Products in the top-left offer the best value (high score, low price).
Professional reviewers consider the Intuos Small Bluetooth a solid, reliable choice for beginners, emphasizing its strong build quality, value for money, thin portable form factor, and lag-free Bluetooth performance. Long-time Wacom users note that it meets expectations for an entry-level wireless tablet without compromising functionality.
Everyday users appreciate the tablet's sturdy construction, lightweight and compact design, and the absence of Bluetooth lag, often highlighting the included software as a bonus. Common criticisms focus on the need for initial calibration, a few seconds of startup delay, and a modest learning curve for new digital artists.
“I've been using their products for last 20+ years, and this one didn't disappoint! This is my first wireless Wacom, so I was a bit worry about laggings and connectivity in general, but no issues so far. Great build and functionality for the price.”
“it's really thin and compact it fits on my desk pretty well”
“has very little flex for its weight and definitely nails the premium feel”
Professional reviewers commend the HS610 for its solid build, larger active area than comparable Wacom models, and extensive programmable keys, while noting the lack of wireless connectivity and an eraser button on the pen as the primary shortcomings.
Everyday users consistently praise the tablet's pressure sensitivity, comfortable pen, affordable price, and plug-and-play setup, but they frequently mention the missing eraser button, wired-only connection, and limited mobile workspace as pain points.
