A:Answer Hello there, than you for asking. I'd like to clarify that the Intuos tablet doesn't have a screen, this is a pen tablet input device that sits next to your keyboard and needs to be connected to a computer to work. When you use the pen inside the active area of the tablet this one maps to the screen you have for your computer.
That said, if he's getting started and you would like for him to work directly on a screen, then I would recommend to consider/explore the Wacom One as that is a Pen Display tablet. You can see it from here > https://www.bestbuy.com/site/wacom-one-13-3-graphics-tablet-flint-white/6393542.p?skuId=6393542 - Note that a computer is also nedeed.
Hope that helps. Best!
