Wacom Bamboo Tablet Review

Now there's a simple, easy, and more natural way to bring your big ideas to life. Use Bamboo to transform your thoughts into powerful digital communications. Touch the pen tip to the tablet to handwrite notes, mark up digital documents, make quick sketches, and sign your name.

Combine Bamboo with Mac Inkwell or Microsoft Windows Vista and Office 2007 to handwrite email, enter text by hand anywhere typed text is accepted, navigate your desktop with a flick of the pen, and more.

Bamboo is a more comfortable and natural way to work, giving you a supplement to keyboard input and helping reduce mouse-related stress on your hand and wrist. Alternating among input devices such as a mouse, a keyboard, and a pen is an effective way to reduce strain on delicate muscles, tendons, and nerves.

Customer Reviews

Set up is easy, performance and value are good and appearance is nice. Set monitor control in Windows XP to 1600 x 900.
Attaching the stand is tricky. I paid $140.00 plus tax at wholesale club.
Lay the monitor face down on carpet against the wall to keep the piece steady. Take care not to scratch or force anything. The "arrow" side of the "ball" faces the front of the monitor, and the "straight line" side faces you/faces up. Gently but firmly pop the the "ball" into the socket. Then lift the monitor and ball however you feel comfortable and attach and screw the bottom base to the "ball." Diagram enclosed with the monitor is not as clear as it can be.
