I've been drawing digitally with tablets for about 5 years, and this is my second tablet. I ordered this just a couple of months ago, and I am very satisfied. If you want a big drawing area and want to get away from Wacom, this is the tablet for you.
I had a Wacom One, which I'd have to say was a horrible tablet. I'd never had pen pressure, was constantly plugging it back in to gain connection, and only had like a few inches of active area (only less than half of the tablet was usable!). So when I pulled my Q11K out of the box, I almost cried when I realized I had pen pressure. It's amazing.
Also, this tablet is wireless, and takes less than 5 minutes to install the driver. For my Wacom One, it took me all night because it kept on crashing. This took me about 2 minutes to install. So you get something to plug into your laptop/computer, and your tablet is wireless. But you do have to charge it either every 3 months or whenever the battery gets low. The pen is the same way.
I went from a battery-free pen to a rechargeable pen, and the change is big! It has pen pressure, and so much may I add! The only downfall is that the battery doesn't last but maybe a week or two? Which is still good! But I have a roommate now who doesn't like me drawing, and it seems to die right when I'm in the middle of doing something, and it takes 1-2 hours to charge completely.
Going off of the pen charging, don't try to use it while it's on low battery or charging. It will lag and not register your lines unless you scribble or press down really hard. So if your pen needs to charge, just save your work and come back when it's done. It will be worth it.
This tablet is HUGE! And that's a very good thing for digital artists. This tablet is the size of my lap, and I'm a 5'6" guy. It's perfect for drawing.
And the pen holder. It is weighted at the bottom, so you're fine leaving your pen in it. You can put the pen in horizontally or vertically, and it holds 8 nibs! You actually receive 9 nibs (I believe), and the holder unscrews to hold the other nibs.
You also have hotkeys on your tablet, 8 of them. I don't use mine because I'm still wrapping my head around that idea (lol) but it's very useful if you like to work quickly or have twitchy hands like I do.
Anyways, this is a great tablet for beginners and professionals and everyone in between. Because of my experiences with Wacom and Huion tablets, I would definitely choose Huion over Wacom anytime.
If you have any questions, feel free to reply and I can try to answer.
