![]() The reason this unit, to us, could be considered a drawing-specific tablet is because that’s the thing it does best. ![]() The Simbans PicassTab is actually a standalone tablet, despite the fact that we were steering clear of these for this review. Screen Size/Active Area: 15.6 inches | Screen Resolution: 1920 x 1080 | Pen Type: Active, rechargeable | Standalone: No Our reviewer, Jeremy Laukkonen, found the pen performed flawlessly during testing, although he noted that the side buttons could be more pronounced. There's no denying that this is a great peripheral with truly impressive pen specs. The IPS display's brightness and the extra function keys might be enough for you to spend that higher price tag, but the awkwardly wide form factor (different from something like the less-sprawling Cintiq 15) makes it a device that will take up a lot of space on your desk. However, you'll have to pay nearly $100 more for this device. What makes it different is that it offers 10 assignable function keys (lined up in a column on the left edge of the device), which is more than the Artist12. In some ways, it rivals the Wacom options, but because it doesn't feature a touch wheel or flashy multi-touch, we think it's a more suitable rival with our top pick from XP-Pen.īecause of the 72% color gamut accuracy and the 8,192 levels of pressure sensitivity from the active pen, it really does have many of the features of the Artist12. The Gaomon PD1560 boasts a big, bright, 15.6-inch display with a 1920 x 1080 resolution. Screen Size/Active Area: 11.6 inches | Screen Resolution: 1920 x 1080 | Pen Type: Passive | Standalone: No The device is compatible with Windows 7, 8, or 10 (in 32 or 64-bit) and Mac OS X as old as version 10.10. This makes it less of a drawing-only tablet and more of a full-featured control surface for your design programs. In addition, the Artist12 gives you a full-high touch bar you can program to fulfill certain commands on your computer (XP-Pen recommends mapping it to the zoom-in/zoom-out feature), and you can harness six different assignable shortcut keys. ![]() And because the pen is passive it's not another device that needs to charge. The passive hexagonal pen (which feels very pencil-like) allows for 8,192 levels of pressure sensitivity so that you can really get the hand-sketched feel in your work. This makes it feel like you're really creating art in the real world. ![]() What's great about having an 11.6-inch display inside your drawing tablet is that you don't need to look at your other screen while drawing on a separate surface-you're drawing on the device where your lines and colors appear. The touchscreen display-a 1920 x 1080 HD IPS display-isn't the highest resolution available, but with 72% NTSC Color Gamut accuracy, its focus is on reproducing your work with as much precision as possible. The pen and sleeve will cost you another $79 each.The XP-Pen Artist12 earns our top spot because of its compatibility, customization, and reasonably affordable price point. At release, reMarkable will sell for $529 for the tablet itself. Unfortunately, there are no storage expansion slots.Īlthough the device is slated to ship in Summer 2017, pre-ordering soon will get you the tablet, sleeve, and pen all for $379. The device runs a custom Linux OS and has micro USB and Wi-Fi for connectivity. It sports a 1 Ghz ARM Cortex-A9 CPU with 512 MB of RAM and 8 GB on-board storage-all powered by a 3000 mAh battery. In terms of technical and physical specs, the reMarkable measures 10.2 ” x 6.9″ x. This may make it an attractive gadget for road-warriors frequently reading, annotating, or sketching on the go. To facilitate this, the reMarkable features a touchscreen and active stylus with 2048 levels of sensitivity, making it unique among e-ink devices at this moment.īecause e-ink is a technology designed to be quite similar to paper in terms of appearance, it results in less blue-light fatigue. ReMarkable is marketing the plastic 10.3" 1872 x 1404 (226 DPI) tablet for reading, annotation, notes, and sketching. The reMarkable tablet might look like a cross between an iPad, Kindle, and Wacom tablet, but it is looking to create a niche of its very own: replacing your pen and paper. ![]()
