Better for drawing, better for the environment

You’re bound to love the included Wacom One pen. But a pen is a very personal thing. Several top brands have made pens that are compatible with Wacom One, so you’re sure to find the right pen option for you. I used a 2019 MacBook Pro with two USB-C ports and found one was taken by my USB-A adapter and the other by my HDMI adapter. This meant I was forced to take a break whenever I needed to charge my laptop. Of course, this issue is avoidable depending on your setup, but a versatile hub might be an extra cost you’ll want to factor in if you’re planning on powering your display from an Android or laptop with limited ports. How do I uninstall (manually) and re-install the Wacom driver on Windows for a Pen Tablet, Pen Display, or Pen Computer?

It depends on how the products are used and which device settings are selected. Overall, though, the Wacom One was a joy to use. The screen could perhaps do with offering a little more resistance for a more pen-to-paper experience, but it’s pleasingly responsive and smooth.
