Well, bluetooth Intuos Wacoms exist already since a few years. I own one.
Iirc since Intuos4.
Wireless Intuos existed for a while, but you had to use the Wacom USB dongle.
This is the first time Wacom is using a BT solution - you no longer need a dongle. Just use your Mac's built in BT to connect. More convenient.
Edit: it seems I was wrong - there was a BT Intuos 4 called "Intuos Wireless". But the Intuos 5 and Pro use a wifi dongle. The latest one is BT, though and it uses BT 4.

You mean they are aluminium and not plastic?
The specs page says this: "Wacom Intuos Pro is built using premium materials such as black anodized aluminum and glass fiber composite resin." Not sure what the glass fiber composite is, and what parts are aluminium, but it certainly is a step up compared to previous plastic models.

How you people do it without being able to draw on the screen is beyond me.
i have a 21" Ugee monitor that I use as my tablet.
It's a skill you train - some people do it with ease, others have more trouble. I have owned two Cintiqs and several Intuos tablets, I also use an iPad Pro with Apple Pencil. Although my workflow is a bit different (I tend to zoom in more with Intuos tablets) - I can do equal work both on tablets and tablet screens.
Some people even prefer drawing on Intuos, because your hand doesn't cover the screen. Others prefer the Cintiqs. Most artists can use both with equal skill and prefer one or the other.
I like both - and was planning to get the new 16" Cintiq Pro, but these latest Intuos are so compact and have better wireless, so I think I'm going for a new Intuos instead. The M model will finally fit my Incase laptop bag

I use a medium for photo editing on my 27" Mac Pro. For photo editing the medium is too big in my opinion. If I had it to do all over again I'd get the small. When I work on my photos I zoom in on the image and that gives me all the fine control I need from my Wacom. A smaller tablet means less wasted motion.
For photo editing - I'd say you're good with S. But for drawing - even the L model is a bit too small for 27". I usually activate precision mode when working on the iMac, and I recently moved all my illustration work to my MBP for this reason. Drawing on a 15" with a M or L tablet is more precise. Not because of the screen itself, but because the size matches the tablets better.

I think part of the problem in your case is that with a 27" display, there's no way you could come close to a 1:1 motion between tablet and screen (which is much more accurate once you get used to it), so it feels more convenient if everything can be done from the wrist.
Exactly. The 27" screen is too big even for the L model. You can offset this by using either the precision mode, or decreasing the screen area in Wacom drivers.
Oh, and I'm talking about illustration. Drawing. Using the tablet just for photo editing - I think even the S model is fine.
