Great for hobbyists who want quality on the cheap!
I'm a broke college student with a digital art hobby. I tried using a tablet before, but i was so cheap and poorly built, it was unusable. The Intuos Draw, however, is my new favorite thing. Like, ever. I'm used to drawing with pen and paper, but I was actually surprised by how easy it was to get used to drawing on the tablet. I've been drawing all afternoon, and so far i have been able to draw with just as much quality as i would on paper.
Technical things I like:
You can hover a decent distance over the tablet and it will still move the cursor ( again, i had a bad tablet that only let me hover a 1/4 inch).
All buttons on the tablet and pen are super easy to map. I mapped them to undo, redo, zoom in, zoom out, pan, and hold pressure.
The nib feels great on the tablet. It doesn't slip around, but it doesn't stick either. Feels kind of like pencil and paper.
The look and feel is fantastic
The pressure sensitivity can be adjusted so it's perfect. Everything comes out flawlessly on the screen with no lag or blots where the sensitivity gets confused at low pressure.
Technical things that are kind of meh :
Occasionally the pen draws out a dot of full pressure. I might be slipping on a button or something, but it's not an impedance because it only happens rarely.
I haven't found this to impact my quality or efficiency, but the pen feels a little light and a little plastic-y. I might just end up getting used to it. The texture keeps it in your hand.
The drivers didn't install right when i ran the installer on the disk, but i was able to easily download them (this was probably an issue with my machine).
Would I recommend this to a friend? YES!
I can see myself using this 70$ tablet for years. 10/10 best tablet for your money.
