Artists! Has anyone used this and had space enough for a cintiq or wacom tablet along with keyboard and mouse? Is it at a comfortable drawing height?

not sure how big those tablets are but it all depends upon how/where you position your keyboard. if you put it up on the top shelf with the monitors there should be plenty of room on the large shelf below. i'd strongly recommend using a wireless keyboard and mouse as it will give you the most flexibilty on moving them around or off the desktop whenever needed.

This tablet is amazing, I have zero complaints so far - the drawing area is close to the size of drawing on an 8x10 sheet of paper. I haven't tried a Wacom, but I can't see what one would offer that the monoprice doesn't (this has hotkeys, pressure sensitivity, battery for the pen and an led blink to let you know when its in range). Also many applications (GNU Image Manipulation Program, mtpaint, aseprite and other animation tools) work out of the box with it (at least under GNU/Linux - which I'd guess for sure they do on Windows/OSX) as far as having great defaults for the pen's two buttons (open menu/zoom in and out etc.). I highly recommend this tablet.

Photography has been a hobby of mine for 40+ years. I am not a photographer and I am not paid by anyone to write this. My display is 21inches, at a resolution of 1440 X900. I have owned my CTH480 after someone on YouTube giving a retouching seminar said that if you don't have one of those, you're missing out. He was using an Intuos Bamboo Small. I had been thinking about getting one for some time, so I took his advice and took the plunge. Man, had I been missing out! This thing works great! It completely replaced my mouse at my desktop computer's side. When you first use it, it will be like the first time you used a mouse, but within a day, you'll be flying. I specially enjoy using the pen to refine a selection's mask with magnification and a very small brush. The tablet's active working surface area is customizable for different applications. For Photoshop, I use the whole surface to get more precision. For email and word processing, I only use the bottom right quarter of the tablet's surface and that's more than enough. One drawback, though: this tablet doesn't erase. I use Photoshop's eraser when I need one. But that's a very minor thing; I don't erase that much. I hope this helps.

No there is not room in the slide out tray for a mouse. Even if it had room, it would be very awkward as there is a dropdown for the keyboard. In the front it is raised with slots for ink pen,pencil,paper clips, etc. I have used a mouse on the top as there is plenty for room on the top even with the monitor sitting up there. I even have my speakers on each rear corner with double stick velcro. I absolutely love this unit!!

Hi Brandon, I see you posted this a while ago but thought I would answer in case you hadn't already purchased. I use my Wacom mainly for photo editing as well and I think the medium is the perfect size for this work. With the large I find it clumsy when I'm attempting to create paths or paint on masks. I'm not sure if its just because I'm used to the medium size, but I feel like there's a large discrepancy between the wide movements I'm making on the pad, and what's happening on the screen (I hope that made sense). However, using the medium tablet means you're basically restricted to drawing with your wrist and not your whole arm. I'm not a digital painter, but if its similar to brush-on-canvas painting I can understand how that would be an issue. Overall, I say go with the medium since that will best fit your primary use, and Amazon has a very generous return policy if it turns out not to work out.

It's a little tight, but not unreasonably so. I tend to lean over the tablet as I draw, so I have no issues. I have noticed that when I lean back, it begins to darken, but I don't draw from those angles.

Yes it does, to be clear on the Wacom site that draw tablet can fit a Wireless kit. From what I know the Wireless Kit is only a one size thing. As long as the tablet itself can take it, it will fit.

Intuos 6x8 is portable and it should be fine. I see alot of digital artists carrying it and stuffing them into their laptop cases.But my friend who has it broke the thing in like a month (her dad accidently dropped it)so be sure to get the insurance thing and be very careful!

I also upgraded from an older Wacom Pad. I was really worried about size, I knew the small was too small, and thought the large may be to large. I was right, and do think you will also be right is choosing the medium size.

Yes. My daughter got this to draw pictures and is able to use the pen and tablet to navigate her computer screen as well

Including a display in the tablet would be incredibly expensive; however, Wacom does offer the Cintiq line which provides exactly that. There are also cheaper tablets from Yiynova that do that as well. Personally I prefer the detached tablet, because then my hand doesn't get in the way of seeing what I'm working on. Also, having a 1:1 correlation between the pen and the mouse cursor makes it more annoying to have any slight accuracy or latency problem, while if you have your hand decoupled from the cursor those issues aren't as noticeable.

Yep! That's what I use it with. It's so simple that it doesn't have the driver complications of the complicated Wacom models.

I use it to tutor online students with the work they have to do or practice over work that I have on my computer. It is a huge white board! I can also sketch my future paintings. The system inside? Wacom has a good description. The company includes several free software programs with your purchase, so that you can use the Cintiq immediately. Great tool!

yes, just make sure your computer has the right OS that is compatible with the device before you buy. If you're just wanting to use this as a mouse replacement, you may want to consider buying a cheaper device/tablet. People purchase these tablets specifically for design work or art. I would consider your options.

I have an 11.6" folder that accommodates the tablet and keyboard. The dock gets left at home. If you wish to carry the dock, I suggest something larger than 11.6".I do carry a tiny Targus 4-port USB hub when I travel. That is enough to take care of expansion issues.

Question was cut off, there was no driver that came with the tablet but a visit to the wacom site and download a driver for your specific tablet should fix any issues. If you are just plugging it.it should.draw fine ,their isnt any pen pressure ,line gets bigger with pushing down. Any other questions please feel free to adk

Yes I remove the keyboard all the time and flip the cover backwards so I can hold the tablet in my hand. This is the position that works best for drawing for me.
