Wacom Intuos Medium Bluetooth Graphics Drawing Tablet, Portable for Teachers, Students and Creators, 4 Customizable ExpressKeys, Compatible with Chromebook Mac OS Android and Windows - Pistachio

MUCH cheaper due to the color, which I quite like! Watch out if you have a "vintage" Wacom driver already installed. I could not open mine to uninstall it, which the new driver requires before it ca install. I tried several times to drag it to the trash, empty it, and restart, to NO avail. Finally after several volleys of "help" from Apple (useless!) and Wacom (better than Apple) the Wacom tech suggested I download an APP called CleanMyMac and run it. I did, and it actually worked after a three hour scan and cleanup process. It was actually good for my machine anyway, so that's good... The trouble was that the Wacom Bamboo stylus pad I had 12 years ago, long since sold off, ran its driver on 24-bit software. Apple had since uprated the OS to 32-bit software, so I could NOT open the old driver to un-install it! You would think Apple would have provided some tool for this kind of obsolescence they promulgated upon us. Apple cares less and less about us. Wacom is a well-run company and their products, though overpriced, are still the best. This pad is excellent! Wireless lag is very small, and so far hasn't distracted me. I love it!

if you are just starting this might be one of the best choices for you. It worked wonderfully for my 11-years-old daughter, though she required my assistance to configure it and get it up and running. She quickly got the grasp of it, it looks like a very good quality product and it was not that expensive when compared to similar products.

UPDATE: I can't be 100% sure as I tried so many things but the most likely culprit for the incompatibilities seems to have been MSI Center. Uninstalling and re-installing MSI Center seem to have resolved the conflicts. It's been working fineafter the re-install. When working, this is indeed a very well designed tablet. Unfortunately, the Wacom drivers created too many conflicts with my MSI GE78 - As the tablet itself would keep working, it disable the MSI touchpad frequently and keyboard occasionally. Despite spending hours troubleshooting and even doing a full WIN11 reinstall, the problems persisted and got worse. Somehow, I suspect a strange conflict between the Wacom and the I2C HID and the SteelSeries PS2 Keyboard, but what seem to most often trigger the conflict was when the NVDIA RTX 4090 would engage. I tried reverting back to several previous version, all NVIDIA drivers in 2024 eventually brought back the issue. Removing the Wacom driver and software brought my system stable again. Somehow the problems did not appear immediately, so between updates from MSFT, NVDIA over time it just made it increasingly frustrating and a productivity killer. Too bad and now way passed the return window. I would still recommend the tablet if it works out with your system, it just doesn't work with my config.

Hadn't drawn anything in about 10 years and decided to get back into it, except go digital. I bought the medium, which is just a little smaller than a standard size piece of printer paper, and I'm so glad that I didn't get the small as I had originally intended. As somebody that has never used a graphics tablet this was actually fairly easy to get into the swing of things and get the pen going where I wanted it to go. My favorite thing about the tablet is the pressure sensitivity that the pen gives. Much better than drawing with a mouse, especially when I figured out how to adjust the pressure sensitivity and line stability in my drawing programs. Nice smooth lines now, no more wobble! I use my tablet corded because my computer was not built with wireless capabilities, so I can't comment on the bluetooth abilities. However, the cord is long enough to reach my desk from the front of my tower no problem. Took me less than half an hour to get the tablet fully set up, registered, and working in one of the free programs. The website to get registered and get the programs is in the cardboard booklet and the serial number is on the back of the tablet. The only thing kind of negative I have to say about this tablet is the drawing program. Corel Painter Essential 7 is alright, but after a few days of dinking around in it I found it to be kind of lackluster. It's a nice enough program, but is a bit bare bones, and I wanted a little more without dropping hundreds of dollars on their other program. I've really been enjoying using this tablet with Medibang Paint Pro, which is also free and a bit more robust in terms of what can be done in it. So if you're having trouble redeeming the programs that come with the tablet than I would recommend giving that one a google.

The Wacom Intuos Medium is a great choice for both hobbyists and professionals alike. Even though it's marketed to beginners, this is more than enough to make industry level art. I've used a variety of graphics and display tablets from both Huion and Wacom, and I'm switching to this from an ancient Intuos Pro that I've used for a couple years as a concept artist. First the pros. The build quality is solid and I can see this lasting for years. The Wacom driver is still first in its class with the least amount of bugs and gimmicks. The size is perfect and efficient especially for smaller desks. The pen sensitivity of 4K+ levels is a noticeable upgrade from the 2K+ levels I was used to. Cons: The pen. It is very light and though the build quality seems decent, it feels cheap to hold. The nibs wear down very quickly because the tablet surface is textured, and I have a light touch. Thankfully the replacement nibs are cheap. In comparison, the Pro Pen has a thick rubber grip and is weighted well. The express keys are located very awkwardly at the top, with only 4 buttons. This is actually a pro for me since I use a TourBox instead, but I can't see anyone actually using those buttons long term without getting some back pain. Ambivalent points: The price is a little steep so I would wait for a sale. The textured surface is up to personal preference--it's a little rough for me and some people have been annoyed by the scratching sound the pen makes. Overall, this is a great tool for the job. I can see myself using this Intuos as long as it continues working. After using both extensively, I would personally choose a graphics tablet over one with a screen because it allows you to elevate your head in proper posture. It's also much easier to fix or replace and takes up less space. I'd give this Intuos tablet 4/5 stars.

Some learning curve involved but worth it for this price.

I love this little tablet it is smaller and then my Intuos Pro, but for traveling and doing what I do I couldn't do without it. It packs easy travels well and the Bluetooth feature is worth twice the price. The precision of the stylus is pound for pound just as good as the big one.

I’ve used Wacom tablets since the 1990s; needed one for my current setup and with pandemic shortages (and a recommendation) purchased this one. I am disappointed. The good news: it was fairly easy to integrate with my fast Mac setup, and will work in either corded or Bluetooth-cordless mode. The control panel allows easy definition of macros into the four buttons across the top of the tablet. And as always, Wacom designs a tablet that captures movement in both gross, large strokes and in tiny increments. The bad news: Wacom built a great tablet and then decided to cheap out on literally every accessory. The stylus is a round barrel, with little differentiation between the barrel and the control buttons. It comes with a “wrench” (don’t get excited, it’s just a hole) on the end, which you’re supposed to use to pull out a worn stylus tip. And you’ll need to do that, because in light use I can already see the stylus tip has a diagonal slant to it and will soon need to be replaced. Wacom includes a whopping 3 replacement tips, which is really big of them. More bad news: Wacom appears to think that the very shallow tray near the top of the tablet is adequate for stowing the stylus (and keep in mind that a tablet stylus is the ONLY way to operate the tablet). It’s not; even on a flat surface an inadvertent nudge at the bottom of the tablet can cause the stylus to roll out of the indentation at the top. There is no stylus holder or stand or holster included, and apparently Wacom feels so indifferently about this that there is no accessory available from them for this purpose. After working with high-end graphic devices, including from this company, for 3 decades, I expected that there would be a little more attention paid to detail and user experience, even on a tablet like this one. If Wacom ever wonders when the beginning of the end for their dominance in the graphic tablet segment was, they can trace it to the introduction of this tablet. It “does the job,” but begs for a competitor to do it better at half the cost.
