    Update: You can now customise cursor offset using ""Settings -> Advanced Settings -> Handwriting is not aligned"

    YES... My Magic Drawin Pad arrived on May 5th and the first thing I noticed was the pen offset, which is a little different when used in portrait or landscape orientation. One night later there was an update - version vFLDP(12-01). Now you can optimize the global cursor offset. "Settings -> Advanced Settings -> Handwriting is not aligned". Very nice because I want to use concepts and there is no in-app curso customization. I love this little thing! Thank you for this review. It was one of three UA-cam videos about the magic drawing pad when it came to purchasing decisions.

    Hands down best review on UA-cam. I really like the outdoor location and real use review. This review has actually turned my opinion on this tablet. Personally this drawing experience looks better than the Samsung drawing experience. No tilt is an issue... But for me personally it might not be so bad. I'm seriously thinking of getting one.

      I'd just like to say.. I've received my magic pad and unboxing it was bloody wonderful. The included case is excellent and even has little feet, so it doesn't fit flat on desk. Actually drawing on is silky smooth and far better than Samsung. Very impressed so far. 🎉 Congrats to xp pen on a fabulous digital drawing tablet tailored for artists. Because I draw fast... I haven't noticed the parallax issue.

    @DSisterson 11 місяців тому +36

    I've bought one, and I find the drawing experience a little better than this review makes it look - simply because he's being so thorough here and getting close-up. Cursor misalignment is noticeable but I've got used to it, up to a point. I understand they're working on an update to correct this. Also The pen it comes with feels a bit light and cheap; I think I'll be getting one of their other, more Wacom-like pens in due course. Finally this video shows quite a bit of lag. Maybe it's the program he's using but I think the video brings it out a bit more than in real life. I mostly use Sketchbook Pro and haven't noticed it at all.

    I also watched yours about the Samsung Galaxy S9 FE+ and still can't make up my mind, which to choose.
    So far I've been using a Wacom One 12 with paper foil for drawing, but I'm tired of the cable clutter and want to try a tablet.
    I use Clip Studio Paint for drawing, so I should be able to adjust the cursor properly, but I don't know if the tilt problem will bother me. The fact that the tablet sometimes reacts to the palm of the hand is also rather unfavorable for me.
    Can you tell me which surface has a better drawing (paper) feel?

    Hi, would you recommend this or the Samsung Galaxy tab s8 (or optionally s9)? In my country, due to taxing and export, the xp-pen magic pad will end up about 200 euros more expensive than I can get either Samsung for. However, the xp-pen seems optimalised for artists, both given it's size and just the general focus on the artistic aspect. However, I also see a lot of people really enjoying both Samsungs. I've never seen a direct comparison between the products so I'm very unsure. Especially since I already own a Huion Kamvas 22 that I'm very happy with - but I'll be traveling for a year and need a portable option that'll also be nice watching stuff on...

      Xp-pen in Argentina is more expensive too. This is due to the cost of shipping from the central to the ""sucursal" (branch). But in Argentina there is also a "fee" for being able to import there. So most technology cost double the real price and is because of that, worth the time to check ... for example, AliExpress where the delivery will not cost as much and so the final price would be more cheap.

    I'm looking at buying the Huion Kamvas Slate 10 as a portable drawing tablet. I already own and have used a GAOMON PD156PRO for 2 years now. I am not a beginner artist, but I'm not a professional either, moreso leaning toward the early skill of intermediate. I recognize the Slate 10 has the USI 2.0 Pen and wobble which may pose a problem as I drawing without smoothing. Both this and the Slate 10 seem to be underpowered, but I don't think it's a super big issue. I don't have the cash to spend 500 on the magic drawing pad. I think the Slate 10 would be perfect for my needs despite it's shortcomings, any other options at around the 250 price point that has pen support, laminated screen, matte screen protector options and portable? I may very well bite the bullet and get a Kamvas Slate 10 soon.

      iPad Pro will have better drawing experience.
      Tab S7FE is also LCD like the iPad Pro, but Tab S7FE is glossy and more reflective. iPad Pro display is much better than Tab S7FE.
      I'm not sure what's make your eyes tired so I can't recommend properly.
      Having a matte display does help I guess because there's no reflections.

    I really appreciate this review. I was wondering how this tablet would work for "real" art. I think I'll stick with my Samsung tablet. The S-pen support is much better than this. I was afraid this and the recent Huion would be too much like generic Android tablets and it seems to be the case. Yes, the XP-Pen name is on it but I really don't need another tablet. I'm still hoping the Kindle Scribe updates enough to be useful as a digital sketchbook without all the Android bells and whistles.

    I'm considering between this and Samsung galaxy tab s9 FE+. Since I'm going to buy my first tablet and planning to use it for other purposes like studying, taking notes and surfing net other than drawing, I'd like to hear your input about which one will be better. While I'm more familiar with IOS, my budget is limited so I'll still having to get used to Android system buying either of these.
    While I like XP-pen's screen ratio and screen, apparently it runs on an average processor (stock Android) and the Android is a bit outdated, plus the chip-powered pen might not last long. Plus in my country we don't have official XP-pen stores (there are a few showrooms that sell them directly, but not in where I live) so I'd have to order the thing completely online, and there'd be nowhere to fix if issues arise.
    As for samsung, my country doesn't sell the lavender color for some reason (just silver, grey and mint green). At the time I'm writing this, some stores near my city are out of stock so I might have to order it online too. Tilting isn't an issue because to me pressure > tilt, but the glass screen is a bit too glossy for me, and buying the paperlike screen might cost a little more.

    • @teohontech7141
      @teohontech7141  6 місяців тому +2

      This is a tough choice because each tablet has its pros and cons. Don't worry too much about outdated Android because you can still install apps and all apps will still run in the future. Nowadays Android OS updates just add minor features anyway.
      For pen performance Samsung S Pen and Apple Pencil are best. In terms of value for money, Samsung and XPpen provide better value simply because of the lower price point.
      For writing, I probably recommend Samsung because of the better latency and 90Hz refresh display.
      iPad base model is ancient.

      Difficult question. In terms of specs, the XPPen Magic Drawing Pad is on par or better than the other two. Ultimately it comes down to which app you use. CSP and Ibis Paint X has adjustment for cursor misalignment. And whether you use tilt brushes. If you don't mind the cursor misalignment, to me it's not a big deal but to others it may be. Samsung S Pen will still have the best drawing performance.

      Choose based on the software you want to use. If you don't have to use desktop apps for drawing, getting the portable tablets will be more convenient that's for sure.
      So it will be between 12.2-inch xppen and vs 11 Samsung Tab S9 FE. It's a difficult choice. I personally may prefer Samsung because I do use tilt brushes and S Pen has tilt while xppen's pen does not have tilt. But I like xppen display 3:2 aspect ratio much more, and the matte display is kinda nice.

      Not sure about better, but different. Huawei runs HarmonyOS and will have Google Play Store restrictions even when installed.

    Why does everyone list the area ratio instead of the coverage ratio? The area ratio is a useless number and tells you nothing about what colors the screen actually reproduces.

      There is not a tablet on that size. The models for desk tablet monitors do exist and the pen is compatible with this model. The artist pro 2gen 16 is a really nice option for that

    What bothers me most about this device is how slow it is with reacting to your pen strokes - even at low stabilization settings, the lines lag behind significantly when sketching or doing even the slightest fast strokes.
    It's very annoying.
