About Wacom One 12 Drawing Tablet with Screen (2023)
Overall Feedback:
71% positive
66% appreciated the battery life, though 34% found it drained quickly
I love that there are no batteries or charging required for the device.
When using a powerful program, the battery life drains quickly.
I have found that the tablet requires a computer and wall power to function, and it lacks a battery even if a laptop is available.
I expected the Wacom One to last as long as my Bamboo, which is still working perfectly after 8 years.

69% appreciated the customizable options, but 31% found them limited
I had to be careful not to misconfigure settings, but eventually kept everything at default and everything is working great.
The tablet has a way to change display settings, but it doesn't fix the issue of off colors, especially blues, purples, and pinks.
84% praised the drawing accuracy, while 16% experienced some lag
The drawing experience is good once I get used to the slight parallax. It is very pressure sensitive and has almost zero latency/lag if I have a powerful computer. Tilt sensitivity works great.
The drawing experience is good once I get used to the slight parallax. It is very pressure sensitive and has almost zero latency/lag if I have a powerful computer. Tilt sensitivity works great as well.
I find it hard to adjust to the difference in colors between my monitor screen and my drawing tablet screen.
The cursor appears 1/4th of an inch away from where I press and calibration did not fix this problem.
73% praised the durable construction, but 27% faced issues
I want to wait for a decent amount of time to write a review so that I can attest to the durability of the product. I bought it 6 months ago and I am extremely happy with it.
My stylus nib is durable and does not show any signs of wear like my older tablets and pen nibs.
I hope the tablet is durable even though I don't plan to abuse it.
I have been using the tablet for 6 months and am extremely happy with its durability.

72% liked the portable design, though 28% found it bulky
I have started taking this portable tablet everywhere.
I am obsessed with the portability of this tablet. I compared it to the iPad and the pen and display finish feel so much better. It just fits in my bag and goes, so I take it everywhere.
The screen size of 13.3 is sufficient for me to write and draw on.
I find the 13.3 size at a 16:9 aspect ratio too short vertically.

86% appreciated the pressure sensitivity, though 14% didn't
The tablet is very pressure sensitive with almost zero latency/lag if you have a powerful computer. The tilt sensitivity also works great.
A screen protector is a thin sheet of plastic or glass that doesn't affect the pressure sensitivity of the pen and doesn't impede any RF signals.
The pressure sensitivity is not as good as I remember from my old Intuos, but it may be due to settings and rosy memory.
Even after spending a lot of money, this product lacks shortcut keys and different levels of pressure sensors.
66% praised the high-resolution, though 34% found it lacking
The screen resolution is good enough for me to work with fine detail and shading of some pretty involved images.
I never use the on-screen display because the built-in screen resolution is small.
71% liked the tilt recognition, while 29% experienced glitches
Once I get used to the slight parallax, the drawing experience is good. The tablet is very pressure sensitive and has almost zero latency/lag if I have a powerful computer. The tilt sensitivity works great.
The stylus feels nice in my hand and is well balanced, but it doesn't support tilt.
The screen on my desk is at a weird angle and I never get to use the actual screen.
