Daughter got this drawing tablet for Christmas and so far she loves it! It would have been nice if a single USB-C cable was included, but I had to purchase it separately. I tried both connections and saw no difference in response or image quality. So it's up to you whether you want to pay extra for a single USB-C connection. The pen works well and I appreciate that it comes with extra nibs in case it breaks or wears out. We haven't tried connecting it to a phone because she has an iPhone, but it would be nice if it was compatible with iOS. Overall it scores very well but based on what I mentioned I only give it 4 stars in the value for money category. If they update it to work with iOS in the future I will change it to 5.
