Strengths: 6x8 drawing area is "just right", cheaper than the intuos line.
Weaknesses: Only 512 levels of pressure sensitivity, but I didn't notice a difference. The mouse is unnecessary.
Summary: After selling my old intuos 1 4x5 tablet, I decided to upgrade to this 6x8 graphire. Although it took some getting used to, the larger drawing area is much better. With my old 5x4, I had to zoom in to add any significant amount of detail, but because the 6x8 size I can work with larger picture and still add details.

I was worried about the decreased levels of pressure sensitivity comparted to the more expensive intuos line of tablets, but I really didn't notice any difference.

One thing I am confused about is the inclusion of the mouse. Most people probably already have a mouse, so including one in here that probably would not be used by many is rather wasteful. I would have rather it not be inclused and the price reduced.

Strengths: Lightweight, versatile, works great right out of the box after installing the CD
Weaknesses: Handwriting recognition doesn't work that great, somewhat hard to adjust to using the pen... different from using a mouse
Summary: I just bought the Wacom Graphire4 6X8... a great investment so far. I have trouble with both of my wrists... suspected carpal tunnel but really tendinitis from typing and mouse clicks. The pen is great and I'm trying hard not to use the mouse at all. Once you get used to it you can really maneuver well on the screen although I'm having trouble going between using the pen and typing. Since I'm primarily going to use this for word and excel I wish that I would have bought a smaller version because I would have to move my hand and wrist even less - -I thought bigger was better.

Has some really cool features including flipping the pen over to delete and has several customizable buttons on the pen and tablet itself (haven't fooled with it yet). Also has a great feature of being able to write and make comments directly into a PP presentation.

I'm happy with my purchase thus far!

Strengths: come with a nice box; easy to install; beta driver on their site full support vista RC1; control/setting is easy; work better than I expected; detailed instruciton/manual
Weaknesses: maybe a little big ?
Summary: It will be a good start to experience tablet on a desktop. Very nice product, well designed. The mouse coming with the pad has a good hand feeling

Include software: photoshop elements, corel painter 2, ...

I strongly suggest to give a try
