Wacom Intuos Pro large is perfect for illustration, painting, or photo editing on a Mac or PC. This super-slim, compact pen tablet is built to last and features a 12-inch active area, three unique creative application tools, and the state-of-the-art Wacom Pro Pen 2.
- A comfortable Wacom Pro Pen 2 is sensitive to pressure and tilt, has two programmable buttons, you can use its tip as an eraser. Built-in Bluetooth helps get rid of wires on the desktop. After adapting to many customizable functions, you will appreciate the speed and convenience of the workflow, not comparable with the use of a mouse or trackpad.
- I have a model PTK-640 Wacom tablet and my cat knocked my grip pen out of it's holder and I haven't seen it since. If I do not find the pen in the next few days, I will need to buy a new pen. I like the fact that the Pro Pen comes with a case that would provide kitty protection.
