No compromises at a fraction of the price

As a concept artist and illustrator I have bought and used countless tablets from many brands including Wacom, Artisul, Xp-Pen Pen and more. I have bought and used many Huion drawing tablets and they are all good quality. This new Kamvas 13 does not disappoint. Based on personal experience, Huion really listens to feedback to improve its products and provide good customer service. So when I bought it I was excited because I realized they made updates that were important to me as a digital artist. This tablet is actually a significant improvement over last year's kamvas pro13. And that for half the price. Some improvements include the ability to use a 1-in-1 USB-C cable for convenience and portability. There are also some software performance improvements, as well as improved pen technology. Design: I love the fact that this tablet comes in a variety of colors. Despite the fact that the tablet's body is made of plastic, it doesn't feel flimsy or flimsy. Feels strong yet light enough to move with ease. Screen: Colors look very accurate, especially for a matte screen. In fact, the screen comes with a protective film pre-applied. Its texture makes for a nice intuitive drawing experience as it doesn't look like your drawing on glass and is more like paper. This is especially good for people who are just starting out with digital art. My only issue with the screen is that the stylus tip can wear out quicker than expected over time and create a dot if you're not careful. Huion has replacement screen protectors for this tablet. Software: The default pen pressure curve is much smoother. No wobbling when drawing long straight lines. With the driver you can now create a more customized two-point pen pressure treatment for your Caveman boxes. There is almost no calibration/parallax. **Note to users**: For best calibration results, use the stylus to move the points to the drawing's natural position instead of aligning them vertically. great experience. The curve is highly customizable. The stylus is quite sensitive and seems to pick up even the lightest of marks well. I don't feel like I have to press too hard or too light. With the textured personality of the protective film, I felt as close as possible to drawing in a sketchbook. Portability: I've always wanted to use a tablet with a display on the go with a laptop and not have to deal with all those cables and be near a coffee shop. It's great that there's finally a tablet that can do that too. It can be powered from a laptop or even a phone with a single USB-C cable. This tablet is also much smaller than last year's version and fits nicely in a small backpack or laptop bag with enough space. **Note to users** This tablet does not come with a 1-in-1 USB cable. It must be purchased separately. In theory, there are other USB-C cables that can power the tablet, but the cables I've used never fully worked. So I decided to buy a cable. Conclusion Note that this tablet has professional features at an entry-level price. Everything I could want in a tablet with a display is in this tablet for only $250. A year ago I spent $650 on an Artisul tablet and it doesn't come close to the quality of this tablet. I have Huion tablets in my home studio and in my employer's studio office, so that should say something. I have to say that Kamvas 13 is 10/10 for me. If you are a beginner, this is the perfect digital art tablet. If you're a pro, this is a product with many of the latest features at a fraction of the price of other brands. Here you make no sacrifices or compromises.
