Wacom Intuos Small Bluetooth
Score: 79/100
XP-Pen Artist 13.3 Pro
Score: 81/100Rankings
The XP-Pen Artist 13.3 Pro delivers a full-laminated IPS screen with excellent color coverage and a high-sensitivity battery-free stylus, making it a strong budget challenger to Wacom pen displays. Its reliance on a host computer, dual-cable setup and occasional connectivity issues keep it from being a premium solution.
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 It remains compact and affordable but is held back by an outdated micro-USB connector and lack of tilt support.
