Wacom Bamboo Graphics Tablet Review

The Bamboo represents Wacom’s latest attempt to bring graphics tablets into the mainstream as opposed to the professional market, where graphics tablets are already well-established. As well as the silly name it’s riding heavily on the back of Vista’s built-in support for features such as digital inking, virtual sticky notes and handwriting recognition to get itself noticed.

And in the world of consumer graphics tablets, this is certainly up there with the better models. It’s nice and compact with a 147.6 x 92.3mm drawing area and a desktop footprint about the size you’d need to operate a mouse comfortable (200 x 186mm). It’s nicely built and designed too.

..It may not be the cheapest consumer graphics tablet on the market but it is the best looking and the addition of the touch ring really does make it a viable alternative to a mouse – if not permanently, at least to give your wrist something else to do.
