Wacom Intuos5 Graphics Tablet Review

by Roberto Baldwin 0Comments The touchy tablet

Graphics tablet users are an odd bunch. They’ll tell you how a mouse is a horrible input device. How you’ll eventually end up with a medical device wrapped around your wrist while they draw pretty pictures of flowers and mock up logos with a pen. That love of the tablet inevitably leads them to one company: Wacom. Frankly, there isn’t another tablet maker out there that even comes close--which puts the company in an odd position. How do you upgrade a product that’s already near perfect?

The Intuos5 continues Wacom’s tradition of quality tablets for professionals. With 2,048 levels of input pressure, the tablet can handle the lightest touch to the hardest press of the pen, and everything in between. If you need a single brush stroke that transitions from faint to dark and fat, the Intuos5 delivers. The device features the ability to recognize pen-input angles up to 60 degrees. The pen design hasn’t changed from the Intuos4--its weight and grip are perfect. It’s a great ergonomic design, so why mess with it?
