    graphics tablets are basically touch screens with pens used for precision and/or more comfortable movement of the cursor.

    Graphics Tablet

    From what I know, its like one of those pads on a laptop where you use your fingertip to move the cursor. The only difference is this 1 uses a pen, just like how at stores you have to sign your signature on the digital screen with 1 of those pens. So in photoshop you can use the pen to draw lines (much more accurate using a pen compared to mouse). Therefore creating straighter, more realistic surfaces.
