Why you should not trust youtube shills:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VH1WEYF8rlA
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Twy5Wo8m284
Do not worry pressure levels. 1024 is more than enough.
Remember to ignore all chinese shills. They often post paid twitter promos from random artists. It's all shilling, ignore it.
Recommended tablets:
>Screenless:
Used Intuos 3, 4, 5, Pro, One by Wacom
>Display:
Small (10-11"): Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite
Medium (12-16"): Samsung Galaxy Tab S8/S9 Ultra, used iPad Pro 12.9" Gen 1-5
Large (22"+): Cintiq 22, Cintiq Pro 27
Avoid:
>XP-Pen, Huion, Gaomon and every other Chinese brand making Wacom imitations
Poor build quality, pens with wavy lines, wobbly nibs, broken tilt, issues registering light pressure, terrible customer support, uncalibrated displays. All Chinese brands have the same problems. Check out the webm to understand how bad they are.
Do not be fooled by myths like "Chink companies are just as good as Wacom now" - they've been saying this for over 10 years, nothing has changed.
Chinese companies have also been proven to shill on 4chan. You will see dozens upon dozens of posts in this thread by a chinese schizo shill, who will either be bitching about the OP, gaslighting as a Wacom fan, making pointless spam posts or giving terrible advice (like recommending Huion). Just ignore and report him.
>New iPads
Massively overpriced and overhyped.
>Microsoft Surface Pro
More optimized for palm rejection than good quality drawing. Wobbly lines when drawing slow and straight.
>Cintiq 13-16"
Completely outclassed by the Galaxy Tab Ultra & iPad
>Cintiq Pro 16, 24, 32
Overpriced, QC issues, loud fans, proprietary mount interface
>Lenovo
Worse than Samsung in every way.

Hello! I wanted to post a review of anyone is indecisive. I bought the galaxy tab s6 lite after you guys spoke so highly of it and I highly recommend it. It's cheaper on amazon than it is on the samsung website. This is my first tablet but I already see my art shooting forward in quality. This was one of the first sketches I made. It may not be fantastic by ic standards but this is one of the best portrait sketches I've made. 10/10 super smooth and portable. Thank you guys for this great recommendation

Does anyone have a wacom movink13 and if so how is it? I've wanted to upgrade to a display tablet from my intous for a long while along with also having a portable option for digital drawing but i loathe being locked into the android or ios ecosystem bullshit. And while i'm not completely against getting an android/ipad tablet a major reason i haven't the last few years specifically cause i can't use it with my computer when not out and about. For a while now i've been thinking the movink 13 could be good as a tabletdisplay+thinlaptop placed together in a unifying case for portable drawing, albeit with some obvious compromises like being a slightly bulkier/heavier total package, likely worse battery, etc, but those are fine be me.

Generally how is the used Wacom tablet buying experience? To me it seems like it’d normally be worth the extra money to buy new and have everything working but damn there’s such a discrepancy in price between the new Wacoms and the listings I see on poshmark, ebay etc. Do people tend to take care of their shit or is it worth just paying extra to avoid troubleshooting some issue created by the previous owner spilling cheeto dust all over their tablet?

Wondering if there is any meaningful upgrades to the XPPen Aritst Pro 14 within a 600 dollar price range? Main issues being unnatural feeling pressure curves and feeling inaccurate due to parallax, even if it's not very glaring or extreme. Trying to control line weight feels suicide inducing, not sure if it's a skill issue or hardware issue.

i'm not the only one who thinks the new intuos pro's are redundant with the previous versions right? besides being smaller for portability there's not much changes. the drawing sensitivity is exactly the same even and it appears they switched to lower quality batteries. the slightly bigger active area didn't feel that much different on the medium at leastalso the movink13 was so close to my ideal tablet, it's just too small. i get that it's made for portability above all, but if they made a bigger/pro version i'd replace the aging cintiq pro with it. it makes me wonder if this thing is actually selling well that they'd make a higher tier model or if this is an experimental one-off.

I want a tablet that has a lot of processing power and a big display, but I only want it for drawing, digital sculpting (probably with zbrush), and at most for reading online comics. The reading comics thing is completely optional. I really just care about drawing and sculpting. Getting an ipad seems like a waste to me as I am completely uninterested in all of the additional features and honestly would find them to be a nuisance if anything. What are my best options for something that is really focusing entirely on maximizing the drawing and sculpting and stylus experience? I cannot stand drawing on a tablet and looking at the computer screen. I really need to look where my hand is, which is why I want something that is entirely on its own.

why do all wacom AES 2.0 styli start at 50$? What is so advanced in these things? Aren't they basically just little transmitters with most of the tech being in the display itself?
