Wacom One tablet used to control Adobe Photoshop.

Wacom has been the go-to name for drawing tablets for as long as I can remember (over three decades), and I've owned a number over the years. In fact, I still regularly use amedium-sized Wacom Intuos Pro drawing tablet, and find it super handy for working in Adobe Photoshop, Lightroom, and Premiere Pro.  

Once you experience the precision and intuitiveness of using a pen rather than a mouse or trackpad -- which all of a sudden feels very primitive -- there's no going back.

But what about a drawing tablet that has a screen? I'd never used one before and questioned how much I'd get out of one.

But theWacom One changed all of that.
