Drawing with a 13 inch screen works perfectly as the tablet size matches in that size range. No worries for larger size screens though! Just adjust your pen mapping in the Wacom Tablet Properties under the pen you're using, and adjust the screen area portion down to a size that fits! However, that will mean your cursor is now limited too in those set proportions you make. So your cursor will not reach the edges of the screen as you once were able too. You'll need to use a mouse for anyhting other than drawing then or the touch if you're on a laptop. You also have a second option if you wish, there is Precision Mode located as an option in a drop down menu when selecting a function for your pen button or one of the side buttons on the tablet under Tablet>Precision ... MoreDrawing with a 13 inch screen works perfectly as the tablet size matches in that size range.

You also have a second option if you wish, there is Precision Mode located as an option in a drop down menu when selecting a function for your pen button or one of the side buttons on the tablet under Tablet>Precision Mode. It'll then show you a slider from: fine to ultra fine. Once these settings are selected, activating the hotkey you created for what preference you chose will place a shaded mesh over the screen and a clear open box near the cursor. Here you can draw without the twitchiness that a larger screen would impose on a smaller tablet. Depending on the level of fine to ultra fine you set will determine the open drawing box size and the level of sensitive your movements will have. Hopefully this was helpful! I just don't want anyone to get the wrong reason to not want this tablet because of some certain difficulties between monitor and tablet size differences. There are ways around this and it is worth giving this tablet a try because it has so many benefits over a screen drawing tablet. Good luck 😁

The driver is slow, takes forever to get started and you need to restart the tablet each time after your desktop is awakened. I’ve only used my Wacom with my desktop. Beautifully packaged but has no case or protection once it’s out of the box. Setting it up isn’t difficult so long as you follow all the instructions; it will take at least 30 minutes for a very basic setup. Tablet controls are set up either for right or left-handed users. I suggest you find and watch as many videos about setting up and using your tablet. Wacom’s site has several but mostly covers the basics. In order to enjoy what this tablet can do I’m recommending viewing as many ‘use’ and ‘how-to’ video’s you can find online; there are many. Nibs are a pain to get to; they are located on the bottom ... MoreThe driver is slow, takes forever to get started and you need to restart the tablet each time after your desktop is awakened. I’ve only used my Wacom with my desktop. Beautifully packaged but has no case or protection once it’s out of the box.

I suggest you find and watch as many videos about setting up and using your tablet. Wacom’s site has several but mostly covers the basics. In order to enjoy what this tablet can do I’m recommending viewing as many ‘use’ and ‘how-to’ video’s you can find online; there are many. Nibs are a pain to get to; they are located on the bottom of the pen stand. You get 6 black and 4 white. Black nibs are the ‘basic ‘plastic nibs, white nibs are‘ felt tip’ and tend to glide across the surface with a slight tension bite. Using the basic black nibs, I noticed on my first use they wear very quickly. You’ll be replacing nibs often even with the smooth texture surface. Getting to the nibs is a pain; they are stored in the bottom of the pen holder. I had quite the ordeal of getting the bottom off then back on again. I’ve decided to store my nibs in a small box next to my desktop. It’s much easier and faster for me to replace nibs rather than have to tackle the pen holder. The tablet texture surface is smooth and may take getting used to gliding across it. Adjusting the pen pressure will help. If adjusting the pen pressure doesn’t work for you, you can replace the texture plate with a different texture more suitable to your needs. I noticed the surface will smudge easily from your hand, make sure your hands are clean and free from any lotions or oil while using. Personally, I should have got the smaller version because the medium size edition takes up a lot of room on my desk. The size you get will be your personal preference and depend on how many items you have on your work surface/area. I also found I seldom if ever use the entire surface of my tablet, a smaller size may be better for me; in this case, I don’t believe bigger is better. This is the ‘medium’ which is fairly large for my needs is 13-1/4” x 8-3/4”. As with any new product you will need to get use to working with this tablet and the software for a while to get to know exactly what it’s capable of. If you’re more of an artist who enjoys sketching on paper, I wouldn’t recommend this particular edition. All in all, I’m not disappointed with this edition of the tablet and it’s a good starter but a bit pricy. I’m not jumping up and down with happiness with its abilities and ease of use with various software programs. That being said, if you’re going to use this tablet with one or two software programs and get your controls programed/adjusted accordingly then this table should be fine for you.

As a user and fan of Wacom Tablets since the 1990's I really wanted to love the current Intuos Pro (PTH-660) as a replacement for my rather long-in-the-tooth Intuos 4 (PTK-440). What enticed me to make the change was that the active area was significantly larger while the overall footprint was almost the same for the medium size tablets. I thought since I've developed unsteadiness of hand that the larger active area would make precise control on my 32" monitor easier and I would have to switch to the mouse less often. What I failed to notice before ordering was that the new Intuos Pro does not come with a compatible mouse. That feature was replaced by making the surface touch-sensitive rather than just pen sensitive. So I thought, "eh, no problem - no need for a ... MoreAs a user and fan of Wacom Tablets since the 1990's I really wanted to love the current Intuos Pro (PTH-660) as a replacement for my rather long-in-the-tooth Intuos 4 (PTK-440). What enticed me to make the change was that the active area was significantly larger while the overall footprint was almost the same for the medium size tablets. I thought since I've developed unsteadiness of hand that the larger active area would make precise control on my 32" monitor easier and I would have to switch to the mouse less often. What I failed to notice before ordering was that the new Intuos Pro does not come with a compatible mouse. That feature was replaced by making the surface touch-sensitive rather than just pen sensitive. So I thought, "eh, no problem - no need for a mouse then." But there was a serious flaw in that thinking. Using the pen as the screen pointer control, I tap then to move to a new position I might want to click on, I simply lift the pen off the tablet by rotating my wrist slightly then slide my hand across the table and drop the pen to tap. The movement is similar to writing where you typically do not take your hand off the paper but slide it along as you progress. The Intuos Pro is so sensitive with touch enabled that hand contact with the tablet while using the pen will cause all types of strange things to happen as it tries to interpret the hand contact as "gestures". There is no setting to adjust the sensitivity of "Touch" as there is for the pen pressure. The desktop might zoom, some crazy mode of the application you are in may be invoked - it is unpredictably crazy. To avoid that I have to disable touch with the slide switch on the side of the tablet which rests against my keyboard. So I have to keep a wired mouse available to substitute for proper "fine" control when needed. Also the "Express Keys" are overly sensitive. They are "touch" sensitive even with the "Touch" switch set to off so that slightly brushing them with anything sets them off. Pressing them requires a very light touch and I am constantly setting them off with silly things like dropping the pen when moving it toward the active surface. And the one thing I would like - the ability to enable/disable "Touch" - cannot be mapped to one of these buttons. The pen holder doubled its footprint. Not a big deal except for my installation it means can't be placed so the pen stands upright in front of my monitor. Due to constraints of the workstation bench the distance between keyboard and screen is a few inches so I have to move the pen stand behind the monitor for easy upright pen access. I was also hoping the bothersome, "Windows cannot access the specified device, path or file" error the driver throws up periodically on boot-up or reboot would be avoided with the new driver. (I've been getting it for years with the Intuos 4 on different machines with different editions of Windows and Wacom driver versions, while Wacom claims to have no way to fix it.) But it appeared the first time I did a restart with the new tablet and driver installed. So, I lost precision control with a tablet-based mouse so in addition to the tablet I have to make room on the bench for a wired mouse and pad. "Touch" control is not really usable without having to access a slider switch on the side of the tablet which, for me, involves picking the tablet up first, sliding the switch to on, do my "precision maneuver" then pick up the tablet sliding the switch back go "off" to continue with pen usage. I did gain more active surface area. But in terms of overall ergonomics and desk space efficiency, I lost. So, not really a worthwhile "upgrade".
