Tracking is incredible. I can write as fast as I can and it keeps up no problem. I can even (unfortunately) see the same little wisps of lines digitally as I do when with a real pencil I don't lift the tip completely before moving to a new letter....

The process of finding and downloading the freebie software was a bit cumbersome. You had to go to some minimalist sites and enter your included redemption code. It was a bit unnerving to read basically that if you don't get all the downloads you want...

The tablet is physically well laid out and designed. The radial menu, sub menus and key binds allows for the user to make this as simple or as complex an interface device as desired. Its huge, I thought a large may be too small for me and almost...

The tablet is large and will have a degree of flexing to it. I like my electronics to be strong with metal, even if that makes them heavier. For perspective, I'm 210# and often end up sleeping on top of my MSI 660GT laptop but this tablet would be...

Beautiful tablet and very user-friendly. Large enough to use your shoulder as you draw and even for as big as it is, not very heavy at all and very comfortable to set in your lap.

Had to restart the tablet once to get touch response working again. My pc runs 24/7. Responses from the pen have not been affected when this happened.

people that knock off an egg for packaging, just kidding. Mine did come double boxed, and the outer box was about twice the size as the original packaging, there was also a lot of paper stuffing for protection.

Anyone reading this probably already knows that wacom products are great. The 'large' provides plenty of surface area and the 2048 levels of sensitivity is very noticeable upgrade compared to previous versions. I am very pleasantly surprised with the...

The only reason this doesn't get 5 eggs is... The packaging! I was shocked to see that this was shipped in only its branded packaging. For almost a $500 tool, I expected it to be in a proper shipping box with some bubble wrap. The box arrived all beat...

This tablet is amazing. This is my first wacom tablet and it definitely wont be the last. The quality is amazing, and it works great. Free bundled software is also very good. Im using mostly in Illustrator CS5 for drawing, and so far its been perfect....

The only thing I can think of is that it's pretty big, but at the same time you probably know that since you ordered the large one =P
