It feels well-built too, though its thinness makes it feel fragile. Indeed, it’s quite an attractive peripheral, if not quite as classy as the far more expensive Intuos 4 range. In the box you get a driver CD, pen and tablet, plus three spare identical nibs and a metal nib-remover, though unlike the Intuos 4 there’s no pen holder to store these in.Īesthetically, the Bamboo’s smooth blending of matt and glossy black plastics with a white LED strip is classic Wacom. Certainly as a touch device it’s more generous than even the largest touchpad, though as a pen tablet it’s at the smallest end of the scale. Returning to the Bamboo Pen & Touch, its 248 x 176 x 8.5mm dimensions (with an ‘active’ area of 147 x 92mm for the pen and 125 x 85mm for touch sensitivity) and 360g weight strike a good balance between portability and a decent working area. And above this are the white and silver Bamboo Fun Pen & Touch tablets, available in Small and Medium (though even Small is slightly larger than the standard Pen & Touch) and with bundled copies of ArtRage and Photoshop Elements. The black Bamboo Pen & Touch we’re checking out here is the next step up, coming without any software except the standard Bamboo Dock application, which we’ll get to later. First there’s the black Bamboo Touch, which has no pen and won’t accept one if you buy it separately later on – basically it’s just a huge multi-touch touchpad. This isn’t Wacom’s only touch tablet, either. And given Wacom has an unmatched pedigree when it comes to creating tablets – its previous Intuos 4 Graphics Tablet scored a perfect 10 and grabbed an Editor’s Choice Award – we are expecting good things. This basically takes a traditional graphics tablet, which requires a pen to interact with, and adds touch technology so you can use your fingers as well. With the advent of Windows 7, suddenly multi-touch devices are coming out left, right and centre, from monitors like the Dell SX2210T to the unique Wacom Bamboo Pen & Touch tablet we’re reviewing today.
