One of the great perks of this tablet is that it’s compatible with pens from a variety of brands including Staedtler, Lamy and Samsung.

Nevertheless, I love that the device does come bundled with some software offers, which vary depending on your region;- this is a huge selling point for entry-level creatives. Again, none of the above is a huge surprise on a lower-end pen display marketed toward students and beginners, but it’s something to consider if you’re downgrading from a Cintiq tablet, transitioning from an Intuos paired with a high-end display or are looking for a tablet to extend into professional work later down the line. Film-makers, animators, special effects artists and designers around the globe keep on choosing Wacom as their favorite creative brand.

Engage with the Wacom One community for videos, articles, activities and training to inspire and excite your imagination and help you get the most from your Wacom One. This tablet is slim, Android-compatible and incredibly affordable for a Wacom display, though its portability is somewhat hindered by a bulky array of cables and the need for a power outlet. for pen display models or from Small and Medium for pen tablet models to suit the scale of your creations. But, when faced with the Apple iPad Pro and Microsoft Surface Pro’s ever-growing popularity in the art community, can Wacom retain the same appeal with its own budget pen display? The pen is cordless, battery-free with 4096 levels of pressure and a programmable side-switch to put shortcuts at your fingertips.

If you don’t care about programmable keys, but do want something a little more interactive, I’d recommend the iPad Air as a strong alternative to the Wacom One. This is particularly frustrating when you consider how easily the spacious bezel could have housed a handful of Express Keys. The precise Wacom One Pen and the nearly A4/Letter-sized canvas let you comfortably personalize your images or videos, boosting your editing skills in the process. The surface strikes a perfect balance between canvas and screen that stops the glass from feeling too slippery and like a standard tablet display.Lightly wipe the moistened cloth on the hard, nonporous surfaces of your Wacom product, such as the display, or other exterior surfaces. While it’s designed to be more of an entry-level offering, this tablet delivers fantastic value for money and some great specs. Note that there’s no VESA mount, if you did want to make the drawing tablet part of a more professional setup, nor does the tablet have any programmable shortcut keys.

Mix and match this Wacom One Pen Champagne Gold rear case with Wacom One Standard Pen (CP92303B2Z), Wacom One pen front white case (ACK44929WZ) or gray case (ACK44929GZ). On the top of the device, you’ll find the charging port, a fabric stylus holder, and the power button.

If you’re happy to keep your keyboard close and don’t mind dragging the Window back to your laptop or PC every so often to verify the colours on a more accurate display, you’ll find very little to complain about here.

People know how to use it because it looks and feels like a physical whiteboard and yet it is fast and fluid with remote participants. Optimized for Wacom devices, enjoy the power of instant creativity without needing to install a single thing. We use industry standard tests to compare features properly and we use the tablet as our main device over the review period. From learning to draw and edit photos to collaborating in online classes or completing academic assignments with natural handwriting, One by Wacom brings an easy to use digital pen to PC, Mac and most Chromebooks.While it’s purportedly aimed at professionals, its cheaper build and a couple of less-than-ideal quality issues make it better for slightly experienced but not-yet-pro creatives. After spending an hour or so in different programs to stress test the performance of the tablet, I spent about 8 hours working on a small project to get a feel for how the tablet handles all stages of the creative process, from sketching and planning to final touches.
