How does this compare to the $50 small adorama wireless one. I just want to doodle. Is the larger one worth it?

You commented the same on the small tablet deal as well. this is the medium one. for usb c you would have to spend a lot more with wacom.
Yes I made the same comment for both threads. I purchased a small and two mediums. They are virtually the same in every way other than size. I will be keeping one of the mediums and returning the small and medium. Just received the pro model because I wanted the USB C and tilt function. I didn't know at the time the non pro did not have tilt.

how are you liking the non pro medium? usb c would be nice but is expensive to get the pro. by tilt do you mean pen tilt?

Yeah I was talking about pen tilt. The non pro medium is nice. Might not be the best option for drawing because if lack of pen tilt. Could work for a beginners though. Should handle everything else just fine. It's also very thin and portable which is super nice. The pro feels like it simply shouldn't leave my desk while the non pro could easily slip in beside a laptop on the go. Also the mins should last longer on the non pro as the surface on the pro seems more textured.

If you're an accomplished artist then I highly doubt you're using this. It's worth it for the bigger size, even for the casual artist. I've had both for photoshop and art and it's definitely worth the difference.

I think I would try the $40-$50 first to see if it impresses. I also bought huion. Once I can compare the two.. I'll upgrade based on who gave me more price-to-performance.

What are your thoughts now for Wacom Medium here vs the Huion one?

I ordered this yesterday morning and it came in the evening. My main issue is that it has a micro b USB connection on the tablet and not USB C. It's bugging me enough that I may end up returning it. Otherwise it seems to work well over Bluetooth.

Plugged in and worked out of the box in linux. In Krita, there was a single checkbox for barrel button compatibility that I checked. I may try to hack in a wireless charge pad if it'll fit.

Or just pickup a used Surface Pro 4 m3 4gb $90+, sp4i5 8gb $150+ on ebay....

$20-40 ciscle / renaisser rechargeable pen, or surface pen off ebay used.

Honestly for doodling, far nicer.

Should work fine for that. Main thing that's lacking in function for me would be tilt if using for drawing. All other functions is fine... I did end up opting for the pro model and my girlfriend is now using the non pro as a teacher as a tool for the rare times she has to teach remotely.

I mark up a lot of drawings. Red lines and text boxes on pdfs etc.

Im not sure this would be better than key and mouse..

I tried a cheaper pad and it just wasnt useful enough.. like i would very often have to put the pen down to either do a shortcut via keyboard or reference other things etc as you do..

Which if using a mouse, your hand never leaves the mouse from either using the pc, or working on your drawing..

I feel like id need a nice bit of software to really make a pad shine for marking up drawings more efficiently than normal?

Looking for advice

This exact model (pistachio) is my daily driver pointing device. I don't use a mouse.
I have used all sizes of Wacom tablets over a couple of decades, and what I've found is:

small = most convenient for actually using the computer

large = awful for actually using the computer because you have to move your arm quite a lot to get across the screen. Yes, you can change the settings so that it behaves like a mouse OR designate a smaller portion of the tablet for navigation, but in practice those weren't fun. The big huge upside is that drawing/painting fine details is much easier.

medium = acceptable compromise between small and large but still is a bit too large for actually-using-the-computer and sadly a bit too small for the fine detail work that large is awesome at

That said, I chose medium this time even though I probably should have chosen small based on my ratio of design work vs. everyday actually-using-the-computer.

I don't use tilt often enough to justify the Pro price and preferred the small size/portability of this non-Pro model. But if I could get a Pro for deep discount, I'd buy a Pro.


NOTE: when the battery dies in these, you will find that it is not worth sending it back in to Wacom to replace the battery. Other owners have opened it up and posted photos of the exact battery used including the part number and specs--it is not available anywhere that I know of. However, some people have simply disconnected the battery when it died or bulged too much and use the tablet in wired mode.

If you're not doing curved lines or hand-drawn/hand-written anything, a mouse is far superior to a pen tablet.

I think this would fit in your work flow well but it is an adjustment and learning curve. Luckily this particular tablet lets you bind some short cut keys to it.

It takes practice but this can be used instead of a mouse while you're working and will likely feel more intuitive.
