Gifted to an aspiring artist who loves it.

I know a 12 year old girl who loves to draw. She needed features, options, and a way to "draw with a pen," but she flipped through the paper at a terrible speed and ended up liking "this part of this picture and that part of this picture." The transition to digital technology was therefore quite natural. It had a lot of electronics, but nothing with a pen interface that would support drawing well. This solved this problem very well. It's used on a Linux based laptop and with the addition of drivers it's not hard to come by and the instructions were a breeze for anyone familiar with Linux or know someone who is. I can't talk to it without a Windows-based device to try, but it should be even easier. Since it's just an addition to the UI, she's battled her way through a variety of drawing tools while having a lot of fun. She used it with other friends and they liked it a lot too. For the price it works better than expected. I would say that I think there will be an upgrade path here at some point. If she sticks with it, I think she'll end up wanting something that's built into the drawing "right on the screen". But I knew this one didn't work like that when I bought it. And considering the price of these drawing options compared to this tablet, it was very easy and natural to pull the trigger. The table has buttons for configuring the software you are using and is really very convenient to use.

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • Requires an outlet
