I've been holding off reviewing this until I could get a bit of use out of it. 

First of all, this mirrors your display and is a pretty straight-forward hookup process. You're supposed to be able to use this whether you are left or right-handed. Well... I happen to be left-handed and I can't get it to switch over no matter what I do. I've tried the driver, I've tried fiddling with the settings. Nothing makes it work that way. All I get it the right-handed display option and have to use the pen in my left hand. This wouldn't be bad if all the hotkeys weren't on the left side. This renders them basically useless. 

Besides that, I have only one other gripe with this. Sometimes the pen "skips" on the screen. I can be retouching a photo in Photoshop, or drawing in Illustrator and the pen/cursor will jump an inch or two. It's not a massively big deal, but it does cost me time and double the effort of going back and hitting undo and then remaking whatever I was making. I would recommend this display tablet for those with a limited budget have the patience for dealing with glitches and inaccuracies with the pen cursor tracking. For professionals whose time is money, they may want to look elsewhere.

The color is true to form and reflects the exact colors I see on-screen on my calibrated laptop. So that's nice as well. 

Since I got this for the $62 price point instead of the $349.99 that it's advertised at, I won't complain too much. It works, but if I paid $350 for it, I wouldn't be happy with it. Perhaps driver updates in the future will help render this more useful in my everyday job as a graphic designer. Until then, I'll just be using it to play here and there and stick with the mouse. I actually have better control with the mouse than I do with this pen/tablet combo. (And its not for lack of trying and effort)
