Pros & Cons
Pros
Wacom is a reputable company, of course, but i had only had their very small version tablet in the past. It works seamlessly with the software applications i use. It always works better when it's plugged in.
The large model feels like moving around a sketch pad having the larger size. The lcd display is nice as it shows you your shortcuts in different programs. Great tool, works together with photoshop to process photos. I love these new shortcut hotkeys ... Read More
Cons
Main problem with the tablet is it shoddy construction. Pen tips don't last, and worse of all, the pen captor are very fragile. Wacom blames microsoft.

Highlights
Quality
Bought this one used, the wear is very minimal and consistent with the sellers description.
I've never had issues with the tablet - it works seamlessly with the software applications i use.
Be very careful how you handle the tablet with the cord plugged in.
The pen on the other hand, i must add to be very careful with.
Shipping
I wrapped it with shipping tape, and it works very well.
Packaging/appearance
The outer area of the surface looks smooth, shiny and untouched from the nib.
Competitiveness
I have used this for many years, which was finally replaced by a cintiq.
A real upgrade in every aspect from my antique intuos 3.
That, for me, is one failing in these intuos tablets.
I've learned--the expensive way--the difference between large and medium.

Because it requires a cord to plug in to the usb port of your computer the contacts eventually wore out

Lucky this tablet comes with 2 outputs but in time they will wear out making the contacts loose so it may occasionally disconnect and reconnect interfering with your work
