What exactly is a pen tablet? Actually, these are also called ‘graphics tablet’. A pen tablet is a computer hardware device that can be used to input images and graphics in the computer. The images are hand – drawn using a special drawing equipment that looks like a pen. For some pen tablets, the images can be viewed in the attached computer. But for other pen tablets, they can be used as an alternative computer screen.
