Advantages: big area, good pen, pressure sensitive

Disadvantages: only for the pro, needs lots of software

The hyperpen 6000 is a fairly uncommon input device for the pc/laptop.It is un-common because most manufacturers put a mouse in the package so the consumer doesn't buy their own pointing device.Manufacturers dont include them because peole only need to click on things but dont have to draw,and if they do then they use their mouse which is more acurate than freehand.

Most people use their keyboard to write because it is a lot neater and can be done at a much heigher speed by a professional user.

But if you need to write letters that have to look personal and it is required that you use your hand writing then this product is for you.This product is perfect because it has a good writing area so you can write without having to keep starting at the beggining of the board again.

This product is perfect for drawing because it has a good screen size but is also pressure sensitive so when you draw the colours will be lighter or darker depending on how hard you press.It also has a well shaped pen so if you are drawing a complicated object then you will be able to do all kinds of staights and corners with ease.

So in conclusion I would recomend this pen to the user who has a definate need for it but not to someone who just wants to draw.My advice to anyone who wants this to draw odd drawings now and the is to get a pen and papper and leave this 'weird' peice of kit to those professionals.
