Pros and cons
Pros
- Eight programmable keys offer a way to place common drawing actions within reach.
- The compact 11.6-inch size and listed 735-gram weight may suit a portable workstation.
- A battery-free pen avoids needing to charge the stylus, according to the listing.
Cons

What to know before buying
Listing details to confirm

Compatibility and connection requirements also vary across listing text, including USB and a full-featured Type-C cable. Verify the selected device, cable and stand configuration before purchase.

Customer feedback is positive about button responsiveness and size, while reports on functionality, display, connectivity, setup and value are mixed. Some customers describe a good screen and straightforward setup, while others report connection trouble or difficulty getting started. For a pen display that relies on a compatible host connection, those reported connection and setup experiences are especially relevant. The ratings distribution is mostly favourable but includes a notable one-star share, so it does not settle whether the product will suit a particular setup.
Positive themes
- Customers praise button responsiveness and the tablet's size.
Negative themes
- Some customers report connection problems, including being unable to connect.
- Some customers find setup difficult.
Mixed feedback
- Feedback on functionality, display and value for money is mixed.
