I was a bit unsure at first, but this product was definitely worth the buy. I'm not sure how it works for MAC users, but it works wounderfully for XP and Vista. My only problem is that the Stylus won't read until I start up photoshop on my XP. But on a Vista, the system reconfigures perfectly for it.Wacom has better quality tablets, but the size and features on the Genius beats it hands down with the price. Any other company would sell for maybe $300+.I HIGHLY recommend getting it if you're after your starter tablet, or if you just don't have much money to spend.
