What are drawing or touch tablets ?

Drawing and touch tablets are computer peripherals which replace or can be used in conjunction with a mouse. By using a digitizer pen or your fingers, a graphics tablet essentially controls the screen cursor faster and with more precision than a regular computer mouse.

Other names for drawing tablets are: computer tablets, digitizer tablets, digitizing tablets, graphic tablets, graphics tablets, pen tablets, pen and touch tablets, pen displays, pointing devices, computer input devices, or computer peripherals.
