Just got it today; if I can’t pawn it off on one of my co-workers it is going to have to go back. I wanted a larger touch surface area than my MacBookPro’s touch pad, and one that I could sit back and use the pen when in more of a creative mode.
Pros: It is a larger touch pad and it has a pen…
Cons: Surface texture is not comfortable, buttons are awkward, tracking is slow and less accurate than touch pad, and it only supports two finger multitouch gestures. Multitouch doesn’t work especially well, especially forward and back. There was a 2-3 second delay in registering. After unplugging it, Finder crashed on me, so I have a feeling the mac drivers aren’t quite up to snuff.
The pen was a complete disappointment for general use. Anybody getting the “pen only” version is making an even bigger mistake.
I guess I am spoiled with the Mac trackpad. I’d love for it to get pen support and/or be available as an external track pad to better meet my needs, but this product just isn’t there.
First Wacom product in 15 years, so I could have given it more time to get used to, but it just didn’t offer much for me.

I like its possibilities, but the product didn’t deliver its promises. A bit disappointing, but I am keeping mine still because I see some values in using it when I need more precise control over the movement of the cursor when I annotate pdf files.

This touchpad seemed to work well, but instead of listing all the features I am going to keep this short. You can read about all the details of this touchpad in the product description. I would give it 4 to 5 stars because it did everything it claims. However, I returned it because it just did not work for me. So, for my own personal use I can only give it 2 or 3 stars. Of course, a lower star rating is not fair to the product because it did perform as advertised.
One of the problems I had is that I have a laptop and sit in a recliner. The touchpad just did not fit well on the chair arm. However, if use it on a desk then the pad is nice and large and would work much better. Another problem I had was that I had to hover my hand over the pad because I did not have enough room on the chair arm to rest my hand. Here again, it you use it on a desk then you have plenty of room to rest your hand.
I think this pad would work great for most users provided you use it in a place where you have enough room.

I ordered this tablet recently and just returned it for a refund. The hardware seems to be well made; however, its software driver is another matter. Not only the performance of the touch and pen is sluggish at best, the driver manages to crash many of my programs (MFC based, I am a software developer.) The Wacom driver seems to negatively effect the existence of windows’ handle, causing the program to crash intermittently.

First I want to organize this review by talking about its separate features and usability.
Here are my specs:
Windows 7 OS (I love it! - Windows XP convert)
Sony VAIO VGN-SR290
3 GB of RAM
2.26 GHz Core 2 Duo P8400
Integrated Graphics
Multi-touch (4/5): It works. But a bit choppy, I think, because of no browser or software truly utilizing the zoom in and out feature for smooth transitioning. I used safari and it was choppy too. Internet Explorer was a pain and Firefox was ok. Well, it works, I guess.
Pen (5/5): It takes some time getting used to. I am a mouse user, so using the pen took time, but upon hours of practice, it works fine. During drawing with Paint and other Adobe drawing tools, it’s great. I really enjoy it. The precision could be better, but this isn’t a multi-hundred dollar tablet, but this is great.
I won’t mention the features because there’s no point. If you bought this, you bought it because of the pen tablet and it works great.
Mouse replacement (4/5): It’ll definitely take a while, but sometimes, you don’t need and 8 x 6 touch pad. hehehe!
Overall (4.5/5): The price is great. The product is slick and solid. There’s really nothing more you can ask for, besides a bigger tablet. If that is the case buy the multi-hundred dollar one. This is the best tablet for the price and for the use. Even professionals can really appreciate this product. You don’t need such a giant and precise tablet. If you want to be so detailed, then zoom in to 500% then! That’s what I do, when I need more detailed drawings.
So, buy this. BUY IT NOW!
