What's your favorite tablet?

My old Bamboo Fun tablet might be nearing the end of its lifespan, so I'd better get a new one. Looking around at all the tablets flooding the market nowadays, I wonder if it's worth the money to get a nice one like a Wacom?

If I find a cheap tablet and an expensive tablet that both have the same specs, is there any advantage to getting the expensive one? Do the expensive ones actually feel any different? Do they have some extra feature that you like?

TL;DR: What's your favorite tablet?

Currently I'm using a Huion tablet.

Took me a while to get the hang of it, it's great

I think I'm leaning toward a Huion. Cheap and useful. I figure I could pay more and get a Wacom, but in the end how will I know if it lasted longer than the Huion would have?

That... I'm not sure. At least mine still works (I think I still have the warranty?)

Oh sorry, I should have made it clear that this is a hypothetical question. In reality, there's no way to know how long either one would have lasted, compared to the other.

Maybe I'll just buy them both and probably return the Wacom, unless I find that I draw ten times better and faster with it. Anyway, thanks for the suggestion.

as far as I can tell, people like the big name ones because of the stylus and the quality control
you can't really go wrong these days—even the low-end budget models are viable
had a second hand ugee for a few years now, no complaints except that the battery has to be charged daily now rather than weekly

I think it would matter more if you were looking for one with an integrated display since there are so many more metrics for screen quality

Thanks for the feedback. I'm trying to avoid anything that needs a battery in the first place. Integrated displays sound great, but I don't think I could justify the cost.
