Bamboo Splash - a good unit combines both powerful specs and friendly interface

I have an entire passion about art. Unfortunately, due to usual demands for adulthood, I haven’t been away from drawing since I studied in university 20 years ago. I am also slow on creating graphic arts as software and specialized tablet seem too pricey.

Bamboo Splash is designed to aim at users like me: newbie or people who are in the transitional between paper and computer. Splash succeeds as a good tablet having good designing program (ArtRage Studio) which costs $79.

I am quite doubtful about the tablet which has such low price. However, Wacom exceeds my expectation. Splash seizes 11x7cm, with good build quality. In comparison with iPad, it’s thinner and longer. Stylus is as long as a marker and you can attach it in a drain aside the tablet. There’re also 4 small rubber feet holding the tablet firmly to prevent my cat from moving it away.

The tablet seems modest in size, standing beside MacBook. And, it is compact to enough to be stored in drawer. Working with it is comfortable, too. During my test, I didn’t draw on it all day but in short time (about 1 hour) and my hand didn’t get cramp.

This device’s most completed one is ArtRage Studio program. I always bore in mind that the golden standard for drawing software should be Corel Painter. Painter has stuff that ArtRage doesn’t yet it costs $395. Besides, newbie artists are likely to purchase this model to get ArtRage which is faster and less disappointing. Aside from ArtRage Studio and Autodesk SketchBook Express (also included), Splash works well with pressure sensitive styluses.

Key features

For $79, Splash is a good unit combining well designed hardware and user-friendly software. It would be great for any photographers who want a compact tablet for editing photos because it is small enough to be put in laptop bag. If you know something about drawing, Splash and ArtRage Studio will help you to release your inside Michelangelo.

This tablet would be great for any photographers who want a compact tablet for editing photos because it is small enough to be put in laptop bag.
