To remove any ambiguity: - Tablet comes without any software (excluding driver); - Non-autonomous tablet to plug into a computer The tablet does its job perfectly and I am very happy with its use. However, at the time the "all touch", I wonder about such a high price (compared to "non-plotters" who are real perfectly autonomous computers). Knowing nothing about the price can be justified by a higher sensitivity to the stylus or a particularly good color processing ... The fact that the tablet is not independent is the most annoying aspect (although an effort was made to bring together in a single cable connection to the three - including mains connection). Good stuff; it seems that produces standalone Wacom tablets: I would advise to go in this direction.
