Note: The Small doesn’t work with the paper edition and the touch ring can only be set to a single function at a time. The size is small enough to take anywhere and at less than $250 USD its really worth it. Overall this is a great tablet and has the same feel as the rest of the Wacom Intros pro line. Main new features of the Wacom Intuos Pro Small Check out my review video and see it in action. This new, smaller tablet really earns the moniker: Pro, as it has the full range of pressure and comes with the latest pro pen 2 as well as working as a multi-touch trackpad at the same time. I love to use the small Intros pro when traveling and its great to fit on a podium or table while speaking at events.Ĭheck out my review where I show all the features as well as an in-depth tutorial on how to set up a Wacom tablet to get the full functionality out of it. The intuos pro small is a great addition to the lineup (Medium and Large – review here because it’s small and portable, while packing the punch of its larger siblings. Today Wacom announced an additionto the Intuos pro line of tablets and added the small size. I still have a lot to learn with swipes and other gestures, but for now I’m off to a flying start.Wacom Intuos Pro Small in depth Review and setup Going entirely to the tablet takes a little time and practise, but just like learning a language it’s a skill I’d like to get some more fluency in. Will my mouse be gone foreover? I’m not sure. The new drivers installed perfectly and after a reboot, my Intuos was recognised, and the (still somewhat limited, but vastly improved) control panel was in System Settings.Įverything about this install was intuitive, other than for changing the nibs on the stylus, which Wacom had helpfully done a video of. I’d had mixed results backporting previously, like when I had to backport the Atheros ethernet drivers into my ASUS N76. Not even a hesistant jitter from the cursor to indicate it knew of the Intuos, and the Intuos knew of it.Īfter some reading on the Ubuntu forums, I happened across instructions for downloading, compiling and installing the latest version of the Wacom drivers, from the Linux Wacom project. So, after unpacking and installing the Intuos under Windows, I booted into Ubuntu and set to work. The good folk at BCC had warned me that I would have to use this difficult thing called the ‘command line’ when I made initial enquiries this was where I pulled out the photo of my “other” Nexus 4 running Ubuntu Touch and demonstrated this was probably within my capability! Installation under Ubuntu was a little more tricky. Getting it installed under Ubuntu 13.10 Saucy Salamander In both cases I had to reboot, but the software installed easily and immediately I was able to use it. The tablet installed beautifully under both Windows 8, my home machine, and my work laptop running Win 7 Professional. The other complication was that I had a Masters’ assignment due my wonderful work colleague T played Dad and ‘kept it safe’ for me for the week or so until the assignment was finished then my toy got released! Thanks, T □ Installation under Windows It’s just as well that it arrived after 2014, otherwise I wouldn’t have packed for conf! The lovely folks at BCC Computers in Geelong put one on backorder (apparently they’re really popular, they kept chasing for me, which was great) and within a couple of weeks I had the device in my hot little hands. The Bamboo range wasn’t function enough for what I wanted, so opted for the mid-range Intuos Pro model, the PTH-651. In determining which model to buy, Wacom was really the only choice – they are the undisputed market leader in this space. As a hobbyist graphic designer and photographer, it was an area I was keen to develop skills in. As a present to myself for getting a high distinction while studying my IT Masters, I decided to get a reasonable graphics tablet.
