mouse.

Cons: I suppose that it would've been nice to be able to edit what type of action the tip or point of the pen could do.

Rating + 5 Simple and Works Great


Pros: Simple design; good functionality; decent size; great price.

Within a short time, I was able to draw comfortably in photoshop. Better than I expected in-fact.

Cons: The pen button is slightly awkward, but still useable if/when you need to.

Other Thoughts: This product was what I wanted, an effecient tablet without any useless frill added. It is a good buy.

Rating + 5 Amazed


Pros: I was looking for a tablet for along time. I work with Photoshop 7 and 8. I saw this only had like 5 review, but all were excellent. The other ones were poor reviews or $xxx+ and at $xx and free shopping it was worth a shot. It was so worth it. Easy to install and well my first tablet and I knew how to use in 5mins. This thing is all it and everyone said, it is amazing and for the price can't be beat. Thanks newegg onces again. I got it in 3 working days as said also.

Cons: it rocks my socks off

Rating + 5 Incredible


Pros: Wonderfully made, flawless compatability with photoshop
Vista drivers on the way!

Cons: Color I guess, not a big deal, will probably buy a bigger one next time

Other Thoughts: I am so happy with this, I can do things 10x faster in photoshop and do things I couldnt do before. After upgrading to vista, it only worked like a mouse, so I emailed them, sure enough, a vista driver is being tested and will be released in march. Incredible....why pay for a wacom when this is available. A+

Rating + 5 Great Lil Tablet


Pros: Doesnt look as pink as the picture. really more of a light adobe color. Installation was a breeze on win2k. Tracking is very smooth and the hotkeys are very useful. Has a transparent cover to allow you to place a picture underneat to trace

Cons: the buttons on the pen are a little awkward.. kind of hard to press.

Other Thoughts: Overally great item... best buy for the price. I'd buy it again for a friend. And as always newegg provided super fast shipping!
