Product Description
The Intuos3 tablet is perfect for photographers, designers, artists, illustrators, digital camera owners, high school and higher-education students. The patented, pressure-sensitive pen and hassle-free ambidextrous mouse (with no ball or optical parts) are both cordless and battery-free. The included, valuable software bundle (worth about $200) makes Intuos3 an exceptional value.

 CUSTOMER WARNING : Beware of refurbished units selling as new. August 20, 2008
Have several Intuos3 tablets, and the device itself is really good. Some issues with MacOS X drivers were resolved two months ago.
However, this is not a review of a product. Be warned that some sellers are selling refurbished units as new, and not marking the difference, either in price or shipping. My latest purchase involved a refurbished unit, and seller refused to ship a non-refurbished one.
I love Intuos3. But beware of misleading sellers.

Comparing 2 wacom Intuos3 6X8 tablets
My daughter and I were searching for the best tablet for graphic art. The wacom Intuo3 6X8 has the highest recommendation. There are two versions. It was hard to find the difference in the two. They both have limited lifetime warranty. We chose the this product; the PTZ630 because we did notice a huge difference in the software bundled they come with.

Great tablet! July 27, 2008

This tablet has so far worked flawlessly for me, and I've had it for over a month. While other tablets I have used have often lagged or frozen, this one has been working smoothly since I opened the box.
For a serious art student studying illustration and animation, this has been a perfect solution for my needs, seeing as I don't have the money to spend on a Wacom Cintiq.

Graphics tablets, if they work at all, will save your wrists and make many programs much more functional; I do not think that this Wacom should receive 100+ 5-star reviews simply for being a tablet. To be sure, it is a good tablet and I have been pleased, with a couple of caveats.
The build quality is only mediocre. The wireless mouse started acting up after about 4 mos. and would not register clicks. It is not very durable. More annoying, the entire balance of the tablet is determined by the placement of four little rubber strips that are glued to the underside -- that glue, something akin to mucilage -- will eventually weaken and then the little rubber pads will tend to slide out of their slots. When this happens, the tablet is unbalanced and it starts "giving" and squeaking. They have to be constantly realigned and not only is this annoying but eventually loosens the overall structural integrity of the tablet. This might seem like a relatively minor gripe, but a tablet as expensive as this should not suffer from anything of the sort.
Should still buy this tablet? Probably. But Wacom shouldn't cheap out on such a critical component.

Most have already covered what a quality tablet this is. I am loving mine also. I've also replaced my daily mouse and mousepad to save space. The only gripe I have about the mouse is that with a normal mouse, I can have my arm/mouse at an angle, move "back" and the mouse will move down on the screen, however on this tablet, it would move sideways and down. Since there's no "eye" in the mouse, it only moves according to the location on the tablet. It takes some getting used to based on how I personally used a mouse, but it's no big deal.
Another thing to note is that the 6x8 pad autocalibrates to your monitor size for the pen so if you put the pen in the corner it will be at the corner of your screen, if you lift up and put it in the middle, it will be in the middle of the screen. The mouse however functions like a normal mouse...so you can lift and move it and the cursor will stay in the same place until you actually slide it over. This is my first tablet so that was an interesting peculiarity to me.
Also, I got a refurbished 6x8 intuos3 from adorama for half the price (well 169 free shipping no tax). It's refurbished by the factory and is packaged and looks exactly like it would brand new. You can't tell the diff except for the refurbished sticker on the box. At that price it's an absolute steal.
