Review on Efficient 12-Inch LCD Writing Tablet With Intelligent Paper For Family, School, And Office Use by Max Guerrero

I bought this in December 2019 for my son to replace a name brand table that had lasted him 2 years of constant use. The other tablet eventually became so scratched that he couldn't draw on it. I bought this tablet because it was larger than his old one, which had been discontinued.Pros:The area for writing/drawing on this pad is large.It is remarkably thin but relatively sturdy and without much flex.It is lightweight.Inexpensive.Cons:Erase function stopped working reliably after 6 months. I can jiggle the battery compartment or unscrew it and remove & reinstall the battery and it will work briefly, but then stops again.Screen is pulling away from the frame near the erase button.Pen is flimsy and small. The nib has pulled out and I had to re-glue it.Not as bright and contrasty as the name brand tablet.I'm sure the company would replace this under warranty, but it's not worth the hassle for such an inexpensive item. My daughter's name brand tablet that I bought at the same time as my son's is still going strong; she uses it daily (but nowhere as often as my son did). That tablet has an easily replaceable battery, a sturdy pen, a brighter screen, but also a smaller writing surface.Bottom line: This is a good enough item for light use, but is essentially disposable. Does what it says and is as advertised, but nothing particularly special. Three stars.
