Booyah. Got my Intuos4 (medium) and been working with it for about a week on a 24" new gen imac with CS4. Here is my short list of pros and cons thus far:
PROS:
1. much sleeker industrial design (streamlined, clean and more comfortable not too mention looks good in all black and next to newer looking macs if you into that thing)
2. pen and entire setup very responsive (pen seems lighter as well and apparently uses less power)
3. haven't tried a ton, but digging new pen tips with textured surfaces for more realistic use
4. "touch ring" thing is much easier to use than old scroll option (wish I could adjust volume and scratch like a dj in itunes though).CONS:
1. It's black and glossy AND if you're OCD like me, it shows everything much more apparent (dust, smudges, etc)... Wish it came in color options like gunmetal grey.
2. Still don't use short cut keys (or the mouse) as they look nice with the new LCD displays but still hard to press and not that convenient/useful IMHO
3. Did I mention it is black and show dust and scratches?Overall, another step in the right direction, but wish the LCD buttons and shortcuts were easier to use and could be programmed to whatever you like (say the touch ring could be programmed to adjust the volume in itunes, or the side buttons could program to common shortcuts like "save" or cut and paste, yadda yadda... Can't say other than the looks and the interface of the newer version it is THAT much different than v3, but that is a good thing as I love the quality and responsiveness of wacom's products (sans included mouse). Carry on...
- I have read that all the buttons are programmable according to the application you are using.brothernoah
