The Drawing Tablets I Tested
The [Wacom Intuos Pro Medium](https://www.amazon.com/s?k=Wacom+Intuos+Pro+Medium&tag=thetestedhub-20) was my top pick. Industry standard for a reason, the pen feel is unmatched, and the Wacom driver is the most reliable across OS updates.

Quick answers
Non-screen is cheaper, lighter, and better for travel with a laptop. Screen tablets are amazing but they need a second power cable and double your bag weight.
Yes, most tablets work down to USB 2.0 and basic specs. The bottleneck is your art software not the tablet, so check Photoshop or Procreate requirements first.
