TABLET DECISIONS! POLL ENCLOSED!
6 years ago
Okay. I'm struggling to decide on a new tablet a lot more than I expected to, but I've managed to wittle it down to three XP-Pens. First is more or less Intuos with mega buffs. Second is a cheap portable display with a small screen, but still super good. Finally, top dog, professional display tablet, can't really bring it around, but lookit all these cool features, AND it includes a stand!

Also isn't 15.6 still portable too? That's about the size of my laptop. I'm reading they're both just displays so you'll need a computer to connect it to anyways, so I don't necessarily see the advantage in just the display being portable (unless you have a lack of space on your desk).
Brad Colbow did some nice reviews on these tablets on Youtube, by the way.
Have you thought about doing a small donation drive or something once you have your tablet?
15.6" refers to the diagonal measurement of the display / active area itself, which is 344.16 x 193.59 mm The entire unit measures at 443 x 280 mm.

The big one could definitely fit on my desk, though I fear it might make things clunky and awkward, having to reach for the keys on my laptop, etc. I'm also having a hard time justifying getting something this expensive (£400+) and high-end, when I'm not doing art, like, all the time. The Artist 12 or the Deco Pro M would be great just for doin what I've been doing all the time without having to shift the workflow too much. Both more reasonably priced between £100 & £250. Also, might've seen a review from Colbow as I was watching youtube earlier, heh.
A Sketch Stream would be cool to do, break in the hardware n stuff. I was thinking these streams could be a monthly thing anyway, so that's not a bad idea at all. :3c
