Perfect drawing tablet for artists and designers!
I've been looking to purchase a new tablet to replace my 6-year-old Wacom Bamboo Fun tablet, and I'm really happy that I got the Intuos Pro Medium. The size of the active area (which is where you draw in) is perfect for me and it doesn't too big nor too small. I also like the sleek design and the soft grip on the pen which makes it significantly more comfortable to use over a long period of time. The only issues I found so far is that the wireless kit battery only seems to charge up to 97%, so the light indicator never turns green to show that it is fully charged as it was mentioned in Wacom's demo video. Also there are times when the tablet will lag when I'm using the wireless kit. This doesn't happen too often though and all I would do is unplug and replug the USB bluetooth, or just use the USB cord instead. Despite those minor issues, the Wacom Intuos Pro still deserves a 5-star rating for being an incredible product. If you're interested, I also made an unboxing video of the tablet with some additional info and comments on this product on my blog at http://www.jecamartinez.com/wacom-intuos-pro-unboxing

Excellent tool for Photoshop and other artsy stuff
Bought this tablet after watching multiple Photoshop tutorials where the instructor used this tool. Using the pen and pressure sensitive tablet rather than a mouse allows the user to have better control over the media and to apply better dexterity to movements, actions, and strokes. Sensitivity and actions can be controlled and refined through the tablet's software, as well as settings within the individual apps you use it to control. Soft keys on the tablet, as well as the dual switch on the pen, can be customized through the tablet's software as well. This tablet can be used direct wired (thru USB connector) or wireless using a small USB wireless sensor. Battery life is good and doesn't require constant charging. This is my first Wacom, and I purchased the large tablet, but I think that I could have gone with a smaller size and would be just as efficient.

Great, can go pro on it sooner or later if needed
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.
