would this support the weight of my hand/arm drawing on it with a wacom tablet?

Not likely. It is pretty flexible... any additional weight would cause it to move fairly well.

I use this tablet in Photoshop myself, and it does make it a lot easier to do touch ups. You can probably even go with the small tablet if your mainly using it for PS and LR. I don't see this tablet as an overkill, I look at it as another tool to add to my creative flow. If you do decide to purchase the Wacom tablet, I would recommend purchasing the POSRUS surface cover on Amazon. It makes the drawing surface a lot smoother, and it gives it a better feel when it comes in contact with your pen. I hope this helps you out.

It depends how detail your work will be. I have gotten some good results for certain drawings, but I prefer Jot Touch for drawing and art work. Can't say for writting though I assume that if you can control the thickness of the stroke it would do the job. I would recommend you check out the pressure sensitive styli that are available now.

I certainly hope so. The specifications indicate that it should be pressure sensitive with replaceable nibs etc.. I wonder if Wacom is working on a project like this under their own roof.

When the tablet and dock are together I would not describe I as "too light". If you are holding it in an out stretched arm you will feel it in a relative short period of time. But that's not saying it too heavy. Just that you know you are holding something. I also agree that it's top heavy and can easily fall forward if the top of the docked tablet gets bumped.

Well I find that you will need a very high chair or stand to draw with tablet in lying down position, the stand spreads so the only way to get a good view is to stand. You may want the 14" in this case as you can hold in your lap, this tablet is very large, and hard to move around, I wanted the large one because I do design for a living, and need to work large, and my eye sight is not what it used to be lol. Hope this helps. It is an awesome tablet though, love it!

Sorry cannot say, as I do not use it for that. But as it has a rubber tip (typical of styluses) I would not think it would do well for drawing. Drawing would do better with a hard tip, I'd think. Actually what I was looking for, but can't seem to find.

I think so, if you don't need alot of pressure or force, it is a sturdy tool but it does have some bend to it. Since it has an attachment, you can put any kind of pen shaped tool in its arm. I am very pleased with mine, but only have used it on paper. Hope that helps.

I wouldn't be surprised if Wacom comes out with an affordable all-inclusive wireless pen tablet. Naturally that'll happen soon AFTER you buy the latest wired tablet.

Yes, it can hold a sketch pad or canvas. It is very sturdy and also adjustable. Great choice!

I don't know. I'm using it with a Wacom medium drawing tablet and that's not what it's meant to be used for - so I discovered. Mistakenly, I saw the word 'tablet' and thought it would work; tho after some reconfiguring of the parts, it does! The Ergotron Adapter is attached to the LX Desk mount LCD arm and keeps my Wacom handy but off the desk.

It would hold it, no problem, but may not be stable if the keyboard was in use while on the table. Check the length of the keyboard against the arm table specs. Could be a tight fit.

Although I'm not quite sure of the measurements of your tablet, this is pretty sturdy and I would think would hold it successfully. The actual (adjustable angle) panel that supports the back of the tablet is about 4 inches and should be sturdy enough to support it. It doesn't need to be from top to bottom of the tablet to support it successfully. Go back and look at the pictures on the Amazon page. The second picture shows it supporting a Mac Book (or is that a large iPad?). You shouldn't have any problems. I love this stand!!

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.

No Kim. the tablet is simplya surface interface. What you draw can only be seen on the monitor. I think that what you are looking for might be the touch screen monitor that supports Wacom pens. That is somewhere between 900 & 2000 dollars depending on the size you buy.

yes, a coworker uses this arm with the arm extension with his 22HD Cintiq at work and he is able to set it in his lap vertically and draw with no wiggle or problems.

Although the active area of the tablet may map to your monitor size, the size of the active area still matters. From my exp, the small and even med Int4 are "writing" tablets because the active area is too small for the strokes adults make when drawing. Personally, I wouldn't go under a 12 x 9 active area for drawing...which, for the "starving artist", means looking at alternative brands to wacom.
