I have an intuos p+t (from 2013) that can do similar tasks and has similar sensitivity, but not having your stylus hover over the screen inevitably means you interact differently with your work. Most will prefer seeing a screen under their hand. I ended up getting a Huion kamvas 13 (that I haaaaaaaaaate and don't recommend) to even the field. Still use my Intuos as a fallback.
An Intuos is very very good for non artistic tasks (remote learning/tutoring, signing documents, assistive input if you have occupational injuries, etc ). The size and age of Wacom alone means that you'll have good software/driver support too.
And yes it is usable for photo editing. Not the most modern way, but totally usable.
After rebooting, connecting, disconnecting, putting the Chromebook on beta channel and then back to stable... rinse and repeat several times over 20 minutes, nothing worked! I was ready to return the thing.
Just for kicks, before returning it, I thought I'd try it on a Win10 laptop sitting on my desk. It auto-installed a driver and worked great. I plugged it back into the Chromebook and unbelievably... it started working! No driver, rain dance, or other activity required! YMMV.
All I could think of was that it shipped in some state that, on first connection, might be seeking a firmware update or other first-run activity that doesn't reliably complete on Chromebook. Purchased a second unit and had the exact same experience.
TL/DR; connect to a Windows machine and let it fully install before using on a Chromebook (just the first time, when it's brand new). I couldn't find this tip anywhere on Wacom's site, but it worked twice for me. Hope it works for you.

But I could be wrong.

I've had a few of these before and absolutely love them. This is a great price! I will say that the wireless connection has always been spotty for me, with frequent disconnected quite often. YMMV
For photo editing, I personally prefer the Small size as it seems to be easier to just move your wrists versus doing large full hand movements in order to make a "mark"
For drawing, I'd probably recommend a medium or large
so does it or does it not work on chromebooks and android devices?
it sounds like it only does not work on ipad/iphones?

- if this is a wireless device. what kind of battery does it take and is it easily/cheaply replaceable? (1 lithium battery included). I assume it is proprietary and not a AA or AAA lithium from the grocery store?
- do i need to buy additional software (trial subscription is mentioned) or are the free drivers enough?
