The company makes graphics tablet which can allow the user to use a digital pen on the tablet and relay that information to the screen within Graphics Programs such as CorelDraw Graphics Suite, Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop. With this though, the power of the product is in the pen. One of the newest products they have introduced is the One by Wacom. What’s great about it, it can be used with not only PC or Mac based systems but also with Chromebooks.
