[VSG]

Huion has updated its popular Kamvas 13 graphics tablet with a better screen, a newer pen and two color options, thus making the Kamvas 13 (Gen 3) highly attractive to content creators who illustrate for a living. It's also priced well enough to interest prosumers who might be interested in drawing as a hobby.

Graphics tablets aren't something I use, but the vis department here all switched to Huion a few years ago because Wacom were quadruple the cost for rather pedestrian hardware that shouldn't cost as much as Wacom are asking for it. Can't remember the exact model but I think they were about £600 for 22" QHD Huion tablets and they've never regretted anything about them whatsoever - these are full-time artists with decade(s) of using Wacom, too.

Stylus-enabled displays aren't exactly new tech so I'm not sure why some Wacom tablets which are just stylus-enabled displays cost more than entire ultraportable 2-in-1 laptops that feature near-identical displays - some of them even have displays proudly listed as using Wacom digitisers. When Wacom want more money for the same thing but missing ALL OF THE REST OF THE LAPTOP, it's pure madness.

Last Christmas we didn't know what to give our 7-year-old son and decided to buy a Kamvas Pro 13 and the truth is that it surprised me very positively.

It has brutal precision and you can draw very easily with it. My son had a bit of trouble transitioning from paper to a graphic tablet but almost a year later he paints and draws a lot with it without wasting paper.

I was thinking about getting one for my 10 year old niece, your mini-review just convinced my to go through with it, thank you.

Same here, thx a lot for the 'quick look' ! My daughter has been using a refurbished Wacom One for a couple of years now, and I feel it is time for a replacement. It's not really my field of expertise, so to read something about this here (our reputable tech site of choice), just provided a very interesting alternative.

if you want to give a serious try to drawing with a graphic table it's better to get something a little bigger like 15 inches, it lets you move you arm better so it's less likely to tire out your wrist.
