FYI, this is not the newest 2019 version. Still an awesome price!! And it does have wireless built in.
I hsve large and figured it too big of we wanted to lay it on our lap; for just being half serious or laid back drawing. It fits laps pretty good, does take up some real estate on desk or table.

Imo, always get best and or biggest that fits your budget. Also to considered is space have or planned for your own workspace.

Wacom is good product no matter which one u get

I can't go back to tablets used on desks after drawing directly on screen. An iPad Pro + Pencil is definitely worth it after up-fronting the costs.

Please excuse my ignorance. We will be purchasing one of these this year for an animation class. It doesn't say whether to get the small or medium. Do any of you have an opinion on which size? I'm tempted to just go ahead and get this one.

I would go for the medium. If you have the cash to spare then get a large. The more space to work with the better. Dont forget you can only draw on the active area on the tablet.

They all take some getting used to, so the size for these doesn't matter much. In the end you can do the same thing with a small one then with a large one. This one looks about just right, not to small not too large. The only thing not sure its this model exactly but from experience (with an intuos 4?) bad soddering on the usb connection. They stop charging and connecting. And the only way to use it- is to take the battery out, charge it with a universal charger and use it via the bluetooth adaptor

As someone who's been using a wacom for several years, and tried all sizes, I love the small. Anything larger than a small and you start move your whole arm at the elbow versus just moving your wrist with the small. You still have plenty of precision with the small.

I've used small, medium, and large in a classroom setting (but not for animation specifically). And I've found the medium to be just right for my purposes. The large is huge, but I don't feel like I've got as much control on the small.

Answers claim it includes the Wireless adapter kit; that sells for about $35 on Amazon alone, should work for compatible Wacom units..

Are you serious about becoming an animator?

If so, larger the better because you can work on fine details easier without zooming and scrolling about.

There is a reason the bigger 27+" Wacoms are used at Disney for creating their animations.

With a small tablet, imagine trying to work on the eyelashes of a character, then the body. You'd have to have super fine control of the pen without zooming, assuming the small tablet active surface area is working on the full character image.

Portability isn't an issue for animation because you'd have a proper tilting desk or tilting tablet and would be there all day for work.

...

For casual use - why?
Take out a 4x6" photo - that's about the size of the small. If you imagine "editing" whatever you want to do on an area of that size, is that comfortable? Do you think it'll offer you the detail level while drawing? Or is portability more important?

...

Microsoft Surface >> iPad by far.

Every Animation, Photo Editing, 3D, SFC, etc software is available on the PC, which means you can get work done without.any compromise.
iPad? Doesn't even have the full versions of major animation and photo editing software, so you can forget about doing real work especially, collaborating in animation teams.
