About.com takes a look at the Intuos5

In 1989, Wacom introduced the first cordless, battery-free, pressure-sensitive pen tablet and has since become the leading graphics tablet manufacturer, with a well-deserved reputation for excellence. Intuos5 is the newest of Wacom's professional line of graphics tablets for Windows and Mac, featuring multi-touch capability, a new slimmer design in matte black soft touch finish, improved software and settings, and a wireless option. Like the previous model, Intuos5 supports tilt control and 2048 levels of pressure sensitivity--the highest sensitivity of any graphics tablet available today. Intuos5 comes in three sizes to accommodate a variety of user requirements.
