This review is from: Trust Flex Ultra-Thin Design 6 x 4.6 inch Tablet with Ergonomic Wireless Pen (Electronics)
So yeah, as a first tablet I wasn’t hoping or expecting much, and was really looking to try one out rather than take the thing seriously..
The good: Well, it’s flexible – A bonus as it goes in my Uni bag without cracking or being too bulky. It’s aapparently beer proof! Had a friend spill a pint over it and as long as it doesn’t hit the main metal cover it’s all dandy after a wipe – Great bit of kit! It’s small, and light. VERY portable, just what I wanted! It’s precise! Every stroke is spot on and after an hour of messing I feel completely at home with it!
The Bad: Not alot really, still on the first battery, first nib, etc.. nothing’s had to be replaced or tampered with so everything’s fine for me! On occasion the touch-click doesn’t work for 5-6 secs, but I believe thats an issue with my laptop as it doesn’t do it on anything else but either way it’s extremely rare.
Overall: Graphic artist? Birthday present? Young or old, it’s fit for everyone and after taking it to my lectures a few times, everyone now has one and it’s great for my Games Development course – I have to say it’s completely replaed my mouse and even if I wasn’t doing a tech course, I’d still use it over a mouse now I’ve got it to compare them to!
*Although, gamers will still want to keep hold of a mouse for FPS, etc.. For RTS games (Command & Conquer style) this thing rocks!

After wanting a graphics tablet for a while I finally decided to buy this tablet by Trust as it was a very good price and had good reviews. When I received the tablet in the post (which arrived on time) I set it up on my computer straight away to have a go. It comes with a piece of design software called Artweaver which I haven’t actually used yet, i just had a little look at the features 🙂 At first I found drawing on the pad quite difficult to use, but after 15 mins of messing around i started to get more used to it. I have to admit I gave up trying to draw after about half an hour but when i started using it again later that evening i really started to get into it and it became so much easier! I’ve had it for about a week now, and i’m in the middle of a drawing at this very moment! You don’t need to lean on a hard surface; i’m lying on my bed and i’m finding it very easy to draw 🙂 I’ve taught myself how to draw eyes and noses and right now i’m trying to perfect shading 😀 not gonna lie, it’s looking good haha. I’m a graphics kinda person and i’m pretty good on computers but i’m so bad a drawing! so this is really helping me! I’m using free design software called SmoothDraw which is great! It even recognises that i’m using a graphics tablet and i can set the pressure scale etc. If you do want a graphics tablet i would recommend getting used to a piece of graphics software as it helps to know all the different features. For example, I’ve only just found out how to use layers on SmoothDraw which is a great feature. Since I am a really bad drawer and I’ve been creating great drawings within 1 week, i’d have to say this is a great graphics tablet! I feel like an artist! There are no flaws! The size is fine because I zoom into my drawings anyway and I think if the drawing area was larger then it would be harder to use. I hope this review is helpful! You really can’t go wrong with the product, just don’t give up if you find it difficult!

I am not an artist, I am a techie; I spend a lot of time capturing ideas in graphical form. I am used to drawing on whiteboards, taking a photo and inserting that into documents or scanning drawings on paper. For many situations, this setup is a convenient alternative. Its portable, easy to use and helps me avoid paper pile-up. It also permits more than one virtual ‘whiteboard’ to be on the go and it does work with group situations with the relevant projection equipment. I’ve been using it with SmoothDraw software. Having decided to keep the image I either save it as a .jpg and/or use the snipping tool to paste a screen capture into a word document to illustrate ideas and concepts. Its become really useful.
