The Wacom Intuos Pro Medium is a quality graphics tablet that provides a pleasant, natural way to input data. The brand is better known for their Cintiq Graphics Tablets, but the Intuos Pro is a really good option for someone that is new to this kind of device. It does take some time to get the level of hand-eye coordination needed to use it properly. The learning process is made easier by the fact that you can place a sheet of paper over the tablet and draw on it, without affecting the input read by the device

Pros
Pro Enjoyable user experience
The Wacom Intuos Pro feels very natural when drawing. It takes no time in detecting everything that's drawn and it really makes users feel as if they are drawing on a physical medium. In fact, sketchers have the option of covering the tablet with a sheet of paper and drawing directly on it, while the tablet simultaneously takes the digital input, thus enabling the tablet to be used without a computer or screen. The whole philosophy of this tablet is to emulate drawing on paper. For example, it is capable of making different layers or changing to the next page by the simple push of a button or switching between ink mode and stylus mode by bringing the tip of the respective pens close to the paper surface.
Cons
Con Very display dependent
The Intuos Pro lacks a display unit. It is solely an input device so there is no feedback of what you're sketching. This means that is easy to make mistakes. Also, a lot of practice is needed to be able to draw on one surface and view the result on another. The fact that users can draw on a sheet of paper placed on top of the screen, without interfering with the tablet's functionality, is a great help.
