Great!
This pad is reasonably priced and nice and big. I use it for online math tutoring and love it.
Not the Best, but still good
Here are some things I'd like to say regarding...
It's compatibility with Vista: The tablet works with Vista, but take note that the programs in the CD do not ALL work with Vista. There's this program where you can write directly onto word documents. However, this does not work on Vista. So you're pretty much stuck with programs where it "freezes" the whole screen for you to write on.

Their software is out of date so you need to go to their homepage and find this ... Read More
Mac users, beware
Notice that the good reviews come from windows users.
I got this as a birthday present. Unfortunately, even though the product claims to support Mac OSX, it really doesn't. Here is my list of problems:
* The CD included is ANCIENT. Forget the free software, the CD does not contain the mac versions.
* Even the most recent drivers from their website are bad. They mess up some permissions and upon installation and reboot, you need another reboot to fix them.
* It is NOT compatible with INK. That means, forget the handwriting recognition, unless you have some other program of your own.
* The pen works as a mouse (after the painful driver installation), but the pressure sensitivity feature ... Read More

I bought this as a gift for my adult son whose hobbies are sketching and photography. He said it will be useful both at work and home. Its an amazing tool and I'm thinking about getting one for myself.
