Score: 47/100Rankings
The Wacom Intuos Small Bluetooth (CTL4100WLK0) adds wireless freedom to the entry-level Intuos line with Bluetooth 4.2 and a 15-hour battery life, while retaining the 4096-level pressure pen and a solid software bundle. It remains compact and affordable but is held back by an outdated micro-USB connector and lack of tilt support.
The Wacom Intuos Small Bluetooth is an entry-level tablet with solid pressure sensitivity and wireless capability, but its limited active area and lack of tilt keep it from advanced use.
