God this looks so AWESOME!
I just found out it was just recently released and will be available in stores in Singapore soon.
New features include a customizable Touch Ring. This makes photoshop work much more convenient as it can be used to change brush size, zoom, opacity, canvas rotation and stuff like that. The Touch Strip of Intuos3 can be customized to only change one thing but since Intuos4 has a toggle button, it can used to change multiple stuffs. Cool.
Intuos4 also has OLED Displays next to their ExpressKey. That way, we won’t forget what we set the ExpressKeys as.
Compared to Intuos3, Intuos 4 also has twice the Pen Pressure Levels and a better Tip Sensor. Also, opening our favorite web browser and email client, or accessing our most often used commands can all be done quickly and simply with the Intuos4 Radial Menus.
Of course, there’s a bunch of other features as well, but I’m not gonna bother posting it all here because I didn’t really read through all of it.
I just bought my Intuos3 last November so chances of me actually buying an Intuos4 are zero. Sad, but true. Money isn’t the only issue. Well, actually, it is. Because if I’m loaded with cash, I would so buy this without a second thought.
But if I think about it, the features of the intuos4 isn’t really that much different from intuos3. I mean, I don’t really care about the pressure sensitivity all that much because I’m fine with the sensitivity of my intuos3. The Touch Ring of i4 would be nice, but the Touch Strip of i3 does it job too and the Radial Menu of i4 isn’t really important to me. The OLED display of i4 is cool but that too isn’t necessary.
I think the reason that really compels me to buy the intuos4 is the design. Seriously.
It looks so damn cool! Stylish! Professional! God it really looks so awesome!
Meh~ Whatever. I guess it’s not really that important. (But God I so want it…) I don’t use the tablet that often anyway. Only if I have the inspiration to do so. And that comes and goes. If I’m a frequent user, then maybe I would think of buying the new intuos. But I’m not. So yeah. Besides, I’m not a professional anyway. I just do it as a ‘for fun’ thing, like a hobby. So it’s not worth buying a new tablet.
