Old trust tablet vs Intuos Pro?

mikelvir · Aug 2018

Hello,

Until now I have used an old trust tablet: https://www.trust.com/en/product/15358-wide-screen-design-tablet-tb-7300

Although it does the job, the pen shortcuts don't work anymore. I am used to it's precision, but it might be way better with another tablet.

So, an Intuos Pro is way better right? But is the change worth it?

Thanks in advance.

I haven't used that, but I have no doubt that an Intuos would be far better.
I've never heard of that brand, let alone the model. Not only does it look extremely dated, but it doesn't seem to even be made anymore.

Thanks, I wasn't too sure about that. The tablet was indeed old... I'll probably buy an intuos one of these days.

I heard of that brand but never in combination with the word "tablet"

Congrats to your decision, please come back and report if and how the new tablet is better

Used Wacom's can still work beautifully.

I have an intuos now. These are the (fairly obvious) improvements noticed:

1. Way higher response.

2. No batteries.

3. Well-functioning shortcuts.

4.Slimmer.

5. Better pen shape and weight.

6. Improvements are even more noticeable when 3d sculpting.

It is surely better to have an Intuos. Still, my old tablet was not too bad... So it's an advisable change, but it would'nt have mattered to wait more time if I had not had the money.

Thank you all for the responses!

Seems like it was worth the replacement

Is the pen nib-consumption on the new intuos pro really that high?

I have a Huion GT 190 with 9(!) Nibs and i never replaced the initial one within 2.5 years
