Microsoft Tablet Stylus

It's perfect for Adobe Photoshop or illustrator; my Photoshop work is way better now that I have a stylus & tablet.

My Intuos 4 finally stopped working after many years, so I decided to replace it with this Intuos BT-M. Setup was easy, and and the tablet works well, as expected. There are a couple of minor differences that I will need to get used to. The first is that my palm frequently rests half on the surface, and half off. There's not really a border around the edges. Just personal preference, but it would be nice to have a little more room on the bottom for the wrist. The other difference is that the stylus is much thinner and lighter than the Intuos 4 stylus. This is not necessarily a bad thing, depending on preferences, but I kind of miss the more substantial feel of the previous stylus. I may try to find a grip that might help the feel/weight. Of note though, I'm quite sure I'll get used to this one soon enough. But, I still give it 5 stars, because these I'll get accustomed to the differences, and the tablet works great. Stylish, too!

I'm an amateur photographer, and I am not an illustrator. I have no drawing talent whatsoever. Still, I read about tablets and how they can make photo retouching easier even if you're not an artist. I figured this tablet was perfect for an amateur like me. I was not disappointed. I've used it to retouch a few photos. It's true what I read: Once you try one of these, you don't want to go back to using a mouse! It's so much more natural to "brush" with the stylus in the shape of the are you're trying to clean up. The driver software is very good - it integrates well with Photoshop and allows you to define the buttons on the stylus and on the tablet to do a wide variety of things. The 4,096 levels of pressure sensitivity are plenty for my needs - I'm well able to adjust the brush size "on the fly" this way to control light retouching versus more intense retouching. I'm sure an artist can use it to get a good range of light brush strokes versus heavy strokes. This was well worth the money. It's perfect for those who want a pen tablet but who are not professionals or who have a tight budget. I'm an engineer by trade which means I do a lot of textual work so for that I go back to the mouse. But it's nice to know I have the option to use the tablet for more than just photo retouching.

This is an excellent product that replaced an older, smaller Wacom tablet I purchased years ago. I was pleasantly surprised to find the new Intuos was easier to use and more responsive with the included stylus. This model comes with the wireless package although for me, I still use the USB cable to my Mac. I have completely eliminated the mouse for all my computing needs. It took me about a month to get completely comfortable using the stylus/tablet but the effort was well worth it. I love the pen pressure for brush sizes and opacity. I am no Photoshop expert but the Wacom has made post-processing more efficient and faster. This will only improve over time as I get more experience. I highly recommend the Wacom tablet.

It's the worst but what can you do? I'd rather pay through b&h than straight to microsoft.

Actually already have this through Microsoft but another year of it is awesome!

I am very happy with this computer. Microsoft makes transferring everything a breeze.

Never disappointed with Microsoft product

Excellent computer, far better than any Microsoft based computer that I have used

Love everything about it but not happy about Microsoft charging me every year !
