Works great on my Linux machine, and also works great on my Android phone. You have to turn it to portrait position to work with the phone. Yeah, it's small enough to throw into a bag and I'm able to use it on the go to take hand written notes using my phone and this tablet. Pretty convenient, since I didn't pay for the flagship phone that has the s-pen.
One corner seemed to have a bit of a quality control issue, where the edge of the drawing surface was lifting up from the tablet. I pressed down on it and held it in place with my finger for a few minutes, and after two weeks have had no further issues of it trying to come back up. Looks like it just missed getting pressed down at the factory. The adhesive was in place and working, it just didn't meet up until I pressed it down. I'm taking off one star for this.
The drawing surface is better than using it directly on a glass tablet or phone. It's like writing on paper, except you have to not look down at what you're writing.
I do some handwriting notes with it, but I also do a bit of drawing with it as well.
There is no tilt functionality, so don't be fooled if you think it has that. The larger sized tablet of this same model has the tilt functionality, but not this smaller unit. Pressure sensitivity is really good, though.
There are replacement tips inside the pen stand along with a tip removal tool.
This is a great, basic tablet and very accurate on positioning. I've been very pleased with it. If you're used to drawing directly onto a screen with a stylus, this will take some getting used to and will take a bit of practice. Keep at it, and it becomes second nature quickly enough. I actually used it on my phone for a few days to play games where you have to swipe very specific areas of the screen, and this really helped me to get the pen-up and pen-down motions in the right places on the screen. Playing a game where I had to draw lines and trace patterns was also a big help.
This is simple to use. Haven't used it on Windows, so I can't speak for how well the drivers work on that front, but it's great on both Linux and Android.
