One by Wacom

Graphics tablets are not just for artists: The “One by Wacom” is aimed specifically at the education market — and the Chromebook.

Wacom is once again using its own self-charging EMR pen technology with the One tablet. That said, USI pens that are currently being established by various manufacturers in the Chromebook market do not work.

Graphics tablets have long been considered professional tools for illustrators, image editors and CAD specialists who need an intuitive, almost classic input device for their creativity. In recent years, more affordable products have somewhat adjusted this assessment; and not least the current challenges of distance learning make drawing tablets interesting for pupils, students and teachers as well.

In connection with graphics tablets, Wacom has been able to build up a high reputation over the past almost four decades. The pioneer launched the first tablet with a wireless pen as early as 1984; since then, the name Wacom has become almost synonymous with the entire class of devices.

With Google’s blessing

With the “One by Wacom”, the Japanese manufacturer wants to specifically address the education market. It is therefore fitting that the pen tablet is the first Wacom product (and probably the first graphics tablet ever) to be awarded the “Works With Chromebook” certificate and logo.

“Works With Chromebook” is Google’s compatibility…
