What customers say about "Key Specs"
Wacom Intuos5 (PTH650) Touch Medium Pen Tablet
- The pressure sensitivity is great, comes with a variety of useful replacement pen nibs.
- The intuos5 is extremely sensitive (in a good way) to pressure, it will recognize even the finest touch with the pen.
- Not only is the tablet easy to use but having pressure sensitivity increasing the size of the tablets tracing path is a welcome benefit.
- This tablet is smooth and has great pressure sensitivity. Really inspired me to get back to my art work.
- The pressure sensitivity is fantastic and the pen is comfortable in my hand. It has a nicely sized drawing/active area.
Wacom Cintiq 13HD (DTK1300) Interactive Pen Display
- There's plenty of size to include a decent work area as well as interface elements from PS or Sketchbook Pro.
- The stylus has an eraser end, which I was happily surprised with since the description doesn't specify whether it does or not.
- Stylus is awwwwesome, can't even describe how much I liked it.
- Great fidelity and response, and the stylus and all of the tips it came with make it well worth every penny!
- Only thing I would've changed on it was for the eraser side to be less jiggly. It's the only thing on it that keeps it from feeling totally solid.

What customers say about "Size & Weight"
Wacom Intuos5 (PTH650) Touch Medium Pen Tablet
- It is small, light and thin enough to put in my lap while working.
- I actually really like it and glad I got this much smaller, lighter and more sensitive version for my work and play.
- At first, I was a little leery that the tablet might be too small. To my surprise it is absolutely the ideal working size for a desktop.
- This new Medium Intuous tablet is great and is just the right size for my needs.
- This is a really good size (medium) for photo work. The bigger one might be better for drawing, but would take a lot of space and require excess motion for photo work.
Wacom Cintiq 13HD (DTK1300) Interactive Pen Display
- The 13HD is an awesome size for sketching & photo retouching. Compared to the Intuos3 9" the Cintiq 13HD is only 1.5" wider and is actually shorter by .3" than the Intuos.
- To me, this is a great size for desktop use. I suspect the larger Cintiqs may actually be annoyingly large in everyday use.
- The tablet is light weight and easy to manage as a graphic artist, I turn this thing like a pinwheel when I work.
- The size is comfortable and easy to draw on- and theres no display lag!
- The pad has a really good weight to it so it doesn't feel cheap and flimsy at all.

What customers say about "Display Parameters"
Wacom Intuos5 (PTH650) Touch Medium Pen Tablet
- I am extremely happy with the responsiveness and pressure sensitivity and the surface is great.
- Very responsive, versatile programming for buttons and such, comfortable pen, sleek design.
- Overall this tablet was a wonderful investment. It's responsive, wireless capable, and overall solid.
- The touch gestures are not smooth and accurate as OS X's built in ones.
- Even using it connected with a cable, it's sloppy, not responsive.
Wacom Cintiq 13HD (DTK1300) Interactive Pen Display
- The screen resolution is 1920x1080, and with the size of the display, it is not quite retina-display resolution, but definitely finer than standard.
- The screen texture is smooth and the stylus glides along the surface.
- Screen is not too bright to give you eye strain and I've gone stretches using this thing for hours and it did not get hot at all.
- The display is full HD 1920x1080 that is good. It's good in that the details are crisp and beautiful.
- If you want a Cintiq, but don't have ridiculous amounts of spending cash to throw at the bigger models, this is a PERFECTLY awesome display.

What customers say about "Features"
Wacom Intuos5 (PTH650) Touch Medium Pen Tablet
- If you have used an Intuos4, you might not notice much of a pressure and response difference but the new buttons and rubber is a big change.
- I like the programmable side buttons for the most part. All in all nice purchase.
- The customizeable hotkeys for each program and the extra features with the pen (additional levels of pressure, tilt sensing, more styles of tips) are very useful.
- If I do have a couple of complaints, they have to do with the surface being easily scuffed by your harder pen nibs.
- Its can lose the signal for a few seconds every once in a couple of hours of use.
Wacom Cintiq 13HD (DTK1300) Interactive Pen Display
- There is texture to the screen, which has a satin-type "finish." When using the standard nib, it feels, to me, like using Copic marker on marker paper. This feels a lot better than the Intuos3
- The pressure sensitivity is great. The drivers are great and support all of my favorite software.
- The stand - is slim, lightweight but very functional, for the most part.
- When using photoshop cc with the cintiq my computer blue screens. Apparently this is an issue with the compatibly of each other.
- The stand is really clunky and kinda unpleasant to set up and the cables are a little awkward though.
