There might be some confusion here. When you place your pen on the Wacom tablet, your cursor appears on the equivalent place on the screen. If you pen touches the upper right corner of the tablet, then you'll see your pointer on the upper right of the monitor. In this way, you can draw or write like you would with a pen. Moreover, the tablet is pressure sensitive so if you are using photoshop for example you can vary the width of your brush mid-stroke by letting-off of the pen as you swipe.

I've been using one version of these or another since the mid-1990's when the Intuos 2 first came out. You can use this tethered via USB or run it off of internal battery power by Bluetooth connection with your computer. I upgraded to this larger size a few months ago and I really like it. It took me a bit of getting used to since for so many years I was using the smaller ones. I wanted one this time that would allow me to make larger arm movements. It has some handy programmable keys along one side. It is very light and thin. When I'm using it with the Bluetooth I just keep it in my lap like holding a sketchbook. If you want to draw directly on the screen and see it displayed there you should look at the Cintiq line of tablets they make. It blends the features of a tablet with a monitor. I've seen them and gotten to try it out and it is extremely cool but they are much more expensive since you are basically getting another high-end monitor that you can also draw on. I wasn't prepared to spend that much money at this time when I was already so used to using the plain tablets for so many years. If you have the money to spend I'd recommend going with a Cintiq. Hope that helps.
