Review: Graphics tablets enable you to enhance your computer usage by letting you add signatures to your documents and easily draw or edit your photos in a much simpler way. Offering 1024 levels of pen pressure sensitivity and bundled with Adobe Photoshop Elements 7, ArtRage 2.5 Drawing Software and Pen Suite for Windows XP/2000 users, the 5.5" x 4" Adesso CyberTablet Z7 allows you to do just that. It is USB powered so you won't need an additional power adapter. This also makes it ideal for those who want something more portable and easy to carry from home to work and vice versa. The 2-button pen fits larger-sized hands since it is bigger than those included in other tablets at 5.4" x 0.75". It requires one AAA battery though, adding a little weight to the pen. With the Z7's 100 RPS report rate, you are sure that it is responsive, in addition to being precise and accurate. The 9 programmed hotkeys is a helpful addition, providing easy access to commonly-used applications. Build quality is also comparable to higher-priced tablets. It is constructed with high-quality plastic and rubber feet which make it durable and allow it to stand still on the desk. You can use it with Windows 7, Vista, XP and 2000 or Macintosh OS 9 and OS X. The photo editing software encourages creativity and is easy to use even for novices. The Z7 also comes supplied with a USB cable for easy connection and two manuals for Mac and Windows. Whether you're buying one for note-taking and signing or for more serious and professional purposes like drawing or editing, the Adesso CyberTablet Z7 is worth considering. It is priced much cheaper but in terms of quality and usability, the difference is hardly noticeable, even when compared to more expensive tablets.
