If you don’t, then you may not even care. If you work on a tablet for most of your day, every day, these little changes are important. The buttons themselves have less resistence when clicking them and the top one also doesn’t stick out as much, making it easier and faster to press down. Some use it for alt/option, and other configurations. I use the buttons a lot on the pen itself to scroll up and down my layer stack. The Pro Pen 2 is an upgrade from the Intuos Pro stylus I’d been using. Also it looks much cleaner this way not having that separate compartment. I don’t use wireless most of the time but it’s a great bonus. You don’t even need the additional hub that you previously needed to plug into a USB slot.

On this tablet, it’s all built in and somehow still manages to stay quite thin. On previous versions, you’d be required to purchase or add on a wireless unit. It doesn’t wiggle and isn’t as prone to breaking or having connection issues. The USB-C connector is really strong and doesn’t budge at all. One issue people had on the previous tablet was the connector not being resilient. On the other end, is a USB-C connection point. It’s about 1/3rd thinner and more compact. Thinner, Lighter, and StrongerĪnother size change is how thin it has become. This means that if they refresh the small, it will be even smaller and perfect for travelling light. Since there’s no gap/ridge, it works perfectly.

It makes the tablet fit in the same spot as my small and I can comfortably use my dual screen setup now.Įven after mapping both screens to the tablet, I also have additional room to comfortably place my mouse on the end. Fortunately, it turns out they did some trimming!Īs you can see from the comparison, the medium is practically the same physical size of the small! They expanded the working area space and compressed unnecessary filler space. If you know me, I am all about the small (no time for jokes!) so I wasn’t sure if I would keep it.

The updated Wacom Intuos Pro (2017) only comes in medium and large. It’s definitely a revision of nuances that amount to the polished package. After using it for about 60+ hours, I can appreciate the changes. Truthfully, I wasn’t sure if I would even really notice a big difference from the previous version.
