Note and Tips

• you don't need your wacom size to match your screen size
• you don't need your wacom size to match your paper size unless you trace paper
• for 24/27“ dual screen setup: medium size is best, small size will fly mouse too quickly but usable as mouse
• for 24” screen: if you use medium size, you will feel very slow to move like mouse, but ok for drawing details, single small size will feel more balance between as mouse and drawing.
• any screen smaller than 24“, just use small wacom is enough.
• large size is not recommended to use as a mouse, your arm will feel tired to move from screen corner to corner.
• compared with wacom screen version, tablet version works more like mouse and pen, while screen mainly use like pen input, with your hands on screen all the time.
• compared to the lower line models, like bamboo and non-pro lines, they are more portable to use with travel laptop or as cheap alternative, but the pen is too slim for long time work use; and buy 2nd hand old gen wacom will be much cheaper and better to buy new cheap versions.
• wacom tablet can use for more than 10+ years, if you take care the draw surface, put cover when not use.
  (my old bamboo fun medium has served me well for at least 16 years, I gave it up later due to its sensitive sensor aged and behaved a bit shaky when in idle. also, I got cheap 2nd hand pro version wacom to replace it.)
