Product Information

When choosing the best tablet for your needs, consider how you’ll use it. Are you looking for a compact, portable device? Or do you plan to work from your desk and would rather have a larger screen? The Surface has a responsive and vibrant 2880 x 1920 panel with a 120Hz refresh rate, Dolby Vision and Adaptive Color technology. In short, it displays good colour, detail and responsiveness – plus, the Surface Pro 8 is compatible with the highly responsive Surface Pen stylus (sold separately). However, since the basic configuration of the Surface Pro 8 is comparable to the iPad Pro 12.9 in price, it’s worth noting that it’s a long way from delivering the gorgeous, vibrant display that Apple offers. A drawing tablet is almost a second touchscreen for your computer, making it possible to use a pen or stylus to input information onto a screen. Any creative task on a computer that requires pinpoint precision can benefit from a pen's tactile response. Drawing tablets can help presenters, artists, graphic designers, and Photoshop geeks.

Pen sensitivity is measured in pressure levels. In most tablets, they can range from 1024 up to 8096 pressure levels. But as a beginner, you’re unlikely to notice the difference between 4096 and 8096 levels. Anything above 2000 pressure levels will already be very sensitive.

Without a shadow of a doubt, the iPad Pro is the best general-use tablet for drawing, and the most recent 12.9-inch M1 model is a real treat for artists, delivering plenty of power, a brilliant display and wonderful canvas size. Plus, it’s ultra-portable, which is more than can be said for its competition; as mentioned earlier, all graphics tablets and most pen displays need to be plugged into external devices.

You can easily slip a compact tablet into any bag, so you can work from anywhere. But you might find that small active area a bit limiting. Screen Resolution, Parallax, & Texture First of all, you should think about whether you want a screen on your tablet or just a drawing area. Artists and designers working full-time may wish to stretch to something a little more screen real estate but for beginners and those on a budget, the XP-Pen Artist 10 (2nd Gen) is a solid choice.As you can see, the way a drawing tablet works is pretty simple and doesn't require any special skills. Some factors to look out for are pen sensitivity and response time. The faster the response time, the less lag you’ll experience as you draw. But other tablets need to connect to your computer to work. That’s true of all tablets without a screen, as you’ll use your monitor to see your designs. What's suitable for kids? The Flueston LCD Writing Tablet focuses on children's art projects. It's a small (10 inches), light (7.1 ounces) device that sits between a Kindle and an Etch-a-Sketch.

But it doesn’t stop there, the slate is powered by a vibrant display with 72% NTSC and the battery free EMR (Electro Magnetic Resonance) pen does not need charging as it draws power off the screen as you use it. To hook it up to your computer, use the supplied HDMI and USB cables. The unit comes with an adjustable stand for optimum working angle. When you are done using the tablet, place the pen in the pen strap. The Intuos comes with a battery-free stylus with two shortcut buttons. You can use this lightweight pen for as long as you want and will never need to charge it. Although this tablet has a screen, don’t forget that it’s not a standalone device. You’ll still need to connect it to your computer for it to function. It’s no iPad Pro, but the iPad Air is a very respectable choice for digital creatives – and, coming in at a much lower price, it’s a great option for hobbyists. It still runs on the M1 chip, making it super-powerful and smooth when using creative apps, and its 2360 x 1640 IPS LCD screen offers decent brightness and fluidity.In fact, our only complaints are that there’s no tilt sensitivity (reserved for the Intuos Pro) and that the supplied pen is thin and lightweight, which might not suit some users if they’re working all day long. If that doesn’t bother you or you can budget for a replacement, then buy away. The Inuos S has four ExpressKeys, which can be customised to preferred functions, and four rubber feet to help it stay still on flat surfaces. If you're aware of Wacom's reputation for expensive gear then the relatively slender price of the Intuos S may come as a pleasant surprise; the tablet is also a couple of years old, so discounts do tend to pop up not infrequently. Keep an eye out. Now, you know what to look for when choosing a beginner drawing tablet. So, let’s take a closer look at the best art tablets out there!
