My Wacom Intuos4 Bluetooth just arrived and I just love the freedom! I used the “older” unit just as long as I could (it wasn’t made for traveling) and then upgraded to the Intuos4 but never liked being wired in. The new bluetooth model offers all the freedom of Bluetooth (you charge the battery which has a great life via a USB port) along with the programmable express keys. What I really like about the Intuos4 Bluetooth is the vast increase on the pen tip sensitivity, some 2048 points! It’s no secret I’m a HUGE Wacom fan using their products everywhere I go. I have two of the 21UX on my desk, we have four of these at DLWS, the 12WS travels with me and when weight is an issue, I have a tablet. For the last year I’ve always had the Intuos4 in my luggage. I’ve taken that out now, it’s been replaced by the Bluetooth, it rocks.

Just a point of interest, for me at least when I paired the Intuos4 Bluetooth to my computers, it showed up as a mouse and not a tablet. That threw me for a while, couldn’t figure out why my computer wasn’t seeing it. Finally I clicked on the mouse to pair and found out that was actually the tablet. Last thing, the new surface on the Intuos does wear down the pen tips. Wacom provides a fist full of repl when you buy the unit. If you travel, take them with you!!! You have no idea how hard it is to find a tip in the middle of Yellowstone in winter.
