Professional reviewers consider the Intuos Small a solid starter tablet, praising its realistic pen feel, bundled software, and space-saving design, while noting the trade-off of a modest active area and missing advanced features like tilt and multi-touch.
Everyday users appreciate the tablet's lightweight build, quick setup, accurate battery-free pen and the included creative software, often calling it 'super slim and compact'. Common frustrations revolve around the limited drawing surface on high-resolution or dual monitors, hand-eye coordination learning curve, and occasional ExpressKey delays.
