It is very true that in the past, every single one of Wacom’s tablets were “the best” that you could get in both cost and performance, and there were really no reasons to even consider the alternative tablets that were out at the time. Recently, awareness about non-Wacom brands seems to be getting much better though.) (Above are some common responses you will get when you ask what tablet you should get to begin your digital art journey. There is a fairly big misconception about Wacom that I feel needs to be cleared up: Not all of Wacom’s tablets are “the best” that you can get. If you use Linux OS, choosing Wacom or XP-Pen will most likely be the best choice for you. All other Linux drivers are community developed and Wacom tablets have the most stable community-made Linux drivers because they have such a large userbase. XP-Pen is the only tablet company which creates official Linux drivers. Please note that this post only applies to Windows and Mac users! Unfortunately, even with the minor tweaks and changes to the tablet, I still do not support it as a good tablet for digital artists and I will explain why over the course of this post. You do not need to read the previous post as I will reiterate the same information in this post. Therefore, I would like to re-visit this topic and bring up new arguments as the release of the Wacom Intuos 2018 (CTL4100) brings a few changes to the tablet and cancels out the “cheap plastic pen” argument which I had mainly been using previously.

Previously, I outlined two faults that I see with Wacom’s low-end Intuos line in my Your first tablet should NOT be a Wacom Intuos post, and one of those points is no longer valid due to the release of the new Wacom Intuos 2018 (CTL4100).
