Advantages: Easy To Use, Doesn't Take Up Too Much Space

Disadvantages: Can't Buy Replacement Pens

I wanted to buy a graphic tablet but was put off by the high prices. But then I came across the Volito2. This is great value for money especially if you haven't used one before and want to see whether it's for you.

The area may be smaller than some of its dearer competitors (which sell tablets which can be A4 size!) but for beginners this is perfect. Although it is difficult to use if you want to use it for computer art and like to have a big area the compact size of this tablet is more suited to people who just want to try it out. The small size of the graphic tablet means it can fit easily onto a worktop.

The pen also works really well. Being wireless it is easy to use and the two buttons are very easy to access. The software included gives you everything you need to start drawing and provides an excellent tutorial for beginners.

The only downside is that its very hard to buy replacement pens for it as eventually the nib can wear down if you press too hard or from constant use. I did find a place that sells them but it costs the same as the tablet itself from Amazon. But on a brighter note the batteries still have not run out on this pen so you'll know it will last if your careful with it.

Another downside of this product for maybe someone who is looking for a more proffesional product is that it doesn't have all of the features on it that some people may be looking for. It does only have the left and right click buttons and some higher end models have other features such as a built in eraser and more sensitive pressure settings etc. For me this was fine as I wasn't looking for all these but its something to look out for if your interested in these features.

Overall, I would highly recommend this to anyone on a small budget and beginners, but maybe not for people who want a product for a more proffesional use.

Summary: A nice product to get started with a graphic tablet.
