Not sold on screenless drawing tablets? This new Wacom won me over
May 15, 2025
ZDNET's key takeaways
The Wacom Intuos Pro (2025) tablet starts at $250 for the small, $380 for the medium, and $500 for the large size.
This drawing tablet has a lot of improvements over previous generations, including an enlarged working area, more customization power, a new pen, and topside buttons.
But the new Intuos Pro doesn't support multi-touch functionality and is also expensive, with other creatives' favorites available at cheaper prices.
I should probably preface this by saying I'm not a professional artist. I consider myself crafty more than artistic, but I have reviewed my fair share of tablets, and was excited to test the new Wacom Intuos Pro .
As a crafty person, I've taken up a lot of artsy hobbies like graphic design and bullet journaling, which includes some drawing and creativity. And while I've used different types of tablets for these hobbies, I'd only used a screenless drawing tablet once for a short period of time, but that one was too buggy to work with. The Wacom Intuos Pro 2025, however, pleasantly surprised me.
The 2025 Wacom Intuos Pro isn't your old Wacom graphic tablet. It has the same reliability as the older models, so you can likely depend on it for years to come. However, Wacom really made a point of listening to its users' feedback to make purposeful changes to its flagship tablet. Some of those changes include a new, more advanced pen, moving the dials and buttons from the side to the top, and thinner bezels to allow a larger working area on the tablet's surface.
