Quick Takes: A Tablet That Clicks

Wacom's Intuos 3 tablet gets a new look.

Graphics pros will notice a new look to Wacom's Intuos 3 tablet. Gone is the row of function keys that graced previous models; instead, it features four programmable buttons, called ExpressKeys, and a Touch Strip that works like a mouse wheel. The new $330 6-by-8-inch model and the $450 9-by-12-inch unit each have a set of buttons on each side, but the $200 4-by-5-inch model has only one set of buttons, on the left (sorry, southpaws).
