An optional set of wireless dongles cuts the cord. They're not as big as they appear in the photoWacom has just revamped its Bamboo tablet lineup, replacing the current Touch, Pen and Pen & Touch models with the Bamboos Connect, Capture and Create.
These new names will take a little more explaining than the old ones.
The entry level Connect ($80) is a pen-only model, a little larger than an iPad, and with a smaller bezel and thinner body than the previous Bamboos.
The Capture is the same size, but adds multitouch and the option to go wireless. This is done with an add-on set of dongles (one for the tablet, one for the computer) and a battery pack. This pack costs another $40 on the $100 price of the Capture.
The $200 Create is essentially a bigger version of the Capture, with multi-touch, wireless option and a large 8.5 x 5.4-inch touch area (and a 13.8 x 8.2-inch).
I used to use Wacom tablets all the time, back in another life as a graphic designer. I have the now-previous generation Pen & Touch, but almost never use it thanks to my dual Magic Trackpad setup. For editing photos and drawing on the computer, though, there’s really nothing like a proper tablet, and Wacom’s are still the best. Aside from their horrible driver software, that is.
All three tablets are available now.
