Review:

The U1600 is a 15.4-inch drawing tablet it is full HD and is fully laminated, which means there shouldn’t be a gap between the pen and what you see on the computer screen whilst you’re working, giving you an overall smoother and more realistic drawing experience. Once you get the tablet out of the box, you will see the drawing monitor, alongside a battery-free pen with 10 replacement nibs, a nib extractor, an extension cord, and a 3-in-1 l-shaped USB-c cable as well as a power adapter. And you will also find various plugs, a cleaning cloth, and a drawing glove, which would help you get an easier drawing experience. Setting up this device is quite simple, too, so any users that are buying this as their first tablet should not stress. All you have to know is that the USB c l-shaped plug goes into the top of the screen. Then you have to plug in the HDMI and USB cables into your device. Although the pen feels a bit cheap and plasticky, it gives a very good performance and is very thin and very light. The pen is possibly one of the slimmest, and it has two buttons and an eraser on the top it’s battery-free, and it also supports 8192 levels of pen pressure and 60 degrees of tilt, once again proving to be a great deal at this price range, making it suitable any type of digital artwork creation.

Review:

The M708 Ugee drawing tablet has a working area of 10 by 6 inches. It comes with 8 Express keys and is inclusive of an amazing battery-free stylus. For beginners, having a larger active area means there’s more space to move the drawing hand around, providing you with a smooth and natural stroke. Having a large active area is also preferable for large screen resolutions, and it’s just overall a bit more comfortable to draw with. This UGEE tablet provides 8 Express keys. The tablet can be rotated by 180 degrees, so the Express keys are flipped to the right-hand side for those who are left-handed. The handy pen that comes with this tablet has replaceable nibs and a nib holder. And the pen has 8192 pressure levels. Both can connect using one USB cable.

In addition, another advantage of the Ugee M708 drawing tablet pen is its smooth working experience, which means the surface of this UGEE tablet didn’t get any scratches from using the pen. While on the other hand, some really expensive tablets can get scratches from using the pens in a certain way.
