Perfect purchase for me, exactly what I was looking for!

Synthic as synthic. Suitable for work well, as an initial tablet - hardly. A tablet from another manufacturer can be bought two times cheaper, especially from aliexpress, the only reason I switched to synthic is that there are no problems with drivers between my intuos and synthic. Worked on Huion kamvas 16 pro before, but because from time to time I work either on a regular tablet or on a screen tablet, I had to reinstall firewood either with a wack or a huion, which was very annoying.

Pros

Low price (for a synth), no parallax effect like on previous models, less crystal effect on the screen, fairly uniform backlight and more correct gamma out of the box than previous models in my opinion. The size is ideal for artists who do not draw on it constantly, but only in specific tasks: line, some selections and fills, tasks that require accuracy, and so on. There is a VESA standard mount on the back, and due to the tablet's light weight, it can be conveniently placed on the arm and moved as needed.

Cons

There is a radiator grill on top of the tablet, the slightest drop of liquid and the end of the tablet. The power button on the front panel has already accidentally turned off the tablet a couple of times when drawing. Proprietary connector at the wire, but fortunately it is much better protected than before and the design does not allow for wobble in the socket.
