Tools
Huion H610 | Solid & Reliable tablet. A bit too big to travel with. Has 2048 levels of pressure sensitivity which is perfect. Anything over 2k is great. I recommend purchasing the rechargable pen as the battery one breaks easy. The tablet has a rough surface for some traction, but it wears down the pen nibs and makes a rough noise while drawing. So I recommend a cheap smooth screen protector, reduces noise and keeps pen nibs from wearing down quickly. I give this tablet a rating of 4/5, battery pens 2/5 and rechargeable pen 5/5.
Surface Pro 1st Generation | I use this as a last resort back up when my computer or tablet breaks. Has about 1000 levels of pressure sensitivity which isn't great. There's some parallax between the pen and screen. Screen is just too small to draw on, makes it difficult to connect lines together. I recommenced connecting it to a larger monitor and plugging in the Huion tablet to it. This makes it function as a small backup computer. Runs art programs okay, browsing the internet is a bit slow. Can handle rocket league for about 5 minutes on the lowest settings. The phone jack broke trying to plug earphones into it, can't be fixed. Only has one USB port so you need a USB hub that also plugs into a wall so the ports have enough power. Has been dropped multiple times and still works. Keyboard breaks easily so I recommend a Bluetooth keyboard. Power button no longer connects well, you have to press it down with decent force for about 30 seconds for it to connect and turn on. The charger it came with stopped charging, The magnet part just wouldn't connect. You'd have to jiggle it for about a minute to connect and then eventually it just stopped. Bought an off brand Chinese charger and it works like a champ and has a longer cable than the original which is great. Over all I give this tablet computer hybrid a solid 3/5.
