XP-Pen Star G640
Score: 66/100
Wacom Intuos Small Bluetooth
Score: 79/100Rankings
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 It remains compact and affordable but is held back by an outdated micro-USB connector and lack of tilt support.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 XP-Pen Star G640 is an ultra-thin, entry-level graphics tablet offering Wacom-level pressure sensitivity and a high report rate in a portable package. Its limited active area, lack of tilt and express keys, and a single Micro-USB connection keep it from competing with larger tablets.
