5.0 out of 5 stars great value, April 25, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Wacom Graphire2 4x5 Graphics Tablet (Bronze) (Personal Computers)

I have used a drawing tablet for years, by another company. Now that I have OSX on my computer that tablet is virtually useless, unless I boot in OS9. I was not planning on buying a tablet until I saw the price on this one. Unbeatable!

A great product, with great extra software too!

I was hesitant about the size, but once you get use to it it is great!

5.0 out of 5 stars love the options and transportability, May 14, 2003

This review is from: Wacom Graphire2 4x5 Graphics Tablet (Bronze) (Personal Computers)

I own the Wacom Graphire2 4x5 in the silver color. The Bronze color sounds very cool while the silver matched my 1" thick Titanium Powerbook (Mac) perfectly!. The price was right-on for a transportable option to the little square "mouse" on my powerbook and the teeny tiny red button on my friend's PC laptop.

No matter what platform you are on, as long as you have USB connection this product will fit in your case as you transport.

I am a computer graphics pro and art director and use this tablet with my portable mac, plus at my workstation with 23" monitor. I love the versatility of the pressure-sensitive pen in Photoshop & Painter software. The cordless mouse option is a MUST when I am giving presentations.

Buy it and LOVE it..
