Excellent Product - Best Price
 
Review Date: August 14, 2005
Reviewer: RavenHawk, USA
I researched graphics tablets for several months prior to making this purchase through Amazon.com and I couldn't be happier!

I wanted a graphics tablet specifically as an addition to my Photoshop software and it has made a HUGE difference in not only the control and quality of my restoration projects, but in the speed with which I am now able to work.

Though I've used Photoshop for several years, I am still very much a novice - so anything that can help me work faster obviously means I become more productive.

Throughout my research into graphics tablets, I heard horror stories about pens that were too sensitive or tempermental and work areas that were too small. Prices were also a big concern for me and I nearly fainted the first time I saw the prices for some of the "top-of-the-line" tablets recommended by professional graphic artists. There was no way I could afford to spend as much as $2,500 for anything that my life didn't depend on! The Adesso 8x6 is not only the best size for me, the pen is perfect for my work and within minutes of opening the box and installing the software, I was fast at work. I dare anyone to find the same size tablet with a better price and quality than this one.

For anyone, especially a beginner or someone wanting the convenience of using a tablet without the expense and complications of more expensive models, this is perfect for you. I looked a many tablets from the small 4x6 sizes up to the very large 12x14 models, and of course in nearly every model, the larger the tablet, the bigger the price. Except for this Adesso model. Amazon.com had, by far, the best price for this size tablet, and believe me I looked everywhere - even for the same tablet at major retail stores and everyone else online was at least $15-20 more expensive and most often they only had the 4x6 size.

Although this tablet was only around $105, I purchased the replacement plan from Amazon.com just to be on the safe side. Like I said, price was a big factor for me so I wanted to make certain if anything happened, I would be able to replace the product.

I would recommend this tablet to anyone looking for a great product with the perfect work size for most projects. It's a great tablet, right out of the box, and the additional software "freebies" that are included make it a fantastic deal. With this tablet you will be able to add tremendously to what you are able to do with even your basic projects.

Good Luck and have fun.

I've used the Wacom brand (Intuos/Graphire) tablet at school and it's a beautiful piece of technology. But with the budget that I'm on at the moment, I couldn't afford buying one of those professional little gadgets. As an alternative, my brother bought this for me for my birthday. When he told me that it would come, I immediatly came to Amazon to check out the ratings and I was a little afraid with there only being three...two not giving it a high score. I went onto the products web site and saw that it wasn't compatible to Photoshop CS2. I was very afraid! But I just received it today and it's way better than I expected it to be. I highly reccomend it to anybody. If you have Adobe Photoshop CS2...don't follow the warning on their website because it's working with mine just fine.
Adesso hits the mark with the CyberTablet 8600!

Adesso has a great product. This tablet works with all of my programs. Even my word processor (Lotus WordPro). This is my first digital tablet experience and I am pleased with it's performance. I considered the Watcom 4x6, but saw this one at 8x6 for a much lower price. Some will tell you that you get what you pay for, but we all know that is not always true. There are times when the lower priced product will be better or better suited for you than the higher priced one.

This table comes with a wireless pen and mouse. While the box says it comes with tweezers to replace the pen tip, I did not find one in the box anywhere. The software is usable, especially the Office Ink handwriting recognition program. I just started the program, used the pen to sign my name in my document, selected the "Write" icon (a Large 'W') and it recognized my handwriting and created a bitmapped image in the document. Yes, you will need to adjust the Frame properties if you want the text to show underneath the writing. It worked in both of my office suites: IBM/Lotus SmartSuite 2003 and MS Office 2003.

The mouse, while useful, I hardly ever used. You may have to adjust the default settings which cause the pen to be rather sensitive. And changing the default buttons assignments on the pen may help for your style. I chose 13% senstivity for the pen and it works fine. Plus, the tablet is HUGE enough you can set it on your lap and go! I tried it even on the artPad.com web site - it works for web pages. In fact, in works in any application that has mouse/drawing support, even Flash web sites.

The tablet has 16 function keys that do work as specified. However, at times the program link may faulter and won't load the app. This is solved by browsing to the program folder directly, and not using the Star Menu locations. But it loads my other programs just fine.

The only CON is that it does not include a manual, not an issue for Pros, but Novices will miss it. Though the programs do have online help. All in all the Adesso 8x6 CyberTablet 8600 was a great purchasing descicion for me. I reccommend it it f yiou are looking for a tablet.

Superb device -- but you can get it cheaper!
 
Review Date: February 12, 2007
Reviewer: Gautam Rao, Ann Arbor, MI
The exact same device is also sold as the Genius G-Note 7000. In the latter form it retails for up to 50 dollars less than the Cyberpad. However, the Genius package comes without the portfolio, the rechargeable batteries and charger. Also, no handwriting recognition software is included in the Genius bundle. However, my impression is that the handwriting recognition tool that comes with the Cyberpad is not very usable anyway (cant interface easily with evernote / onenote etc), so that wasnt a big deal to me. You can get excellent batteries and chargers -- probably better than what comes with the adesso -- for the 50 dollars you save.

It works great for me -- both as a tablet (for taking math notes, not for artwork) and as a portable note-taker. The quality in the latter mode is superb (very surprising).

I had no problems with the installation (i made sure to uninstall my puny wacom tablet first).

The tiny recessed usb port is not *too* much of a problem, though somewhat irritating. I just leave the cord plugged in to the tablet, and only disconnect the laptop end while traveling.

Well designed
 
Review Date: September 17, 2006
Reviewer: jj2me, Red Bank, NJ United States
I've only used this with Evernote Plus and in standalone (writing on paper) mode. I already had Evernote Plus to use on my Sony U750P, which allows inking on the touchscreen. So why did I buy this? Because it's instant-on. Waiting for a PC to start up is a chore for entering little things.

Sorry, haven't used it as a Tablet, nor used any of the bundled software, so can't speak to those features. Have had zero problems, though the USB connection is not recognized properly on USB ports on my computer's docking station--it sees something but doesn't know what it is. But when I connect to the computer's USB slot, the Cyberpad always gets recognized.

I appreciate the thought they put into making this simple but complete. Nice buttons that are pretty obvious in their functions, battery life indicators for the pad and the pen, generous inclusion of the right batteries (NiMH for the pad which uses batteries quickly, alkaline for the pen which uses batteries slowly) and a good charger (indicator light for when it's done charging, and smart enough to then trickle charge), an indicator on the LCD of whether the current file/page is blank or not (I've screwed up several times by not paying attention and wrote on top of previous notes), a pen icon indicator on the LCD of when the pen is sending to the pad. Nice zippered portfolio, too, though it doesn't fit spare batteries and charger (or at least it appears that you'd scrunch too much and possibly damage the pad if you stuffed them in).

I haven't had a need for the SD slot, as the built-in memory is quite enough, but it's nice to have the possibility to use an SD card for transferring notes if something were to go wrong with the USB connection (or maybe Windows Vista won't work with the Adesso driver?).

You'll have to download the manual from adesso's site, because the one on the CD won't let you write to disk--a pain to load a CD just to look up a function. The pen is also a bit fat for me.

In the Evernote forum, a couple of people have damaged their pens because they thought they'd have to push hard to get signal through all that paper (I have maybe 40 sheets of paper on average). Not necessary, there's a simple contact that the refill makes when you write. So I've been careful to be gentle.

I like it, no problems, regular paper, regular writing (though my line and word spacing is more than usual to help Evernote's handwriting recognition). And thanks to the reviewer below, GradStudent, for telling us how to make this work with OneNote, which makes it more versatile.
CyberPad Works
 
Review Date: March 16, 2007
Reviewer: Rebecca Preston, Tampa Florida
We are all drowning in data and looking for a tool that will help. I have tried many different tools and programs but overall this seems to work. The CyberPad enables me to keep all of my notes based on folder names and pages. Folders are from A to Z and the pages 1 to 99. So I can have 26 topics and 99 inputs in each one. I think that will cover me for some time to come. I do a lot of consulting and project work. So going back and forth to one document on the pad is great.

Reading the reviews of others has helped me a lot in being able to use this product without any problems. First read the instructions which say to install the software. That way the hardware is found and usable. There were several notes about the use of the usb termination into the CyberPad. Knowing that is an issue I have a long usb cable attached to my desktop on my desk that is easy to install to the unit, the case can get in the way. The EverNote Software alone (Beta Version2) is worth the price of the pad. I have been a big user of MS OneNote but think that EverNote alone is worth the price of CyberPad.
