Had an Intuos 3 6x8, no problems(sold it). Should I get another 3, and avoid the new stuff, or is the Art and/or Intuos 5 just as good(surface, nib wear)? TL;DR - Intuos 3 > Intuos Art/Draw > Intuos 5 > Intuos 4 ? Thx, bros! EDIT: This baller grip DOES NOT fit Intuos 3 pens!; only 4 & 5... -sadface-
Ok, so Intuos 4 = JUNK then, amirite? thomasp said: And it sounds like Intuos 5 is NOT an improvement over 4... So, how does Intuos Art/Draw compare :?
in my experience it's all the same really. even intuos 1 should still be fine. i used to use a series 2 until last week when it broke. as long as you are comfortable with the pen shape and have no need for the tablet-buttons or the context menu stuff (all disabled on my series 5 here anyway), you can go with whatever model…

The only noticeable difference is the convenience of the new tablets - wireless and touch. I tend to disable the…
all it means is that you can't go wrong with any of the intuos series but that not every new feature they added was exactly a game changer or even necessary. along the way they managed to iterate often enough that nothing on the 5 stands out as really annoying and a few things that were on the 4 have been smoothed over.…
yes, you can use the same nibs across all of the intuos pens. as for the usb port - careful with that, it's in plain sight on the 5 medium where the arms tend to move around a lot and the connection feels a little wobbly on both of mine out of the box. i don't understand that choice of placement at all when they had it out…
I just upgraded from my Intuos 3 to an Intuos Pro (which I understand are basically the 5's) medium. Reasons for my upgrade were mostly desk space/convenience - I had an old Intuos 3 large which was a beast that didn't completely fit in front of my monitor on my desk, and a lot of that space was wasted (needing to disable…
