The new 14-inch Wacom One ups the display size, but not the price

Wacom has announced its latest beginner-friendly graphics tablet, the Wacom One 14. The obvious upgrade from its 2023 predecessor is a larger 14-inch IPS display, which gives digital artists a bit of extra space for their sketching. The bezels have been trimmed down to accommodate the bigger canvas, while keeping the design thin and compact enough to easily throw the Wacom One in a backpack.

The 1920 x 1080 HD display’s textured surface is supposed to replicate the feeling of drawing on paper, with an anti-glare coating that with an anti-glare coating that theoretically allow you to use it outdoors with minimal frustration. It’ll resist fingerprints too, but unlike other tablets in Wacom’s lineup, this one lacks multitouch tech. It’s designed to be used strictly with the included battery-free pen, which has a 16ms response time and clips to the top of the tablet for easy access. It’s pressure-sensitive and has two customizable buttons.

Given it’s marketed at amateurs just getting started on their artistic journey, you get a selection of bundled software that includes Skillshare lessons and a trial for Clip Studio Paint Pro. You can also use Foxit to edit and annotate PDF files, making the Wacom One a good pick for teachers who don’t need the additional functionality of an iPad.

You connect the Wacom One 14 to a Mac or PC by either using the provided USB-C cable, or via a Wacom converter to which you connect separate cables if your device isn’t equipped with Thunderbolt or DisplayPort Alt Mode. You can pick one up now for $300.
