My views may be biased from drawing on a tablet, but here goes!Pros:The tablet has 4 buttons at the top that also double as a pen holder to keep it from rolling away. In total, you have access to CTL, ALT, Windows key, Tab, Shift, and Undo.The pen is not battery-operated, meaning it doesn't need to be charged. Now the tips will wear down eventually, so they will need to be placed but should last a few months depending on how much pressure you use when drawing.The drawing area may seem small but it's pretty effective. But there is a downside, I'll elaborate on the cons.The tablet works with multiple software and can even be used as a mouse.The pen has 2 buttons, The smaller front button is a grab tool and the back is a dropper tool shortcut (at least in Clip Studio Paint). They have more uses when combined with other buttons as well.The free softwares! If nothing else the 2 years of free Clip Studio Paint and access to 13 other software and trials.You can customize what the buttons do in each applicable software!Cons:Not a big one for me but the tablet is not Bluetooth. It has a USB wire to connect to the display that powers it. If your device doesn't have a USB port all hope is not lost as an adapter can easily solve the issue.The drawing area is quite small so it can be a hassle to move around the drawing if you aren't proficient with shortcuts.Picky cons:The buttons can be quite loud when pressedWhen drawing the pen makes a scratching sound on the tablet, this can possibly be corrected by getting a sort of paper-feel screen protector.Going from drawing on a tablet where you can see where exactly on a picture you're placing your pen instead of lining up your pen on a tablet with the cursor on your screen has been my biggest personal struggle. Not to mention learning the shortcuts instead of just being able to pinch the screen and zoom in and such.

This is my very first graphic tablet but definitely not my first time working with digital art. As an experienced artist, I can say that this tablet is excellent for beginners! It works fantastically and I was able to make some of my best work.The one thing I will say about this tablet though was that it was kind of difficult to set up. The installation process was easy enough and downloading the programs included went very smoothly, but for some reason my computer kept saying that my tablet wasn't connected when it clearly was. I had to contact customer support and even though they helped me out, I still had problems afterwards with the tablet connecting. Honestly, I don't think that it was the tablet itself but possibly my computer (it's currently 8 years old and running on Windows 7), so maybe the issue was compatibility. The best fix was doing a quick google search for the issue and I was able to fix it in no time. I sometimes have to restart the programs manually to get the tablet properly working again with the pen pressure and all, but to me that is a minor inconvenience and doesn't really bother me.Overall, besides for the nightmare installation process, I say that this tablet is amazing for beginners and I definitely recommend it to others who want to dip their hands into digital art.

You’re getting what you pay for with this product. Everything works fine but is good for a beginner, no extra features that you would want for daily use.

The Wacom Intuos CTL4100 really surprised me with how easy it is to use. It’s lightweight, practical, and the pen feels very natural—almost like drawing on paper. I use it with my photo editing programs and even to navigate my computer’s interface, and the experience is super smooth. Even though the surface is small, it’s comfortable enough to work for hours without feeling tired. It’s perfect if you’re just starting with digital art or need something portable to take anywhere.

preface i use this brand alot and this is my second intuos small. im a digital artist and use this as a mouse most of the time due to it's ease.it's not perfect. multiple times my pen pressure gives out during drawing and i have to wait till it works again which is like 15s. but overall it's good. nibs do run down quickly and I don't recommend using a nib till it's sharp as it will cut up the tablet. train yourself to have a lighter hand it'll save you in the long run.it's a good starter tablet and it's a good tablet even as an intermediate. you could go professional and still use it. i don't travel but it's a good size for it.i just wish the american ones came in pink like the japanese one. the black is monotonous and the green looks sickly after acouple years. these tablets if cared well can last awhile and that means DON'T USE THESE AS COASTERS. that's all!

For an entry level graphics tablet this does everything I need and more. I got this tablet to get into digital art and animation. I started with adobe software and now i use krita which is free. Every program i have used with this tablet has been compatable off rip and has required minimal setup. You can get fancier pens but the basic one it comes with is comfortable and has two buttons which is enough for me. The pressure sensitivity feels intuitive and has never ledt anything to be desired. There is a little bit of lag but it has never bothered me and you can adjust how much lag there is. This is great tablet to learn digital art.
