Cyber Tablet- Adesso - L. Munz, Jun 28, 2009

This tablet is very fun to work with. You can annotate digital pictures and just draw pictures to send via e-mail. I would recommend this to anyone who loves to draw, doodle or write.

Good pad, crappy pen, crappier mouse - Gary Green, Jun 13, 2009

Daughter is graphic artist and is very happy with this product. The pen is very cheaply made and within 90 days had to buy replacements (sold on the web for 9.99, so we bought two and paid shipping once). Mouse was cast aside from day one as it tends to interfere with the operation of the tablet (making the pointer jump around, etc).

great for the price - Asher A. Humm, May 21, 2009

I did my research and I love this thing. Sure it's not a wacom but who can afford a decent sized wacom? I love the size of this plus it has link option up top so you can select a program, internet, e-mail, or open, close, and save right from your tablet. awesome! the mouse doesn't work well. the pen needs a battery so no eraser. probably the only downside and what a minor one. also the tablet can't sit close to a crt monitor which I have. But with it I can lean back and work so again who cares?

Cheaper at Aiptek's webpage - Zero, Apr 17, 2009

This is a bad business move on part of Adesso. Not only is this tablet ANCIENT, but Aiptek sells the exact same tablet (sans an Adesso logo), over on their website, for $79, instead of over $100.

Don't buy it here, buy it there. As for the product itself, though, it's not that great. If you've never used any other tablets, you could get used to it, but between me and a friend, we've gone through a couple of these, and they are simply not that fantastic. I'm going to try genius tablets now. And if those fail me, well... I'll return it and get a wacom. 30 days is more than enough to know if a tablet works well, and although I have a sneaking suspicion that wacoms are over-hyped, over-priced tablets. They're real nice and all; I've fiddled with a few, but I just can't see spending $600 on a table that's the same size as this one, when this one is $79 somewhere. I mean we ARE still ultimately talking about the same technology.

Cheap wanna be Wacom - Rhea Lewis, Mar 13, 2009

With electronics and most things, you get what you pay for. I bought this hoping it would be a suitable replacement for a Wacom tablet. As aN artist in the field, I guess I demand more from a PC tablet than most. So with that said, this tablet is horrible. Pressure reading and drawing long strokes in CS or in Painter cause it to lag. Maintaining a constant pressure also seems to be a difficult task for this tablet as well. The unit also just feels cheaply built and the pen is trash. It feels really fragile and the pen "tips" it uses wear out extremly fast.

The bottom line is, if you're just an average joe PC user who wants a tablet for his PC, this might work for you. If you're an artist who demands quality and perfect execution from your tools, run screaming away from this. Pay the extra for the Intuos, you'll thank me later.
