“Pros: Beautiful design, great feel. New buttons, TouchRing, and Radial menu are useful additions that let you drive a huge number of functions from the tablet.
Cons: No way to access menu items using the Mac driver; no way to share settings among multiple machines.”

“The new Intuos 4 is a strong upgrade to the Wacom lineup. The ability to work well for left or right hand users, the OLEDs, Touch Ring, and increased sensitivity have made this new tablet into a must have for the serious artist or photographer working in Photoshop. It’s pretty darn useful in other applications with handwriting support, including Mac OS X and Vista too.”

“If you’re the type of photographer who feels more comfortable with a pencil in your hand than a mouse, the new Intuous4 tablet is a vastly improved digital palette from Wacom that will get you making Photoshop edits like a true artist. But if pen tablets were never really your thing to begin with, you might find you still don’t have room in your life for this well designed though somewhat intrusive editing peripheral.”

“Less-expensive graphics tablets are available from other manufacturers, but Wacom is deservedly the leader in this field. Wacom’s advancements in technology, technical support, software features, and longevity as a company are unequaled. All in all, I feel the Wacom Intuos4 is a significant improvement over the Intuos3, and while it’s not quite perfect yet, this fourth generation brings it mighty close.”
