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, used 24 Pro, 27QHD

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

>Lenovo
Worse than Samsung in every way.

He used to be a common user of /csg/ aka "Chink Shit General", probably got lead poison from anime figurines and became mentally ill.

Even if he wasn't around, you'd have to be retarded to actually take advice from consumerism threads by anons that don't actually post pictures of things they have though.
Go ask on twitter or an art discord for tablet suggestions instead.

Is the OP still accurate? I thought XP Pen at least was doing a lot better these days, especially for the price. At least that's what YouTube artists seem to be saying.
Not shilling, just trying to be as informed as possible before dropping hundreds on one.

You're wrong and an idiot. I've curated these threads for years now and update them as I need to. The simple fact is Chinese tablets just aren't good. Anyone suggesting otherwise is a worst a shill, and at best misinformed and leading people into wasting their money. It always has and always will be Wacom>Apple>Samsung>everything else. I wish so badly these threads would either just be a sticky with replies disabled or for me to moderate them and delete stupid replies like this.

You still haven't shown proof that you own the tablets you talk about, or that you even draw. There's no reason to believe you because you don't back up the claims you make, you just point at a Reddit post or YouTube video that makes the brands you like look good while ignoring everything else.

It's now possible to buy a Cintiq 24 Pro with the ergo stand for $700. No need to even think about XP-Junk or Poouion anymore.

begs still need a beginner tablet, the truth is that literally any screenless tablet all uses the same tech from the same 2 digitizer manufactuers, it literally doesn't matter
driver support matters even less if the tablet is supported by OpenTabletDriver, because that means you're no longer vulnerable to the manufacturer dropping support.

I risk another ban, this thread is just the honeypot of a janny chilling crap to get the money since they moderate this place for free.

At this point, this info should be in the sticky and be updated, with luck, once a year, but you have this retard spamming the thread in order to keep it on the first page.

i have draw for a few years, had a lot of tablets, my take including range or need are.

>screenless
there is NOT a single best option than the xp pen deco v 03. is 50 dollars in amazon and is one if not the one with the biggest work area in the market, yes, i have the deco pro which is a few centimeters bigger but there is no huge difference, you can probably pick something even cheaper or second hand online, a lot, and i mean a lot of students buy these for 1 class and after the semester is finished they do not touch them.

>screen tablet
Depending on your budget, the wacom cintiq 16 is the best option by far, but is expensive, for half the price, you can get a xp pen, i have an artist 16, which didnt let me down for years and was worth every cent until i sold it.

>portable
ipad, i know, apple, but there is no better option, these things, specially the old ones are build like trucks, if you take care, i assure you it will last forever. best way to get one is to join facebook market and search for women selling them, they barely use it in general and you can find gems with good condition.
>>
>>7819578
Oh wow a real discussion for once
>Screenless
I agree they are all the same. Intuos Pro is simply unreasonable, 350$ for a black rectangle? No. And literally every other tablet (Huion and Xp-Pen) are using the Ugee technology so they are identical.

Although I don't know if the newer pentech 3/4/whatever feel nicer, but regardless, the pens are servicable, at 60$ you get a 100% functional device you can do anything with. I learned to draw on an old dogshit huion with a battery pen. They sure as fuck came a long way.
Yes the wobble is real and no it doesn't affect the real life performance because you aren't going to draw straight lines by hand without a stabilizer. I used these tablets long before the wobble was discovered, and I had no fucking idea, lol.

>Depending on your budget, the wacom cintiq 16 is the best option by far, but is expensive,
I am waiting for the Huion Kamvas Pro 19 to arrive, but the customs are busy during the holyday season and the Russian post is notoriously shit, i don't know when am I gonna get something I paid 1000$ for.

When It arrives I'm going to review it extensively. I am the first Chang, yes that one who drove the schizo insane.

>know, apple, but there is no better option
Samsung plus and Ultra are perfectly capable. I'm still using the Samsung S7+ I bought when it released with a bluetooth keyboard. In fact i used it for professional work doing the sprites for a VN.

BTW on the topic of wobble.
The schizo is going to say that Intuos Pro allow you to draw without a stabilizer for a real feel.
That's bullshit.

Literally every tablet has wobble, that's a specific of how the digitizers work, however Intuos Pro has a firmware stabilizer built into the tablet. That's why the OSU! players use Bamboo, the Bamboo have a faster response and they also have wobble.

There are no wobble free tablets, there only are tablets with built in stabilizer.
>>
>>7819601
honestly i talk out of the best option from quality or price, i know there are a lot of options and sometimes we have to accommodate to what we have at our reach, nothing wrong with that.

>>7819605
this is one of the biggest lies on this thread, i would pay real money to see the schizo grab a pencil and draw perfect lines to see what excuse they pull off. wobble is a skill issue, no hardware, pick a real inking pen and you will see how little you can blame the tablets

I'm not schizo, i'm Chang, the real one (i'm blonde and blue eyed btw)
Red lines are done with a ruler, blue lines are freehand. If you zoom in really fucking closely you can see there's like 1 pixel waviness to them, both the ruler and the freehand lines wave very subtly.
Yes it's real and not it's completely unimportant. You would have never noticed that if you weren't told it's there and it's completely not relevant to real drawing

BTW the Schizo literally doesn't have a tablet to post anything,
