Customer Reviews

CUSTOMER WARNING : Beware of refurbished units selling as new.
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 PTZ630, PTZ630AC
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!
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.
