Wacom Movink review: Wacom strikes gold with its thinnest, lightest drawing tablet yet

Pronounced 'Move Ink', Wacom's new mobile pen display delivers a vibrant OLED screen, accurate performance and an easy setup, I just wish it came with a case.

The new Wacom Movink is driving a wedge into the emerging battle ground for mobile drawing tablets. The mobile market for those looking to draw on the go, or artists wanting to pack-up their home kit and take their work to the studio or office, is fast-becoming the thing everyone needs.

In recent months I've reviewed the excellent iPad alternative from XPPen, the Magic Pad, as well as the large Xencelabs Pen Display 16, a tablet I thought was going to be my new go-to for some time. Then I tried the Wacom Movink, and while smaller at 13.3-inches, this really is the slimmest, lightest and most accurate pen display I've used. This niche market is really heating up, and Wacom is in course to win back artists to its tech who may have strayed.
