I'm so glad Huion is finally getting into this space. They really interrupt the market, and they do an excellent job. I wish this was out when I was buying a laptop/windows tablet.
A teardown would have been nice. A lot of manufactures claim their devices are non upgradable but sometimes it's just they don't want you opening the thing up. I know my laptop(now 5 years old) claims to have just one ram upgrade slot, but it actually has a second under the keyboard that takes some work to get to. To see the mainboard and the cooling setup would have been nice. But I'm a tech nerd.
I agree that Huion did well with this, but PERSONALLY, I don't want/need a camera or fancy speakers. Just speakers to hear BT connection queues really. I love the idea of portable drawing tablets specifically for drawing/design/rendering. Because like you said Brad, the surface is a catch all product. This is a good step in the right direction, just for me, save a bit of money (if it even does) by leaving out a camera and keeping basic speakers.
my thinking exactly. Might check out the gen 4 or 5 in a few years when I can justify it as a full time pro drawing device and they iron out some of those quirks :)
Mostly the reason to go Windows is to get access to Windows software. I have a Surface Pro 8, the first surface and pen combo I can actually draw on nicely and I have this so I can use it with Blender and 3D Coat for low poly texturing. This product would be better drawing surface and it’s so tempting but…. Keyboard options If you don’t need Windows software, then iPad Pro and even lesser models, is way cheaper and is incredible for drawing on, especially with a matte screen protector. I have to say ~3hrs drawing on battery for a Windows PC isn’t too bad
It's nice to see the resolution and color space improve in their devices. The main reason I decided not to keep a 24" model a while back was because of how dim the display was. I don't feel they were truthful in the specs they provided.
You need to include some kind of initial activation test cause It got so much worse from second gen huion pens to 3.0 ones and no reviewer talked about it
@@hyakki5287 they have much higher initial activation, I tried to upgrade from the kamvas 20 2019 to the kamvas 22 plus I think and had to resell the 22 cause it was a giant downgrade
Some of these shortcomings could have been avoided if they had gone with the newer cpu's. That would have brought the heat down a lot, have the fan kick in less and improve battery life tons. The new Ryzen 7-7730u, Ryzen 5-7530u or i7-1260p/1270p or i7-1255u would have solved some of these issues. Choosing the Ryzen 7 or 5 would have also kept the price way more competitive. While the review is great, I don't I agree with you on the price, it's not right there. It's too expensive, for that price I expect more recent hardware. While in the US it's arguably reasonably priced, though still on the too high end, in Europe it's absurd. This cost more then the new Samsung Book3 Pro 360 in Europe. And no that's not due to taxes, even with taxes added this should not be $600 more in Europe (yes, that's the price difference). I'm sure it's a great device, but highly overpriced for outdated hardware and that reminds me way too much of what Wacom is doing. When they announced this device initialy, I was excited. When they released the specs, I got less excited already, but figured they would do it to keep the price down and thought this would be at the most €1400. I would have paid that and even set some money aside to get this. Until they anounced the price. I'm not paying €2299 for this, which is absurd. Looked around a little and decided to go with the new Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 5 Gen 8 instead. Perhaps unfortunatelly it has the keyboard attached, but as a 2-in-1 it works fine. Cost me €1200, upgraded model, standard it's less than €1000. That upgrade has the Ryzen 7-7730u (8 cores instead of 4), 16Gb of RAM and 1Tb of storage (instead of 512Gb). It has a lot more ports and a SD-Card slot, which for me is a must. Best of all, it has a 16" screen, that is so much better than the old 15.6". It's quiet and has great battery life, I can easily draw 6 hours on it. The Lenovo pen is different, but having Wacom technology, it does the job well. It's definitely more accurate then the 3.0 pen that came with my Huion Kamvas 16 2021. Not saying that the Huion pen is bad, not at all, but the Lenovo Digital Pen is more accurate. Huion got me interested in a device like this, I give them that credit. I would have loved the Kamvas Studio 16 if it was priced more reasonable. But I don't regret not buying the IdeadPad Flex 5, since the Ryzen 7 7730u is a powerhouse while being energy efficient.
@@Wainey Brad is a nice guy and if he thinks it's reasonably priced than that's his good right. I'm sure there are more people that think that way. As soon as you start to compare and see how others price their hardware then right price suddenly is very relative.
@@perlance1337 I'm wondering if they outsource the creating of this device which raises the price. I read in some tech news that Lenovo and Huion have entered a partnership and wonder if these units are actually manufactured at the Lenovo facitilities. That would cause a bit higher price, though Lenovo themselves are known for very competitive pricing, same as Huion used to stand for.
Maybe I will be banned to say so but if you have a friend living in Middle east he can order for you this device for 1699 USD... Yes... The price is high due tax but it was not intended to be so expensive... Even in Italy is crazy expensive... But not in Oman or Emirates... Maybe it is not helpful but I wanted to share it 😊
For some reason, I wasn't expecting Huion to get into the 'tablet optimised for digital art creation' (I'm sure there's a proper term for that) space, and clicked on this video thinking he was just reviewing a pen display. So far, just going by this review, I feel impressed.
@@L0rd0fTh3N3rdz Yep! The only other one I can think of that's like that is the Wacom MobileStudio series (and the older but confusingly named Cintiq Companion series that came before that). For me, however, I do plan to get a Lenovo Yoga with pen input support (ThinkPad X13 Yoga, to be more specific) when I'm able to upgrade my secondary PC, though that isn't optimised for digital art, but would be better suited to my overall use considering that most of my time on time on my current secondary PC (a ThinkPad X250) is spent in productivity apps and Web browsers as it doesn't have pen input.
For someone who has had many Wacom, XP pen and Huion tablets, i’m so exited that Huion is finally entering this space. They’re one of my favorite brands, and seeing the thing i’m trying to get for my wife, be from a brand I trust, i’m very excited.
No glove dance today? 😁 Hmmm... looks interesting. I wish I could try this first before deciding whether to get it or not. As usual, thanks for the great review, Brad!
Just watched your video on this NEW device and I want to say thank you for the 411 on it. I had a feeling that Huion would be coming out with something like this when all the pricing was dropping recently and behold, I was right. It makes me wonder just when XP Pen will have something to offset this as well. I like the specs this devices has. For me, this is something I would like to get from myself. This would eliminate most of what I have now. So, as I said before, Thank you! You have helped me over the years in chosing products for my personal use that have keep me within my budget and push myself in the realm of digital art!
I'm glad you reviewed this! I had a surface book 2 and as much as I loved it, it was terrible for drawing. Photoshop would barely work and it caused me a lot of stress especially because at the time I was getting my bfa in illustration.
I've been using a gen1 Wacom Companion (the 13 inch predecessor to the Mobile Studio) for years. Some bad experiences with Wacom support made me vow never to buy their products again, so I've been waiting for one of their few competitors to make a mobile computer tablet.
I had not realized that Huion had launched an independent tablet like Wacom Mobile Studio Pro. I have a 13-inch mobile but it is very possible that I will buy this one with the characteristics you mention and sell my mobile
Glad this worked out for you and looks great. I had purchased a Windows 10 Pro upgrade license from Windows Store and it wouldn't activate. Took over 20hrs on the phone with MS Support doing multiple things, taking pics of the screen, having them remote in, and writing War & Peace explanation before they would finally just give me a new license. Might've just been an MS oopsie.
Still can't see why anyone would buy this over a standard pen display, which you can attach to any computer which can be upgraded at any time. I appreciate your review, though.
It really depends on the person, really. But in most cases, I've seen it's because people really want to use PC-only software like Blender or Adobe etc without the hassle of carrying a whole laptop or the limitations/going for "alternative apps" route of an iPad or Android tablet but still have the convenience of a portable tablet, and this type of product is def not meant for the same audience as pen display users, which you do need to connect to a computer to use. I know my sis specifically wanted a Surface Pro or Mobile Studio over an ipad/Android tablet because she still prefers drawing with Paint Tool SAI over any other drawing apps. She's been carrying her laptop *and* Intuos tablet to work but it's often a hassle to set up to make it a portable drawing/workstation haha.
Portability... I change locations a lot and hauling around my laptop and Kamvas 16 is really heavy and always costs time to set up. While I planned on getting this, the price in Europe is way too much, so I got a 2-in-1 instead. Saves so much time, I can illustrate and design anywhere I like without having to set anything up.
@@Kogami Sai doesn't really work on the Surface Pro. The program doesn't have any touch features whatsoever, no tap to undo, no pinch zoom or rotate, nothing. It makes it extremely difficult and unintuitive to use on a touch screen. And that's Sai Version 2, Version 1 interface won't even open at the correct size due to an issue with the screen resolution. If she does get something like a Surface Pro, she'll most likely have to use a different program or hook up a seperate tablet to it anyways to use Sai.
@@velvi8359Most artists don’t use touch gestures, they turn it off if its a feature of the tablet and proceed with a keyboard. And you are wrong about paint tool sai not working, as it works for me.
Would love to see a side by side comparison with the touch computers for drawing like the surfaces (yes including the laptop one) and the Wacom mobile thingy, or maybe the Samsung things
@@RafaelDrumondRego at work we had several and i had to maintain them and they got so so hot just straight from boot fans on and heavy clunky, coming from surface pro 8 they felt like ancient tech
@@godboat. Thank you! I plan on getting a replacement for my 10 year old laptop. But where I am currently living the Huion Studio 16 is almost the wacom price. Maybe the surface studio laptop with GPU could be a better option. Maybe I should scratch that wacom off my list. Thanks again XD
its also worth mentioning that while this thing costs $1699, when going to an eu store, it costs a whopping 2299€ ! Which like...wow 600 difference. Not really worth it in EU pricing in my opinion.
I don't even understand why that is the case. People keep blaming "taxes", but that can't be it. Taking an example, the Kamvas 16 Pro 2.5k currently costs just $45 more in the UK than the USA (equiv. $585 vs $539). When the Studio models were first announced, I thought it was an error that would be corrected on launch, but here we are.
I like the idea of the product, but I’m shocked at the price. I did some poking around on Amazon and you get a comparable experience with a decently powerful laptop and their 16 inch pen display for a boy $300-$400 less. This product just feels like a weird niche between their pen displays and their desktop all-in-ones. All this being said, I still stand by my opinion that if you want/need a portable way to do art, your best bet is an iPad. Or, y’know, a sketchbook and a pencil.
Yeah, I really shocked too, if you put a litte bit money to the price u can get ROG or even MSI with touchscreen, considering this is more like computer than drawing tablet, its better to just get a whole laptop than this, its a good innovation tho from huion
If you're using CSP, I'd recommend a Samsung tablet over an iPad. The Apple pencil is decent but not great. Because it's a "drawing tablet," the quality of the pen is more important than the touchscreen. If you don't understand the significance of the pen, you're not an artist, and that device is not for you.
@@DraconicA5 but ipad has longer support and just overall a very solid device. My experience with any android is that they get laggy and slower in just a few months. My iPad 8 is still as fast as the first day I bought it.
@@yamapishy9792 That is why I stated, "If you use CSP." I'm using an iPad Pro 11 (2020) as portable drawing tablet. Apple Pencil, in my opinion, is vastly overrated. The iPad is good, but not great as a "drawing tablet." If I didn't play Genshin, I would have purchased a Galaxy Tab because it's way better to draw on.
Or samsung. The big downside to windows tablets is windows itself and the required hardware and associated battery requirements. Which is where the other tablets shine.
Nice review. Thanks. If this new Huion tablet PC came with more RAM or a separate GPU I would consider buying it but as is I don't think it is that much better than a Samsung Galaxy Book 3 360 for Clip Studio Paint and casual ZBrush.
When pricing goes down i would love to get one. As-is the processor is a bit outdated at this point so i couldnt justify purchasing at that price, ram is decent and decent storage, usb options are lacking but wow look, a headphone jack! lol Strange choice not to include some sort of cover or pouch for the screen either. Maybe their next model will be for me
I'm waiting the screen only version with touchscreen. We need competitor for wacom pro touchscreen, their price is outrageously expensive for regular people.
I use XPPen regularly as my main, and I tried a 2021 Huin Kamvas 16 model earlier this year, the pen pressure just felt weird. The screen was great, everything was good, except for the pen. It wasnt broken or anything, just has a weird way they do pressure with their pens, it feels like it goes from low to high too fast, hence worse pressure detection. Maybe I was just unlucky.
I might have missed this, but besides working as a complete workstation and not needing to be plugged into a computer, can it work as a pen display while plugged into a pc?
still worried about huion, Seems like they have pretty poor support and i´m also worried about firmware/software updates so avoid bugs and other issues in 1,2 or 5 years. Seens some having some issues. but I'm not super up to date
I currently use a 12.9 iPad pro hooked up to a projector to use it as a white board when teaching math. It's difficult to write neatly when the surface is a little slippery, and a larger screen would be helpful. I'm tempted to consider the product above, even though I wouldn't us it for drawing.
Might want to check out some screen protectors and pen tip options. The iPad as it's delivered is a bit like drawing with hard slippery plastic on glass, because it basically is just that
Brad, I have the 1st gen Wacom MobileStudio Pro 16. This Kamvas 16 looks just like it, even down to the pen storage thingie. It's like Huion used the same vendor Wacom used and just slapped their name on it. Not a bad thing, because it's a great product, just thought it interesting.
What are you talking about? As screen drawing tablet laptops go, they couldn’t be different. On had a bunch of buttons on the side and this doesn’t. The bezels on the Mobile studio make my 13” MSP seem bigger than my MacBook Pro 16”. The MSP has curved edges. Has no stand on the back. This thing looks closer to an iPad Pro than a mobile studio pro. And no one is mistaking this for an iPad either.
I was really excited to see this in my feed... And then you said 11th gen i7 and 16GB of ram. Right now it looks like there is likely a new revision for the Surface Laptop Studio on the horizon later this year and based on surface pricing patterns so far it should come in at between $2000 and $2300 depending on configuration. Leaks are showing a 13th gen i7, 64GB of Ram and a RTX460m. Knowing that is on the way I think Huion really missed the mark with this. It needed to come out swinging with current gen processing and a decent mobile graphics processor. For now I will be holding out for the Surface.
One thing compared to Surface Pro, is that Surface does not support Wintab drivers. If you use a drawing program that needs Wintab, you are screwed. That is a good reason to go with this Huion, plus being 16 vs 13 inches.
Needs a few physical buttons on the back . So when you draw with the right hand for example, the 4 fingers of the left resting at the back would intuitively find l 4 programmable buttons for the most frequently used functions. That IMHO is the perfect layout for a dedicated drawing/sculpting tablet pc. And you should also be able to be able to plug it into a powerful desktop and use purely as a connected tablet like (I believe) the Wacom Mobile Studio.
Same, last week I was told that it would be mailed to my local warehouse in a week. I checked back this week, and was told that it would be mailed to my local warehouse in 3 weeks.
The number one issue I've encountered on other tablets is touch sensitivity, AKA... PALM REJECTION. It so doesn't work, at least for me, so I usually have to disable touch altogether. It constantly jumps the cursor somewhere else, defeating the whole notion of "fast sketching". I'm surprised you didn't say anything about it. Can touch sensitivity be turned off, or moderated? How well did that work, resting your palm on the tablet?
This is really cool! Thanks Brad for the review! A shame they didn't go with AMD ryzen since these are more efficient than Intel's 11 gen! And I agree with you expandable storage and RAM would have been cool! But a really awesome product nonetheless!
I purchased a Huion 2.5k Kamvas 2 years ago and it has been one big disappointment. Not a single support update, no website, no support when there is attempts to contact them; it is a big fart!
I have a surface pro that i bought back in 2017 and its not anywhere close to a cintiq naturally. Last year i bought a ryzen 5 laptop with humble specs for about 1200USD+- intending to use with my intuos because ive already gave up on having a cintiq like drawing experience on the go. This year ive tried a friend's kamvas 16 and i was immediately sold. Ive been using a cintiq pro as my main tablet for the past 6 years since the start of my art journey and honestly the kamvas was basically the same as my cintiq. The wacom pen even works on the kamvas and viceversa too.. stolen tech? Idk but its so much cheaper so im all for it! Now this launches.. im a little salty cos this is basically even cheaper than the price of my laptop + intuos if it had similar specs. Ill say if youre looking for a windows drawing experience on the go, i dont think there's literally a better device than this. Price for performance wise. Btw, wacom studio pros also overheat so much their rubber feet can melt if you leave them on the bed or some suffocating surface. Its just a thing youll have to deal with for these powerful tablets.
It's the same EMR technology. You can't stole something out of nature. Wacom has dominated pen technology for decades, but their reign is coming to an end because their EMR patent has expired and cannot be renewed.
@@inesgarcia5523I'm honestly not a big fan. I use it with illustrator and find it a bit tedious. But I do a lot of 2d technical sketches that require millimeter precision. For just drawing/painting it's not bad and capable. It runs illustrator decently well, but that's really the only bit of software I've run on it. My biggest complaint is that it has extremely lack luster touch/shortcut control via huions own software. So you might want too look at 3rd party software for digital shortcut buttons. Otherwise you'll need a keyboard/side pad thing. Overall I'd give it a 6/10. It does quite a few things, but it doesn't do them exceptionally well.
Thank you so much for your great review... I was super happy when I saw it was available 😍... I believe this Huion is a very interesting device... Maybe I would have included an USB port A because it is necessary... I'm not sad about the low quality of the Audio. The portability is very cool but even the idea you can simply sketch on a sofa or everywhere you like at home... In your opinion this spec are enough for a software like Mojo or Opentoonz? Thank youuuuu! ❤
I was actually quite interested at the beginning to purchase a wacom mobile but honestly, even during Easter offer during which they made 1000 euro discount I felt not comfortable. The device is 2019 and at that time was already outdated....but the worst part was the huge amount of complaints... I never saw any wacom device with so many customers disappointed in so many different way... This is why I'm considering kamvas 16...😁
I have a question... If we compare kamvas studio 16 vs Wacom mobile 16, which one would you reccomend to buy? Surely Kamvas is better than surface Pro but I feel like the real match here is against the super expensive Wacom Mobile 🤔
Hey Brad, Lenovo Tab P11 Pro Gen 2 is stylus supported with Desktop Mode, might want to review as an entry level ($229 without stylus, before price increase due to demand according to ETA Prime)
Question on your Acer ConceptD 3 Ezel pen. How do you draw without clicking the buttons on the pen? How do I disable it? I can't seem to find it. I just want that whenever the pen comes in contact with the screen, it draws. Not by coming in contact and have to press the button to draw.
It continues to drive me crazy that Apple refuses to make a product in this category. I recently bought an iPad Pro, foolishly thinking that I would be able to do all of the work that I do on my Mac, going back and forth with the same files. The entire tablet OS experience is so restrictive, all I want is real MacOS running on a tablet device!
Hi Brad! Great review. How does it compare with Wacom MobileStudio Pro in drawing experience? I have a Mobilestudio 16 and a Surface 4. The MobileStudio is far better. It has just the right screen texture.
Hi Brad and thank you for your excellent presentation (as usual). I got 2 quetions Will you recommand this tablet instead of wacom mobile studio ? What about it's graphic card ? It is the same than the cheap one integrated in surface pro ? Thx in letting me know please
Since this is an entire computer with Windows 11 as it's OS, I guess my question is... does it also work with Linux? Does the system allows us to install a different OS? If so, this machine would be a great opportunity to switch to Linux and Krita as the drawing app, right?
I've always wanted a pen display laptop, but I'm really picky cuz I work in 3D, so when I saw the GPUs the 16" and 24" come with, I was promptly disappointed :(
Not bad at all. The only kicker from it being a true mobile device is the short battery life which kinda makes me feel that the screen only version is much better value plugged into my MacBook Pro m1pro.
Is this product always allowed to be plugged into the charger? Doesn't it always cause overcharging and cause the battery to swell like Wacom Mobile Studios?
just annoyed that is so much more expensive in Europe for some reason. Makes it even not so worth it considering I could get the Microsoft laptop with GPU for the price here. Or even the mobile studio pro...
Genjutsu wont work on boruto because he is otsutsuki and they are ressistant against genjutsu. Bu even if it did, if there is someone who has enough willpower to brake out of it, it is Boruto. I mean he is constantly fightning with momoshiki about his body. Plus he several times awaken back after momoshiki took over. That just speaks that even if he falls in genjutsu (somehow) he can brake out.
I’m thinking of getting this to replace my 1st gen MobileStudio Pro 13. For those who have used the Kamvas Studio 16 for a while, how is it? Is there anything I should look out for if I do decide to get this?
Hi Brad, great content. Quick question. I have a new relatively powerful laptop I just got for drawing and 3d work but I'm looking for a drawing display. I looked into huion and xpen products also wacom BUT with the Galaxy S8+ is a fully functional table (which I could use) do you think I would lose out on drawing functionality if I choose that over an actual drawing display? My question is are drawing displays that much better when it comes to drawing precision then a tab s8+ that it worths sacrificing tablet functionslity? Thank you
@@WORKOFBINUS I also ordered it last week, emailed Huion support and they say they will have notices until mid of may :( but have seen some other people that are waiting for it since february
I had the cintiq companion 2 which is kinda similar to this one, it was amazing! but it died after 5 years of not harsh use, and I also saw plenty of people who had problems with all the cintiq companion / mobile studio pro after a while (even whithin the same year) I would really like to give this device a chance, but I would not like it to have the same problems as the Wacom Could you review this tablet again after a while?
I had the Cintiq Companion 1. It's still technically working, but I had to replace it twice within 6 months of buying it due to hardware problems and I've burned my hand a few times resting it on the screen when making comics. I've learned nowadays not to trust any new artist device whose internals are two generations outdated anyway, but Brad saying this device got warm and other commenters bringing up Intel 11's bad cooling makes me assume this is going to be the Cintiq Companion all over again.
Wannag go for the s9 ultra too. Use since around 2 or 3 years the s7 fe. Mostly did buy for drawing. Never had problems with drawing apps and beautiful lcd screen. But the performance is the same as you did mention with the s9 fe and s9 ultra. Did also buy it when it was new for around 450€ sadly a few months the stronger... what was it? The s7 pro or s7+ ? Well did bite myself a lil in the butt cause it did cost 550 on amazon but had already one and was happy with it, so it wasnt worth it for me. Now im getting ready for the s9 ultra to get it for a good price too😅☻️
I'm surprised there's heat, this is something the Surface line addressed with the Pro 4 vs the 3. 3 was hot if you had it on and the fan was always on, Pro 4 was cool all the time and the fan was only on during a windows update or something intensive like a game. My 2-in-1 laptop that I draw directly on doesn't get hot even with CSP and a twitch stream open- the fan doesn't even kick on. I've been hoping huion would get into a portable computer space but this thing is just way, way too expensive. Lenovo sells a 2-in-1 laptop with pen support that's 16in that is $1,100 normally and I've seen it hit $900. With the Kamvas Studio 16 here, I just don't see the $600+ difference in performance.
"Out of the realm of affordable" Boy did you say it. On their store it says that in US dollars it's $1700 but when you switch it to Canadian it says it's $2900, which is almost $600 more than if you convert American to Canadian dollars, so there must be a lot of tariffs on it or something as well.
I'm so glad Huion is finally getting into this space. They really interrupt the market, and they do an excellent job. I wish this was out when I was buying a laptop/windows tablet.
A teardown would have been nice. A lot of manufactures claim their devices are non upgradable but sometimes it's just they don't want you opening the thing up. I know my laptop(now 5 years old) claims to have just one ram upgrade slot, but it actually has a second under the keyboard that takes some work to get to. To see the mainboard and the cooling setup would have been nice. But I'm a tech nerd.
I agree that Huion did well with this, but PERSONALLY, I don't want/need a camera or fancy speakers. Just speakers to hear BT connection queues really.

This is a good step in the right direction, just for me, save a bit of money (if it even does) by leaving out a camera and keeping basic speakers.
3 hours for 93% battery, I think the iPad 9 or air 5 might be a better option for now, but I'm so happy huion will be improving this from now on
Better option if you don't need Photoshop / Blender etc etc etc...
If you believe the iPad is better, this product is not for you.
my thinking exactly. Might check out the gen 4 or 5 in a few years when I can justify it as a full time pro drawing device and they iron out some of those quirks :)
I've honestly felt really limited by the iPad due to software and canvas size limits... def thinking about this...
Mostly the reason to go Windows is to get access to Windows software. I have a Surface Pro 8, the first surface and pen combo I can actually draw on nicely and I have this so I can use it with Blender and 3D Coat for low poly texturing. This product would be better drawing surface and it’s so tempting but…. Keyboard options

Some of these shortcomings could have been avoided if they had gone with the newer cpu's. That would have brought the heat down a lot, have the fan kick in less and improve battery life tons. The new Ryzen 7-7730u, Ryzen 5-7530u or i7-1260p/1270p or i7-1255u would have solved some of these issues. Choosing the Ryzen 7 or 5 would have also kept the price way more competitive. While the review is great, I don't I agree with you on the price, it's not right there. It's too expensive, for that price I expect more recent hardware. While in the US it's arguably reasonably priced, though still on the too high end, in Europe it's absurd. This cost more then the new Samsung Book3 Pro 360 in Europe. And no that's not due to taxes, even with taxes added this should not be $600 more in Europe (yes, that's the price difference). I'm sure it's a great device, but highly overpriced for outdated hardware and that reminds me way too much of what Wacom is doing.
When they announced this device initialy, I was excited. When they released the specs, I got less excited already, but figured they would do it to keep the price down and thought this would be at the most €1400. I would have paid that and even set some money aside to get this. Until they anounced the price.
I'm not paying €2299 for this, which is absurd. Looked around a little and decided to go with the new Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 5 Gen 8 instead. Perhaps unfortunatelly it has the keyboard attached, but as a 2-in-1 it works fine. Cost me €1200, upgraded model, standard it's less than €1000. That upgrade has the Ryzen 7-7730u (8 cores instead of 4), 16Gb of RAM and 1Tb of storage (instead of 512Gb). It has a lot more ports and a SD-Card slot, which for me is a must. Best of all, it has a 16" screen, that is so much better than the old 15.6". It's quiet and has great battery life, I can easily draw 6 hours on it. The Lenovo pen is different, but having Wacom technology, it does the job well. It's definitely more accurate then the 3.0 pen that came with my Huion Kamvas 16 2021. Not saying that the Huion pen is bad, not at all, but the Lenovo Digital Pen is more accurate.
Huion got me interested in a device like this, I give them that credit. I would have loved the Kamvas Studio 16 if it was priced more reasonable. But I don't regret not buying the IdeadPad Flex 5, since the Ryzen 7 7730u is a powerhouse while being energy efficient.
I've noticed this with his reviews, he's very nice. I agree with you on all of these points, these just fell short and aren't worth it
Completely agree, 2299 dollary-doo's for a battery driven heater with a touchscreen? Do better Huion.
@@Wainey Brad is a nice guy and if he thinks it's reasonably priced than that's his good right. I'm sure there are more people that think that way. As soon as you start to compare and see how others price their hardware then right price suddenly is very relative.
@@perlance1337 I'm wondering if they outsource the creating of this device which raises the price. I read in some tech news that Lenovo and Huion have entered a partnership and wonder if these units are actually manufactured at the Lenovo facitilities. That would cause a bit higher price, though Lenovo themselves are known for very competitive pricing, same as Huion used to stand for.
Maybe I will be banned to say so but if you have a friend living in Middle east he can order for you this device for 1699 USD... Yes... The price is high due tax but it was not intended to be so expensive... Even in Italy is crazy expensive... But not in Oman or Emirates... Maybe it is not helpful but I wanted to share it 😊
For some reason, I wasn't expecting Huion to get into the 'tablet optimised for digital art creation' (I'm sure there's a proper term for that) space, and clicked on this video thinking he was just reviewing a pen display. So far, just going by this review, I feel impressed.
I just bought a laptop and a display tablet last Christmas. If this existed I would have just opted for this.
@@L0rd0fTh3N3rdz
Yep! The only other one I can think of that's like that is the Wacom MobileStudio series (and the older but confusingly named Cintiq Companion series that came before that).
For me, however, I do plan to get a Lenovo Yoga with pen input support (ThinkPad X13 Yoga, to be more specific) when I'm able to upgrade my secondary PC, though that isn't optimised for digital art, but would be better suited to my overall use considering that most of my time on time on my current secondary PC (a ThinkPad X250) is spent in productivity apps and Web browsers as it doesn't have pen input.
For someone who has had many Wacom, XP pen and Huion tablets, i’m so exited that Huion is finally entering this space. They’re one of my favorite brands, and seeing the thing i’m trying to get for my wife, be from a brand I trust, i’m very excited.
No glove dance today? 😁
Hmmm... looks interesting. I wish I could try this first before deciding whether to get it or not. As usual, thanks for the great review, Brad!
Just watched your video on this NEW device and I want to say thank you for the 411 on it. I had a feeling that Huion would be coming out with something like this when all the pricing was dropping recently and behold, I was right. It makes me wonder just when XP Pen will have something to offset this as well. I like the specs this devices has. For me, this is something I would like to get from myself. This would eliminate most of what I have now. So, as I said before, Thank you! You have helped me over the years in chosing products for my personal use that have keep me within my budget and push myself in the realm of digital art!
I'm glad you reviewed this! I had a surface book 2 and as much as I loved it, it was terrible for drawing. Photoshop would barely work and it caused me a lot of stress especially because at the time I was getting my bfa in illustration.
I've been using a gen1 Wacom Companion (the 13 inch predecessor to the Mobile Studio) for years. Some bad experiences with Wacom support made me vow never to buy their products again, so I've been waiting for one of their few competitors to make a mobile computer tablet.
I had not realized that Huion had launched an independent tablet like Wacom Mobile Studio Pro. I have a 13-inch mobile but it is very possible that I will buy this one with the characteristics you mention and sell my mobile
Glad this worked out for you and looks great. I had purchased a Windows 10 Pro upgrade license from Windows Store and it wouldn't activate. Took over 20hrs on the phone with MS Support doing multiple things, taking pics of the screen, having them remote in, and writing War & Peace explanation before they would finally just give me a new license. Might've just been an MS oopsie.
For Europe the price is € 2299. I can't understand why so high.
External hard drive will do the extra storage or a usbc thumbdrive(they come with upto 2tb of space).
Still can't see why anyone would buy this over a standard pen display, which you can attach to any computer which can be upgraded at any time.
I appreciate your review, though.
It really depends on the person, really. But in most cases, I've seen it's because people really want to use PC-only software like Blender or Adobe etc without the hassle of carrying a whole laptop or the limitations/going for "alternative apps" route of an iPad or Android tablet but still have the convenience of a portable tablet, and this type of product is def not meant for the same audience as pen display users, which you do need to connect to a computer to use.
I know my sis specifically wanted a Surface Pro or Mobile Studio over an ipad/Android tablet because she still prefers drawing with Paint Tool SAI over any other drawing apps. She's been carrying her laptop *and* Intuos tablet to work but it's often a hassle to set up to make it a portable drawing/workstation haha.
Portability... I change locations a lot and hauling around my laptop and Kamvas 16 is really heavy and always costs time to set up. While I planned on getting this, the price in Europe is way too much, so I got a 2-in-1 instead. Saves so much time, I can illustrate and design anywhere I like without having to set anything up.
@@Kogami Sai doesn't really work on the Surface Pro. The program doesn't have any touch features whatsoever, no tap to undo, no pinch zoom or rotate, nothing. It makes it extremely difficult and unintuitive to use on a touch screen. And that's Sai Version 2, Version 1 interface won't even open at the correct size due to an issue with the screen resolution. If she does get something like a Surface Pro, she'll most likely have to use a different program or hook up a seperate tablet to it anyways to use Sai.
@@velvi8359Most artists don’t use touch gestures, they turn it off if its a feature of the tablet and proceed with a keyboard. And you are wrong about paint tool sai not working, as it works for me.
i long for teh day we can get a all-in-one tablet like this with a standalone GPU
Would love to see a side by side comparison with the touch computers for drawing like the surfaces (yes including the laptop one) and the Wacom mobile thingy, or maybe the Samsung things
the wacom thing is garbage unuseable
@@godboat. personal experience or did you read it somewhere?
@@RafaelDrumondRego at work we had several and i had to maintain them and they got so so hot just straight from boot fans on and heavy clunky, coming from surface pro 8 they felt like ancient tech
@@godboat. Thank you! I plan on getting a replacement for my 10 year old laptop. But where I am currently living the Huion Studio 16 is almost the wacom price. Maybe the surface studio laptop with GPU could be a better option. Maybe I should scratch that wacom off my list. Thanks again XD
@@RafaelDrumondRego yeah just depends what u need to use it for really, like u don't need a gpu unless hardcore gaming, rending or ai
its also worth mentioning that while this thing costs $1699, when going to an eu store, it costs a whopping 2299€ ! Which like...wow 600 difference. Not really worth it in EU pricing in my opinion.
I don't even understand why that is the case. People keep blaming "taxes", but that can't be it. Taking an example, the Kamvas 16 Pro 2.5k currently costs just $45 more in the UK than the USA (equiv. $585 vs $539). When the Studio models were first announced, I thought it was an error that would be corrected on launch, but here we are.
It’s called EU VAT.
I like the idea of the product, but I’m shocked at the price. I did some poking around on Amazon and you get a comparable experience with a decently powerful laptop and their 16 inch pen display for a boy $300-$400 less. This product just feels like a weird niche between their pen displays and their desktop all-in-ones.
All this being said, I still stand by my opinion that if you want/need a portable way to do art, your best bet is an iPad. Or, y’know, a sketchbook and a pencil.
Yeah, I really shocked too, if you put a litte bit money to the price u can get ROG or even MSI with touchscreen, considering this is more like computer than drawing tablet, its better to just get a whole laptop than this, its a good innovation tho from huion
If you're using CSP, I'd recommend a Samsung tablet over an iPad. The Apple pencil is decent but not great.
Because it's a "drawing tablet," the quality of the pen is more important than the touchscreen. If you don't understand the significance of the pen, you're not an artist, and that device is not for you.
@@DraconicA5 but ipad has longer support and just overall a very solid device. My experience with any android is that they get laggy and slower in just a few months. My iPad 8 is still as fast as the first day I bought it.
@@yamapishy9792 That is why I stated, "If you use CSP."
I'm using an iPad Pro 11 (2020) as portable drawing tablet. Apple Pencil, in my opinion, is vastly overrated. The iPad is good, but not great as a "drawing tablet." If I didn't play Genshin, I would have purchased a Galaxy Tab because it's way better to draw on.
Or samsung. The big downside to windows tablets is windows itself and the required hardware and associated battery requirements. Which is where the other tablets shine.
Nice review. Thanks. If this new Huion tablet PC came with more RAM or a separate GPU I would consider buying it but as is I don't think it is that much better than a Samsung Galaxy Book 3 360 for Clip Studio Paint and casual ZBrush.
Feels like a great product. Thanks Brad.
What about it performance in 3D modeling ?
How would this compare to the galaxybook2 360 in terms of experience?..
This could have really used some shortcut buttons on the side like Wacom's Mobile Studio.
Ipad pro vs Wacom Mobile Studio vs Huion Kamvas Studio please
When pricing goes down i would love to get one. As-is the processor is a bit outdated at this point so i couldnt justify purchasing at that price, ram is decent and decent storage, usb options are lacking but wow look, a headphone jack! lol Strange choice not to include some sort of cover or pouch for the screen either.
Maybe their next model will be for me
I'm waiting the screen only version with touchscreen.
We need competitor for wacom pro touchscreen, their price is outrageously expensive for regular people.
Thank you for this, Grateful for your review!
That’s pretty wicked! I will get one of these in the future.
I use XPPen regularly as my main, and I tried a 2021 Huin Kamvas 16 model earlier this year, the pen pressure just felt weird. The screen was great, everything was good, except for the pen. It wasnt broken or anything, just has a weird way they do pressure with their pens, it feels like it goes from low to high too fast, hence worse pressure detection. Maybe I was just unlucky.
Could you make a side by side comparison of the Wacom mobile studio and this device?
3:40 Yea, but for left hand users like me...
And I live in a city with a hot climate, I would definitely notice the heating.
I might have missed this, but besides working as a complete workstation and not needing to be plugged into a computer, can it work as a pen display while plugged into a pc?
I wish. The website says no, but theoretically you might be able to rig something up. (It isn't like remoting technology is new.)
Did it come with a glove?
Yes
still worried about huion, Seems like they have pretty poor support and i´m also worried about firmware/software updates so avoid bugs and other issues in 1,2 or 5 years.
Seens some having some issues.
but I'm not super up to date
I currently use a 12.9 iPad pro hooked up to a projector to use it as a white board when teaching math. It's difficult to write neatly when the surface is a little slippery, and a larger screen would be helpful. I'm tempted to consider the product above, even though I wouldn't us it for drawing.
Might want to check out some screen protectors and pen tip options. The iPad as it's delivered is a bit like drawing with hard slippery plastic on glass, because it basically is just that
i have a surface book circa 2016... still great
Brad, I have the 1st gen Wacom MobileStudio Pro 16. This Kamvas 16 looks just like it, even down to the pen storage thingie. It's like Huion used the same vendor Wacom used and just slapped their name on it. Not a bad thing, because it's a great product, just thought it interesting.
Looks different, one is round and the other is square
What are you talking about? As screen drawing tablet laptops go, they couldn’t be different. On had a bunch of buttons on the side and this doesn’t. The bezels on the Mobile studio make my 13” MSP seem bigger than my MacBook Pro 16”. The MSP has curved edges. Has no stand on the back.
This thing looks closer to an iPad Pro than a mobile studio pro. And no one is mistaking this for an iPad either.
I was really excited to see this in my feed... And then you said 11th gen i7 and 16GB of ram. Right now it looks like there is likely a new revision for the Surface Laptop Studio on the horizon later this year and based on surface pricing patterns so far it should come in at between $2000 and $2300 depending on configuration. Leaks are showing a 13th gen i7, 64GB of Ram and a RTX460m. Knowing that is on the way I think Huion really missed the mark with this. It needed to come out swinging with current gen processing and a decent mobile graphics processor. For now I will be holding out for the Surface.
Man oh man excited for mine to arrive mid next month. I’m half wondering if they delayed the shipping to address the activation issues
Hey do you like yours? I was in the process of upgrading for my ipad, to a windows device and wanted to know how it was working out!
One thing compared to Surface Pro, is that Surface does not support Wintab drivers. If you use a drawing program that needs Wintab, you are screwed. That is a good reason to go with this Huion, plus being 16 vs 13 inches.
Needs a few physical buttons on the back . So when you draw with the right hand for example, the 4 fingers of the left resting at the back would intuitively find l 4 programmable buttons for the most frequently used functions. That IMHO is the perfect layout for a dedicated drawing/sculpting tablet pc. And you should also be able to be able to plug it into a powerful desktop and use purely as a connected tablet like (I believe) the Wacom Mobile Studio.
Looks good, I think I'd get one if I totally had to get a new mobile solution right now and I had the money.
Great review Brad.
I hope you do a review on the Xencelabs Pen Display 24 Studio!
Anyone else having trouble getting updates on their order 🫠 ordered it March 31 and still nothing
Yea, March 10th and still nothing. I'm guessing they are backed up with an overwhelming amount of orders. I feel your pain >.
Same, last week I was told that it would be mailed to my local warehouse in a week. I checked back this week, and was told that it would be mailed to my
local warehouse in 3 weeks.
@sumtdunno6541 I'm getting tempted to cancel the order lol this is insane
I would really like to see the touch tech in their screen tablets...
can't wait for the xencelabs pen display 24
Awesome vid. The surface pro 9 with similar specs and a pen is more expensive also.
Thinking about reviewing the new Xencelabs screen tablet? I know its expensive but would be cool to see you review it
The number one issue I've encountered on other tablets is touch sensitivity, AKA... PALM REJECTION. It so doesn't work, at least for me, so I usually have to disable touch altogether. It constantly jumps the cursor somewhere else, defeating the whole notion of "fast sketching". I'm surprised you didn't say anything about it. Can touch sensitivity be turned off, or moderated? How well did that work, resting your palm on the tablet?
Is it a standalone tablet???
This is really cool! Thanks Brad for the review! A shame they didn't go with AMD ryzen since these are more efficient than Intel's 11 gen! And I agree with you expandable storage and RAM would have been cool!
But a really awesome product nonetheless!
Had a quick look at the availability and price in Europe. It's € 2299.00, or $2478,9, compared to the $1699 listed on the US site.
Yeah, hard pass.
I purchased a Huion 2.5k Kamvas 2 years ago and it has been one big disappointment. Not a single support update, no website, no support when there is attempts to contact them; it is a big fart!
1:34 wait, does desktop csp have double tap gesture?
YES! they have borrowed several gestures for touch screens.
@@thebradcolbow thanks, that sounds great! Definitely miss some of the mobile gestures in professional desktop apps.
I have a surface pro that i bought back in 2017 and its not anywhere close to a cintiq naturally. Last year i bought a ryzen 5 laptop with humble specs for about 1200USD+- intending to use with my intuos because ive already gave up on having a cintiq like drawing experience on the go. This year ive tried a friend's kamvas 16 and i was immediately sold. Ive been using a cintiq pro as my main tablet for the past 6 years since the start of my art journey and honestly the kamvas was basically the same as my cintiq. The wacom pen even works on the kamvas and viceversa too.. stolen tech? Idk but its so much cheaper so im all for it! Now this launches.. im a little salty cos this is basically even cheaper than the price of my laptop + intuos if it had similar specs. Ill say if youre looking for a windows drawing experience on the go, i dont think there's literally a better device than this. Price for performance wise. Btw, wacom studio pros also overheat so much their rubber feet can melt if you leave them on the bed or some suffocating surface. Its just a thing youll have to deal with for these powerful tablets.
It's the same EMR technology. You can't stole something out of nature.
Wacom has dominated pen technology for decades, but their reign is coming to an end because their EMR patent has expired and cannot be renewed.
Mine arrived a couple days ago, it's pretty cool but I'm definitely gonna need to get a keyboard for it
Hi, now that it passed more than a year since your coment, can you tell me how it works with photoshop or blender? is it worth it? thank you so much
@@inesgarcia5523I'm honestly not a big fan. I use it with illustrator and find it a bit tedious. But I do a lot of 2d technical sketches that require millimeter precision.
For just drawing/painting it's not bad and capable. It runs illustrator decently well, but that's really the only bit of software I've run on it.
My biggest complaint is that it has extremely lack luster touch/shortcut control via huions own software. So you might want too look at 3rd party software for digital shortcut buttons. Otherwise you'll need a keyboard/side pad thing.
Overall I'd give it a 6/10. It does quite a few things, but it doesn't do them exceptionally well.
the feel of this pen compared to the huion kamvas pro 16... what's the difference? and which is better?
Thank you so much for your great review... I was super happy when I saw it was available 😍... I believe this Huion is a very interesting device... Maybe I would have included an USB port A because it is necessary... I'm not sad about the low quality of the Audio. The portability is very cool but even the idea you can simply sketch on a sofa or everywhere you like at home... In your opinion this spec are enough for a software like Mojo or Opentoonz? Thank youuuuu! ❤
Bought myseft Samsung S8+ and Wacom One stylus - it's fantastic!
Hey Brad, do your courses comes with subtitles? Spanish? Great Reviews as usual! Regards
Reply plzz is heating huion tablet from top center is common ????
I am having this heat problem in my huion kamvas 20 pro ... Rply plzzzz
Definitely getting this thing, Wacom is going to actually have to try to make a good device on their next MobileStudio Pro
I was actually quite interested at the beginning to purchase a wacom mobile but honestly, even during Easter offer during which they made 1000 euro discount I felt not comfortable. The device is 2019 and at that time was already outdated....but the worst part was the huge amount of complaints... I never saw any wacom device with so many customers disappointed in so many different way... This is why I'm considering kamvas 16...😁
I wish it had a dedicated GPU and bigger battery to accommodate for it plus a magnetic pen attachment
I have a question... If we compare kamvas studio 16 vs Wacom mobile 16, which one would you reccomend to buy? Surely Kamvas is better than surface Pro but I feel like the real match here is against the super expensive Wacom Mobile 🤔
Hey Brad, Lenovo Tab P11 Pro Gen 2 is stylus supported with Desktop Mode, might want to review as an entry level ($229 without stylus, before price increase due to demand according to ETA Prime)
Omg! I was planning to replace my ipad Pro 2012 for a newer one, but maybe this one could be a better replacement 🤔
Question on your Acer ConceptD 3 Ezel pen.
How do you draw without clicking the buttons on the pen? How do I disable it?
I can't seem to find it. I just want that whenever the pen comes in contact with the screen, it draws. Not by coming in contact and have to press the button to draw.
It continues to drive me crazy that Apple refuses to make a product in this category. I recently bought an iPad Pro, foolishly thinking that I would be able to do all of the work that I do on my Mac, going back and forth with the same files. The entire tablet OS experience is so restrictive, all I want is real MacOS running on a tablet device!
Hi Brad! Great review. How does it compare with Wacom MobileStudio Pro in drawing experience? I have a Mobilestudio 16 and a Surface 4. The MobileStudio is far better. It has just the right screen texture.
Cool, is this your new favorite? Or it's still Cintiq and Apple iPad Pro.
God bless.
Cant w8 for the Xencelabs pen display review. Oh its gon be lit!!!😅😅😅
هل يحتاج الى كمبيوتر لتشغيله
وهل وهو مناسب لتصميم الفيديو واعمال 3d
Hi Brad and thank you for your excellent presentation (as usual).
I got 2 quetions
Will you recommand this tablet instead of wacom mobile studio ?
What about it's graphic card ? It is the same than the cheap one integrated in surface pro ?
Thx in letting me know please
The question is this tablet heavier than the zbook x2 g4. That tablet is heavy.
Since this is an entire computer with Windows 11 as it's OS, I guess my question is... does it also work with Linux? Does the system allows us to install a different OS?
If so, this machine would be a great opportunity to switch to Linux and Krita as the drawing app, right?
I've always wanted a pen display laptop, but I'm really picky cuz I work in 3D, so when I saw the GPUs the 16" and 24" come with, I was promptly disappointed :(
Not bad at all. The only kicker from it being a true mobile device is the short battery life which kinda makes me feel that the screen only version is much better value plugged into my MacBook Pro m1pro.
You have to juggle a lot more cables though... ;/
I wish it has quick keys like wacom mobile studio or companion2
Is this product always allowed to be plugged into the charger? Doesn't it always cause overcharging and cause the battery to swell like Wacom Mobile Studios?
Would be great if we could get something like that from apple on Arm Processor M1/M2 with 12 Hours battery
спасибо чувак! смотрю твои видео из израиля. лайк однозначно🙏
If its smaller id buy it.
I'm thinking of getting a second monitor. Does this work as that?
just annoyed that is so much more expensive in Europe for some reason. Makes it even not so worth it considering I could get the Microsoft laptop with GPU for the price here. Or even the mobile studio pro...
Does 2 finger tap to undo works here ? I can't get it to work in the past using mobile studio pro
Genjutsu wont work on boruto because he is otsutsuki and they are ressistant against genjutsu.
Bu even if it did, if there is someone who has enough willpower to brake out of it, it is Boruto. I mean he is constantly fightning with momoshiki about his body.
Plus he several times awaken back after momoshiki took over.
That just speaks that even if he falls in genjutsu (somehow) he can brake out.
Does this also work as a monitor to connect to my PC?
I’m thinking of getting this to replace my 1st gen MobileStudio Pro 13. For those who have used the Kamvas Studio 16 for a while, how is it? Is there anything I should look out for if I do decide to get this?
Hi Brad, great content.
Quick question. I have a new relatively powerful laptop I just got for drawing and 3d work but I'm looking for a drawing display. I looked into huion and xpen products also wacom BUT with the Galaxy S8+ is a fully functional table (which I could use) do you think I would lose out on drawing functionality if I choose that over an actual drawing display? My question is are drawing displays that much better when it comes to drawing precision then a tab s8+ that it worths sacrificing tablet functionslity?
Thank you
I hope Huion doesn't delay shipping again.
it happened before?
@@koriarredondo4256 it’s happening to me now. My order of the Kamvas studio 24 has been delayed for over a month now. Still waiting….
@@WORKOFBINUS I also ordered it last week, emailed Huion support and they say they will have notices until mid of may :( but have seen some other people that are waiting for it since february
A chance you review the new xencelabs studio 24?
I had the cintiq companion 2 which is kinda similar to this one, it was amazing! but it died after 5 years of not harsh use, and I also saw plenty of people who had problems with all the cintiq companion / mobile studio pro after a while (even whithin the same year)
I would really like to give this device a chance, but I would not like it to have the same problems as the Wacom
Could you review this tablet again after a while?
I had the Cintiq Companion 1. It's still technically working, but I had to replace it twice within 6 months of buying it due to hardware problems and I've burned my hand a few times resting it on the screen when making comics.
I've learned nowadays not to trust any new artist device whose internals are two generations outdated anyway, but Brad saying this device got warm and other commenters bringing up Intel 11's bad cooling makes me assume this is going to be the Cintiq Companion all over again.
My companion 2 died after only 2,5 years of light use… Damn 2500€
Wannag go for the s9 ultra too. Use since around 2 or 3 years the s7 fe. Mostly did buy for drawing. Never had problems with drawing apps and beautiful lcd screen. But the performance is the same as you did mention with the s9 fe and s9 ultra. Did also buy it when it was new for around 450€ sadly a few months the stronger... what was it? The s7 pro or s7+ ? Well did bite myself a lil in the butt cause it did cost 550 on amazon but had already one and was happy with it, so it wasnt worth it for me. Now im getting ready for the s9 ultra to get it for a good price too😅☻️
hi, can we keep it on charging while working itself ?
I'm surprised there's heat, this is something the Surface line addressed with the Pro 4 vs the 3. 3 was hot if you had it on and the fan was always on, Pro 4 was cool all the time and the fan was only on during a windows update or something intensive like a game.
My 2-in-1 laptop that I draw directly on doesn't get hot even with CSP and a twitch stream open- the fan doesn't even kick on.
I've been hoping huion would get into a portable computer space but this thing is just way, way too expensive.
Lenovo sells a 2-in-1 laptop with pen support that's 16in that is $1,100 normally and I've seen it hit $900. With the Kamvas Studio 16 here, I just don't see the $600+ difference in performance.
Concerning the heat issue, maybe there's a BIOS or software option to throttle the CPU.
pro 4 was not cool all the time hahahah. source: I have i7 one.
"Out of the realm of affordable" Boy did you say it. On their store it says that in US dollars it's $1700 but when you switch it to Canadian it says it's $2900, which is almost $600 more than if you convert American to Canadian dollars, so there must be a lot of tariffs on it or something as well.
