The tablet is also thinner, with the top part being thicker than the bottom. The pen loop is still there, but you can now use it to carry the pen with the tablet and not as way to keep the pen from rollin’. By redesigning the buttons, Wacom saved some space.įormerly, there was only the pen loop, which was rather tight and a bit annoying.


The pen, when lying in the tray, is sitting over the keys. The pen tray doubles as the Express Keys. The top part of the Intuos is about an inch smaller than before. The models are all a bit lighter as well. The new Intuos 2018 is sleeker, taking up less space on the desk, and it’s a bit thinner, about the thickness of a smartphone. Now, to keep the pen from wandering away, there’s a tray, an indent in the top of the tablet that will keep your pen in sight and not rolling off the table like a meatball off spaghetti.Īnother difference is the footprint and weight. The Pen Ring that was sometimes available is gone. The compatible Felt and Flex nibs also will fit in the barrel.

It comes with a nib in the pen plus 3 replacement nibs. (For some reason, Wacom skips some multiples it skipped 2048 in this new-generation Intuos ands skipped 4096 in the Pro tablets, going from 1024 to 8192). It looks similar to the old Intuos Pen, but has 4096 pressure levels, or four times its predecessor. The pen is now called the Wacom Pen 4K (LP-1100K). The new Medium weighs 410g (14.4 oz.) and the old Medium weighed 480g (16.9 oz).

The new Small with Bluetooth is 250g (8.8 oz.) and without Bluetooth, 230g (8.1oz.). The customer may not even realize the tablets are the same.

Older: The older Intuoses have different names according to what software they’re bundled with.

With the older Art Pen and Touch Wacom offered the same tablets with different software, some of which were programs in trial versions or were free anyway.

So, they’re now offering a range of versatile programs that cover digital painting, drawing, and photo editing. With the least expensive new Intuos, the Small without Bluetooth, you get just one–a choice between Corel Painter Essentials 3 or Corel Aftershot 3.S With the Small with Bluetooth, you choose two. Newer: The new Intuos comes bundled with up to 3 programs: Currently, they are: Corel Painter Essentials 6, Corel Aftershot 3, and Clip Studio Paint Pro. All come with a USB cable so you can use them wired. Only one model, the small, more affordable Intuos S, does not have Bluetooth. You no longer need to buy the optional Wi-fi kit to use your Intuos wirelessly. This way, there’s not such a huge difference from the Intuos Pro and Cintiqs, which have 8,192. There are now 4,096 levels of pressure sensitivity. What’s different? More pressure sensitivity (In some markets, there was an Intuos pen with an eraser end I’m referring to the U.S. It still does not have rotation sensitivity and still does not have an eraser end. There’s still a tether so you can lock the tablet. The pen’s reading speed (PPS) and tablet resolution (LPI) are still the same. They still come bundled with drawing programs at no additional cost. The new Intuoses, like the old one, come in only Small and Medium. There are still four customizable, application-specific Express Keys, even though their arrangement has been changed. The active area takes up a greater percentage of the tablet, but the actual active area hasn’t changed–it just now goes almost to the edge of the surface. Only the Intuos Pro and older Pen and Touch models (and all Cintiqs) still have it. Wacom has removed multitouch from the new Intuos. However, there is one major change that’s not great. The new Intuos 2018 has 4,096 levels, plus a number of other changes to design and functionality. The Intuos (non-Pro version) was starting to feel like a dinosaur in that respect. In the last few years most art tablets, including tablet PCs, have gone far beyond 1,024 levels of pressure.

We’ll take a look at the difference between new and old and whether the new one is an upgrade or something that goes more… sideways. (The Intuos line was formerly known as Bamboo). A new Wacom Intuos 2018 is here! The Wacom Intuos tablet design, up to now, has not been changed since the old days of 2015.
