Best Wacom tablets

The Wacom Cintiq is a professional drawing tablet at an amazing value. Even for beginners, this tablet will be the perfect device to fit your workload for the rest of your life. It’s an easy-to-use tablet with a built-in screen and HD clarity.

The Cintiq 16 has an LCD display with 4K resolution and an image size of 1920x1080p. It comes with foldable legs that adjust to a 19° incline in seconds, so users can choose a position that fits their comfort levels. The pen is a super-responsive Pro Pen 2, which offers 8,192 levels of pressure sensitivity, tilt response, and virtually lag-free tracking. It also has two customizable switches that allow for easy access to shortcuts.

This one comes in two sizes, the 15.6-inch, and the 22-inch. If you’re a pro, you should probably already know your preferences, but if you are an entry-level animator or illustrator, I would recommend the 15.6-inch screen, as it’s much cheaper and will be easier to handle.

This device is the best budget Wacom tablet you’ll find on the market. Additionally, the Wacom Intuos might be the most-sold Wacom, given its simplicity and price. This tablet does not come with a built-in screen, making it a difficult entry-level device. Even though it will be hard at the beginning to use this tablet, with time it will get simpler. I have never seen somebody that doesn’t eventually get used to this type of non-display tablet. 

This Wacom is the perfect balance between functionality and affordability. It has an 8.5 x 5.3-in active drawing area and a great pen with 4,096 levels of pressure, which is pretty close to what a pro will use. 

This is one of the best Wacom tablets to pick if you are a pro designer. The Wacom Cintiq Pro 32 offers a 4K graphic drawing monitor and 99% Adobe RGB (DTH3220K0). The 31.5-inch display is Wacom’s largest available screen, enabling users to illustrate, draw, animate and design anything that comes to their mind. It also has a True-to-life color with 99% Adobe RGB & 97% sRGB color performance and 1.07 billion colors (10 bits of color). Basically, the color you choose will be the color you get.

It has the best stylus known thus far, Wacom’s Pro Pen 2, which has 8,192 levels of pressure sensitivity, outstanding tilt recognition, zero parallaxes, and virtually lag-free tracking. Keep in mind that this is a 32kg tablet, making it rather difficult to move about within your bag. This is a studio tablet for professional work.

You won’t find anything better than the Wacom MobileStudio Pro 16. The reason why we didn’t choose this as our favorite is due to its price. This is an expensive tablet. However, if you are a pro and like to use the absolute most top-tier device, this should be the one to go with.

The Wacom MobileStudio Pro 16 is a tablet that doesn’t need a computer to work because it is its own computer. It is powered by an Intel i7- 8559U processor, 16GB system memory, 512GB SSD, and also has Thunderbolt 3 connectivity, so you can easily run full versions of software like Photoshop, Illustrator, and 3DS Max. 

If you’re worried about the screen capacity, don’t be. It has a high-resolution 15.6” 4K/UHD (3840×2160) screen with up to 85% Adobe RGB coverage (CIE1931) and an included three-angle adjustable Wacom Stand. You can’t go wrong with the colors displayed on this tablet. And, last but not least, it will ensure smooth post-processing thanks to the powerful Nvidia Quadro P1000 graphic card.
