Wacom Bamboo Pen & Touch Review

When the Wacom Bamboo Pen & Touch was released, many of the beginner graphic designers got excited by this new product. We all know that it's not possible to be comparable to the Wacom Cintiq, but these smaller tablets give us moments of great joy and most of increased productivity.
This tablet works as a PEN but also as Touch and this brings a lot of comfort and simplicity when it comes to use it in graphic design software (e.g. Photoshop or Illustrator).

After using a couple of tablets (MTE-450, Fun model, ..) I conclude that the size of the active area is not much relevant. A lot of people think that as big is the active area as better it is, they are wrong!

I list some of the advantages of using Wacom Bamboo Pen & Touch:
- Tablets with a smaller active area are less tiring
- It won't take too much space in your desk
- Provides the same quality of service as other ones more expensive
- Great quality
- Great Cost/Benefit (one of the best)
- Does not scratch easily
