the drivers could very well suck asshole for you. the nibs and drawing surface were designed together to wear down at an accelerated rate, with the drawing surface being made out of what is essentially sandpaper, and the nips being made of glorified moistened gelatin, basically creating a printer ink business model. you can buy a smooth texture sheet for the tablet, and even then i have heard that the 1st party sheet still has enough bite that it doesn't reduce nib wear that much and you have to get a 3rd party smooth sheet to get what the 1st party sheet should have done. basically they invented a disease out thin air just so they could sell you the cure, and even then it isn't a cure, it's just a treatment that reduces the symptoms.

as far as cost is concerned, it costs a retarded amount of money for what it is, compared to competitor's products which do the same thing and function just as well, if not significantly better because wacom hired a retard to program their software. wacom is only the industry leader in name and in the perception of people who keep it this way as an established formality, kind of like how adobe is the industry leader now only because a lot of places like educational establishments and a lot of professional jobs won't hire you or work with you unless you know how to use adobe shit and use and own adobe shit. it's a very artificial and superficial way of being the "industry leader" of your industry.
