Huion Kamvas 13 (Gen 3) vs Wacom One 14
Short answer
Get the Kamvas 13 for the better pen, shortcut keys and a stand in the box. Get the Wacom One 14 if your laptop has video over USB-C and you want Wacom's simple one-cable setup.

Where the Kamvas 13 wins
- The pen. 16,384 pressure levels and a 2-gram initial press, versus 4,096 levels on the Wacom.
- What's in the box. A stand and a 3-in-1 cable that works with almost any computer. The Wacom has neither.
- Shortcuts. 5 keys and 2 dials. The Wacom has none.
Where the Wacom One 14 wins
- One cable. On a laptop with video over USB-C, one cable does it all, and it's in the box.
- A bit more room. About 538 square centimeters versus about 488.
- Lighter and brighter. 750 grams versus 865, and 285 nits claimed versus 220.
Where they're the same
Both are 1080p, laminated, matte and pen only. Neither has touch. Both are aimed at beginners and students.
Watch out for
The Wacom One 14 only connects over USB-C. If your port doesn't carry video, owners say you'll need a converter and a power supply. That's the most common complaint in its reviews. The Kamvas 13 needs a USB-C cable you buy separately for one-cable use, but its 3-in-1 cable works with HDMI too.
My pick
For most beginners, I'd buy the Kamvas 13 (Gen 3). You get the better pen, keys and a stand, and it works with more computers. The Wacom One 14 is a fine pick if you've checked your USB-C port and want the Wacom name.
