The first thing I noticed was that the new tablet is thinner and lighter than my old tablet. It also has LED displays next to the buttons that tell you what each button does, these can be customized. I couldn’t get a good picture of the LED displays, but it looks very cool. I love that feature because with my old tablet I am always forgetting what the buttons do. I also like the design of the pen base. The bottom comes off and it holds the extra nibs (pictured above). It comes with 11 nibs total (one on the pen and ten in the base). There are color coded washer like things that you can put on the pen. I’m guessing the idea is that you use different colors with different nibs so you don’t forget which nib you are using.

I’m a member of Amazon Vine. Amazon Vine is a service through Amazon.com that sends products out to members to be reviewed. Well, yesterday Amazon offered me the new Wacom Intuos4 for review. This is pretty significant because at the moment I am writing this Wacom doesn’t even have the Intuous4 on their website, and the only information about it at all on the internet is some blurry photos of the product package.

The best part is that my new Intuos tablet was shipped from the Amazon warehouse that is right down the street from my house. According to UPS it is already out for delivery and will be on my doorstep some time today. So, not only am I getting a super awesome new graphics tablet, I am getting it before anyone else!

Keep an eye on this page. I plan on uploading my first impressions as soon as the doorbell wrongs.
