These are tablets WITHOUT a screen that need to be connected to a computer (some support wireless) to work. See: Beginner pen tablets
These are tablets WITH A SCREEN that need to be connected to a computer. see: Beginner pen displays

My thoughts on your first drawing tablet
In general I recommend people to spend the least amount of money possible if they are just starting out.
For that reason I suggest that you get a pen tablet (no screen) unless you are absolutely sure that you MUST have a pen display (has a screen). More here: Pen tablets vs pen displays
If you really need a standalone, get an iPad or Wacom MovinkPad, or a Samsung Galaxy Tab S tablet. More here: Pen-enabled mobile device recommendations
