Remember to ignore all chinese shills.

Recommended tablets:

>Intuos Pro Medium
Best screenless tablet.
>Huion 22 Plus
Best quality per dollar.
>Intuos Medium, Inspiroy 2, HS611, Xencelabs medium.
Also good options.
>Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite
Budget portable display tablet. Very solid drawing experience.
>Used iPad Pro 3rd Gen 12.9"
Best option for a display independent tablet.
>Galaxy Tab S7+/S8+
Good premium alternative to an iPad Pro
>XP Pen Deco LW
Solid cheap option
>XP pen Artist Pro 2nd gen, Ugee 16'
Cheap display tablet, slight line wobble but nothing the bare minimum stabilization can't fix.

AVOID:

>Artisul, Veikk, Gaomon
Poor software (Artisul) Poor build quality (Veikk), lackluster pens, broken tilt, struggles to register light pressure (Gaomon), horrible customer support and the displays are not calibrated.

>Huion and XP-Pen before 2019
Though Huion has good costumer support.
Their tablets tend to get shittier the older you get them.

>Microsoft Surface Pro
The N-Trig digitizer means you will always get wobbly lines.

>Lenovo
Bad drawing performance because they're not designed with art in mind.

>iPads (brand new), Cintiqs (>16') Wacom One - Bad value
>iMacs and Macbooks - Never buy this garbage under any circumstance. It's a locked ecosystem with rubbish hardware you can't upgrade
