Last week I was just about to pull the trigger and order the bluetooth Wacom Intuos 4 tablet that I’ve been wanting for a while when I noticed two things. One, the tablet that I had added to my cart at Amazon showed as unavailable. And two, after finding a different vendor that did have them in stock, the price had dropped like a stone.
When electronics do that it’s usually because a new version is coming out, and that’s what it meant here. A little searching brought me to the Wacom Intuos 5 tablet
Biggest “oh Wow!” for me is multitouch. The tablet acts like a giant track pad and supports multitouch. Don’t know that it’s enough for me to ditch the trackball, but I can see myself reaching for the trackball a lot less.
The 5 also sports an option wireless adapter instead of a separate medium sized wireless like the Intuos 4 line. And as it works out, the wireless medium tablet is the one I was planning on getting.
So now it’s just a matter of pulling the trigger and finally replacing the terrible cheap Adesso tablet that I’ve been using.
