THere are a few with decent reviews on Amazon, but not this exact model...

I do a daily woot blog where I talk about the woot, link to CSEs, find reviews, etc. A few people have told me it's useful. Google "useful linkage" and there it is.

The pen needs a battery? That's weird.

This would probably be pretty good if it's your first tablet, then you can graduate to a Wacom tablet.

So this is for hardcore graphic artist type people right? For your average schmo like me, this is way overkill correct?

I've never researched drawing tablets before (haven't ever used one either), and am interested in purchasing this for graphics design. Can someone in-the-know point out where this tablet stands in bang-for-the-buck category, or if it's even worth purchasing as a beginner tablet?

Used this for Photoshop and it was great for beginners. It's now being use by my 10 years old for drawing in paint.

I bought the smaller one last time around. Works just dandy in Vista, though it gets funky with dual monitors. I have to disable my second monitor to get it to work right

I wouldnt worry about this working with Vista, I am pretty sure it would.

However, as I have learned already sometimes the cheaper tables do not support Widescreen display OR multiple monitors (And I have both of those configurations).

Wacom I know has an advanced settings area where you can specify that you are using multiple monitors and a widescreen display.

If this one allows for that type of setup, then it is a great value. For those of you with a single 4:3 aspect ratio display it should be fine as well.

Anyone tried this with XP x64? Or Vista x64...

I'd like one, but I've got 64-bit OSes

Can anyone who has one of these already say if it works like a wacom tablet?

Example: Can it sense the pen hovering above the pad (to move the cursor) without having pressed the pen to the pad like the wacom can?

In for one, here's to hoping it works with Vista 64-bit. If not I'm donating it to my church.

I'll try to tell you everything I know about UC-Logic tablets.

In general: The stylus uses 1 AAA battery, unlike Wacom tablets that require no battery. Apparently, this type of tablet is cheaper to produce, but you can read the technical details on Wikipedia. The stylus automatically sleeps, so the battery lasts pretty much forever. Holding the stylus above the surface (hovering) moves the mouse. Tapping the surface clicks. The harder you press, the wider (or darker) your brush strokes are in a painting program. It's pretty intuitive. The nib is a plastic nib that will wear out, especially if you use it much or use it on a rougher surface (e.g. tracing on paper). Finding a replacement stylus will be challenging, a problem exacerbated by cheap production quality.

On Windows, the tablet drivers come with miscellaneous software for annotations and such that I doubt most of you will use. You get to configure the active area of the tablet and how it matches up to the screen, as well as any gestures to launch programs and such. The tablet driver is the Wintab type, meaning any applications that support the wintab interface work, that being the majority of them (Photoshop, Painter, Artrage, etc.). It does not give you the Ink capabilities of Windows Tablet Edition, nor does it give pressure support to programs that only support Windows Ink.

On Mac, UC-Logic's tablet drivers work with Leopard (10.5.2) all the way back to Tiger or something. Check UC-Logic's website to be sure. It's pretty simple. You don't get too many options, but the Ink icon will show up in Mac's System Preferences after you install it. Works as advertised.

On Linux, don't attempt unless you're daringly good at configuring X. They seem to present themselves as a standard HID device and the data from evtest looked correct, but for the life of me I couldn't get Ubuntu to recognize it correctly. It will function properly as a simple pointing device, with left and right click, so you can use it as a mouse, although the coordinates are a bit off-scale.
[Edit:] It's been a while since I tried it on Linux. Instructions for using this tablet on Ubuntu are at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/TabletSetupWizardpen

Bought one of these for my daughter for Xmas. She's photoshopping in architecture design classes and loves it. BTW, the pen is battery powered because the pad tracks its position as it hovers the pad without touching it. The pen's tip is also pressure sensitive (i.e. the harder it's applied to the pad the wider or darker the mark). Thought it was a great deal for the money. I may have even paid 10 bucks more for it then.

512 levels of pressure? that's kinda low.
the norm is 1024.

How does this work with MAC? Is the software included compatable? Are there restrictions on a MAC that are not there for a PC?

I would buy this immediately, except that I already own a medium size Wacom Bamboo which is great... but much more money.

Not at all, especially at this price. Now if it was a wacom, which is industry standard, then it'd be another story

Hmm. The UC-Logic site states 1024 levels. Maybe this is an older model.
Since this is significantly cheaper than a comparably sized Wacom, I just ordered one.
Not sure how this will react to a dual monitor, wide-screen setup.
I've never used a tablet with PS Elements before so hopefully it is useful.

Sorry to plead my ignorance, but what is a woot-off? I'm new to this and have heard the term but not sure how this works.
