- + Все
- - приходится настраивать область работы на экране(((
- + В общем-то оправдал то, что ожидал от подобного девайса.
*Мой первый планшет - - В ТТХ не указано требование к версии Bluetooth. На моём 2.0 не подключался, в сети же вычитал что ему нужна версия...
- + Если вы работали на вакоме, то вы продолжите работать на вакоме
- - когда-нибудь ваком станет использовать актуальные порты. Микроюсб в 2023 году? серьезно?
- + Дизайн норм. Ручка излишне легкая. Батарейки хватает на смену работы - норм.
- - Ужасно недоработанное ПО. Часто слетают драйвера, и это на Маке Ретина 2017, с которым вообще проблем никогда нет! В...
- + Вполне себе неплохой планшет, свою работу выполняет.
- - Отклик при работе через Bluetooth заметно больше. В большинстве случаев можно просто смириться и привыкнуть, но я часто тянусь за проводом (который, кстати, давно пора подключать по usb-c!). В данном случае отклик почти не заметен, но батарея ноутбука садится быстрее. Было бы круто, если бы можно было использовать провод только для передачи сигнала, оставив планшет работать...
- + Удобный. Настройка интуитивная.
- - Не обнаружено
- + Компактная машинка, не может не радовать функция блютус. Отваливается довольно редко.
Долго держит зарядку.
Количество степеней нажатия устраивает. У ваком есть модели с 2000т.н. но мне комфортнее с 4000т. как у этого планшета.
Кнопок должно быть или в разы больше, чтобы ими пользоваться (но где их разместить на такой малютке? Или вообще без них, так как ими редко кто пользуется. Думала взять этот же размер без кнопок, вышло бы даже дешевле, но опять же, у такой модели было бы меньше степеней нажатия, что в профессиональной уже ощущается.
Если кто-то хочет поиграться и попробовать себя в этом - рекомендую выбрать...
- + очень удобное устройство, есть еще большой планшет этой фирмы с проводом. этот маленький беспроводной удобнее
- - По блютузу ощутимо хуже работает, как будто 20fps
- + отличный планшет. для начинающего
- - пока не обнаружил
- + взял ребёнку. ребёнок часто рисует. отзывы о планшете очень хорошие.
- + друг сказал имба. покупался в подарок
- - если бы были, друга бы у меня не было
- + Компактный, ОЧЕНЬ лёгкий. Большую часть времени работает через безпроводное соединение.
Провод удобно расположен в центре на дальней стороне, что упрощает параллельную с рисованием зарядку. Там же есть петелька, к которой можно крепить стилус, чтобы не потерять.
Довольно долго держит заряд - я понимаю, что не рисую на нём сутки на пролёт, но в режиме "периодически включать на час-два" он продержался дольше месяца, ожидала меньшего - - Пока что не обнаружила. Некоторые называют как недостаток необходимость регистрироваться на сайте производителя, но я не вижу в этом чего-то страшного - тем более что они дают бесплатный софт за покупку...
- + Простой и понятный, недорогой вариант для знакомства с этим типом девайса. В подарок 3 месяца использования графического редактора.
- - Не знаю, можно ли это назвать недостатком, но это именно графический планшет, а не интерактивный дисплей,...
- + Покупал не для проф использования. С установкой проблем не было. Качеством устройства доволен. Провод достаточно длинный...
Then imagine that the item only works with an online software download.
Then imagine the website is crashed.
The customer service center is closed.
There is no information. All day.
Try and try to get it to come up so you can simply USE the thing you spent so much $ on. Nope. No luck.
I understand web traffic must be high on Christmas day. But the company SOLD these items in the Christmas season. It's not like they couldn't predict the amount of traffic to expect. They should have put CDs in the box to download the software.
Now it's an expensive brick. Totally useless.
Very disappointed.
Update: Day 2 and website is still nonfunctional. No customer support. Googling the problem reveals this has been a problem since LAST YEAR and yet nothing has been done about it.

The free software, in my case a paint and a photo program from Corel, was even worse. To start you need an account which requires registering the device. It asked for the device number, found it, and then gave a cryptic error message. Back to chat (who are very nice, and likely underpaid) and they told me to enter the product serial number, not the product number. If that is what is needed, why not ask for it in the first place? Of course, they send you an email to confirm a valid address, click on the link, and then you have an account - but still do not have the software.
To get the software you have to select the packages but there is no 'Download' button. It turns out you have to double click the 'select' button, it emails you a link, you click on the link, and then the 'Select' button is replaced by a 'Download' button. You have to do this for each package separately.
I hope these details are useful for someone else. PS - I am running WIN 10, 64 bit, and Chrome browser.


But -- I can see why some reviewers are having a problem. Best advice I can give is to go back to what we learned in drawing class: Move your arm when you draw, not your hand, and you'll get a much smoother line.
If you need extra traction for control, tape a piece of paper down on the top of the Wacom and draw on that instead of the (slippery) board. When working with photos, try to start with the highest res image you can as low res images are very pixelated and can make working with close up details difficult.
Enjoy! And Highly Recommended!

-If you compare it to the previous generation CTL-490/CTH-490 series, it's a slight upgrade with the pen becoming hard rubber grip from plastic and the inclusion of Bluetooth wireless (except they removed the touchpad feature of the CTH-490).
-If you compare it to the first generation CTL-480/CTH-480 series, it's about the same in quality, but I preferred the pen on the CTL-480. The Bluetooth is a pro if you like it (but again, it replaces the touchpad feature).
One big improvement from the previous versions is that the Micro-USB port on the tablet no longer has the tunnel in front of it, so now you can use any Micro-USB cable that you have if your included one breaks. No more waiting for perpetually out of stock Wacom replacement cables!
If you compare the new CTL4100 to both the CTL-480 and CTL-490, the new Intuos CTL4100 has the roughest texture of them all and eats pen nibs pretty fast. Only drawing on the tablet for one day has already noticeably flattened my nib (look at attached photo).
I know the most common advice to prevent nib wear on Wacom tablets is to set the Tip Feel to "Soft" in the drivers, but setting the Tip Feel to "Soft" actually changes the pen pressure so drastically that you can no longer draw the lowest pen pressures. To get the best range of pressure, leaving the Tip Feel in the middle is the best, and that's what I did.
Of course, I know that you don't actually need to change a nib if it's just flat since I drew on my previous Wacom tablets without changing the nibs, but with this tablet the texture feels weirdly grippy and rubbery with a flat nib and it's actually noticeably less enjoyable to draw on it with a flat nib than it is with a smooth new nib.
For context, I took out a piece of paper and an HB pencil and compared drawing on that to drawing on the CTL4100. The CTL4100 has a fairly nice texture like paper with light strokes, but is weirdly rubbery and unlike paper when pressing harder. This rubbery feeling becomes more apparent the flatter your nib gets because then the nib then has more surface area to grip the texture.
The drawing experience itself was quite good as you would expect from a Wacom tablet and it draws really well with basically no line wobble and no lag. If you could switch the texture out for a smoother surface like you can on the newest Wacom Intuos Pro 2017, then that would have been nice, but as it is I feel hesitant to recommend it to anyone who intends to use it daily for painting and drawing.
One thing to note is that it is possible that the tablet texture will rub off through continuous use just like on the previous Intuos and Intuos Pro. If that happens, then the pen nibs will stop flattening so quickly. However, I see absolutely no wear on my tablet surface even after flattening my nib, so it may take a while and quite a few nibs to rub off and reduce the surface texture through normal use like you could on previous tablets.
Another very important thing to note is about the bundled software. I know the bundled software sounds like a good deal with the newest CTL4100, but you need to read the fine print that says:
Non-Bluetooth small version = Pick 1 of 2 softwares, either Corel Painter Essentials 6 or Corel Aftershot 3.
Bluetooth small version = Pick 2 of 3 softwares, either Corel Painter Essentials 6, Corel Aftershot 3, or 2-year Clip Studio Paint Pro.
Bluetooth medium version = You can download all 3.
Note that you will not have the option of Clip Studio Paint Pro on the non-Bluetooth small version.
Also note that Clip Studio Paint Pro is only a 2-year license which downgrades to the basic Clip Studio Paint Debut after the 2 years are up. On Wacom's site, there is zero mention of it being a 2-year license. None. Only here on Amazon and on Clip Studio Paint's site do they mention it.
My version didn't have Bluetooth so I'm not commenting on that, and I'm quite sure it's got very good wireless connection based on what people have said about the Intuos Pro 2017 (which also has Bluetooth wireless), but the capability of the Bluetooth wireless does not really save the tablet from the tablets really rough surface.
I think I could have given this tablet a 4 star rating if it came with at least 8-10 pen nibs to address the rough texture, instead of just the 4 nibs that it comes with right now. I just don't see why they would refuse to include more pen nibs when pen nib wear has always been one of the most common complaints about Wacom tablets with their rough paper-like textures.

The wireless part works well when it is functioning correctly. Once in a while, it stops registering pressure and I just have a fat line. It's not too bad though, it only happens a couple of times and it might just be my laptop not registering bluetooth correctly. I'll have to test it out more.
My favourite part of this tablet is the colour!!! THIS PISTACHIO COLOUR WAS MADE FOR ME :D
Anyway it gets the job done and is affordable. I enjoy the wireless part of it but if possible I think you should get an older Intuos where you can buy the wireless accessory.


I would easily recommend this product to anyone looking for a tablet. If you can afford it, this one is the logical choice over other manufacturers.
