I've got an old intuos 2 I've been using since... 2007? Its been pretty faithful. It's probably not the same one you're talking about since mine was a Special Edition model I got during a sale. Anyway, it's held up pretty good and I cant really complain, though I've never used any other tablet before so I cant give a good comparison. As to durability... this thing's been dropped, lightly stabbed and even had soda spilled on it. The time I was worried the most was when the soda spilled on it. But a day later it worked again and all that was lost was the blue LED light. So, yeah, I'm pretty pleased with it. Most folks I know prefer the older models of Intuos tablets for their reliability. I keep hearing stories of the newer models wearing out/dying really fast. Especially the cables.

I have a Intuos pro M, the older one and it's been awesome for over 2 years now. I imagine the 2 will be even better, so it is definitely worth a look

Haven't used the new one myself, but have read complaints about the surface being too grainy. They do however sell a smoother surface sheet, but kinda sucks since that's an additional cost on top of an already expensive tablet.

Well...... imo the Intuos Pro 1 (basically the same as the Intuos 5 with different buttons) was pretty responsive. For right now, I'd suggest checking ebay for intuos Pro 1's since their prices are depreciating, and the only thing I see with the new one that's totally different spec-wise is wireless + battery is a standard, and the pen has 8096 levels of pressure. The last pro didn't have this grainy surface problem in my experience, but unless you are looking into the latest and greatest modern thing, I think it'd be a good idea to either get the extra surface protector, or just nab a good deal on the last gen Intuos Pro. But that's just my two cents! :y

Wow!
That is a very helpfull review!
Thank you.
I do use SAI and i'm a bit concerned. Might have to do more research on this.

SAI is older software and uses the WINTAB tablet calls. So for any and all pen hardware you want you will need to locate, and download, drivers for that hardware which supports WINTAB.

I don't know what SAI 2 uses.

Clip Studio Paint has a button or switch somewhere under options which tells it to 'listen' for WINTAB tablet input OR use the newer standard. The name of the newer Microsoft stardard seems to keep changing as Touch functionality gets incorporated.

I just recently had to replace my Intuos4 with the Intuos Pro 2 (both medium sized).
The pen is accurate and has good sensitivity and tilt response, the touch ring is a little more sensitive but not in a bad way, the buttons are smaller and don't have an LCD output to show what each one is, but when you place your finger over one for a few seconds it shows them all on the screen until you move your hand. It's a bit annoying because sometimes while I'm drawing I'll absentmindedly rest my hand on my undo or save buttons and the thing comes up, but it's still useful if you think you're using x button when you're actually using y, so eh. It's mostly annoying for me because all my pen settings and layers and everything in SAI are on the left side of my screen, which is where the thing pops up (you can still see through it, though).
The tablet itself has the same amount of drawing space but is less "clunky". It's slimmer and smaller and fits in your lap/on your workspace much easier. They've even added a switch on the side for touch controls, so if you want it to respond to your hand movements on it instead of just the stylus/pen you can have that, too. I never use it, but it's cool.
They also seem to have kept the wireless capabilities like they introduced with the Intuos4. I haven't tried it out yet, myself, so it could just be that the tablet stays active even when it's unplugged (which would be silly).
Also it doesn't come with any installation discs or anything. You just go to the Wacom website and install the latest drivers for your product, and it will install a Desktop Center, where it will keep you up to date with how much battery your tablet currently has, any new drivers that need to be installed, and you can manage all the settings and backups for everything. It's really useful.
I use the Portable version of SAI (which you can download for free) and haven't had any issues using my Pro 2 with it, and the screen mapping works really well for me as well. Haven't had any issues.
Definitely a good purchase for me. Doesn't feel much different from the Intuos4 other than the tablet itself is smaller and sleeker. The drawing surface feels really nice against the pen nibs as well~

Oh sweet, thanks for that!

The newer generations of the Intuous Pros have slightly smaller active surfaces to the older generations, but the number of levels of sensitivity is higher. If you can spare the cash, get a large. Also, look up PhotoDon.com screen protectors. I have been using their products for a good while and highly recommend them. They cut screen protectors to fit the exact dimensions of any device. I have been using the MXC film from their product line. Further, make sure--if you haven't been already--to replace the nib (tip of your stylus) regularly. It is easy to do, most pen holders from Wacom have extra nibs in the base if you unscrew the two halves. I had no idea the base of the holder unscrewed or that there were nibs down there until I looked it up. A worn nib eats your screen up fast. The screen protector will take some getting used to, since it gives the surface a glossier surface. But it saves your tablet. Also, if you don't like the more paper feel Wacom has been trying to put on some of their product line, the protector would solve that issue.

I've been using an Intuos4 PTK-640 for years. Only issues I've ever had was having to reinstall drivers from time to time.

Also, try uninstalling every driver for your tablet that you can find on your computer and installing new drivers from http://www.wacom.com/en/support/pro.....upport/drivers

Thanks!

Fun comment reads I would help but I do not use a pad based art pad. My brain can't get past the disconnect.
I do love my https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B010.....UTF8&psc=1

something about standard art pads that hurt my brain.

I had an intuos pro before upgrading to a cintiq. From my experience with the product, pure excellence. Worked beautifully, and well with the fact that I am an artist on the go, so I was easy to pull out and just work.
