It makes me glad that s9fe got to first place!! Being a college student with a small budget, it's really a relief to learn that I'm not missing out on much by planning to get an FE. If anything, I'm getting the exact features I want :D Great video as always!

My mother-in-law just got a Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 FE yesterday to replace her old iPad! I told my husband that it's a super good tablet and a little jealous 😂. All she uses it for is take photos (she doesn't really care about high quality), reading her news and taking payments for her sales... 😅

My tab s9 just arrived, and im so EXCITED about this tablet!!

Thanks for the review, right on point and simple

Great reviews. Thank you!

You sold me the S9 FE and I've been liking it so far! Thanks!

That Huion Kamvas is honestly a thing of beauty I love tech made with artist or designers in mind

hey Brad, chapters would be really useful for review vids like these! some of your other reviews (especially software) are some of my favorite on youtube, and i think some of those do have chapters. thanks for an excellent review again

I'm super happy to hear the Samsung Tab9 is so high. I've been looking to upgrade from my 7+.

Switching from Ipad Pro 2019 to S9 Ultra was the best decision I made. S9 Ultra is Ultra in the word's truest sense. Amazing display and audio, fantastic drawing experience on the large screen, the rubbery tip of Spen means that I dont need to use a matte screen protector, so display remains crisp. Lastly, clip studio coming in clutch with the simple mode. I do miss procreate, and I hope in 2024 clip studio can add more stuff to simple mode and make it comparable to procreate.

I exclusively use an iPad Air 4 (2020 release) to draw on. It’s an awesome tablet for drawing. Pair that with the Apple Pencil 2 and Sketchbook app, it’s really capable.

Thank you Brad..great review ... I am happy that I ordered the Galaxy Tab S9 FE and it will arrive tomorrow...it is suitable for drawing and my budget..and I will get a wacom one stylus with it..

Since I already have a Samsung Tab S9+, I'm glad it came in #2. If the S10 Ultra offers 5G in the US, I might buy that. I just got an XP-PEN Deco Pro LW with bluetooth to use with my 14" Lenovo i9 laptop, which has touchscreen but not pen support. I also hope to use the pen tablet with the Tab S9 to provide "invisible hand" top down cam annotation in youtubes. I am a business illustrator, not an artist. Love your approach. Will becwatching your videos henceforth.

I'm planning to purchase the Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 FE next year and I am so excited to get my hands on that product.

Great review! Still have my Samsung Galaxy 7+ (which I bought nearly 3 years ago based on your review of it), and I still love it! Thanks for the work you do! :)

Yo Brad! Early adopter of the XP-PEN Artist Pro 6 Gen 2 and couldn't be happier. What an amazing piece ot tech and everyday creative workhorse for both graphic design and general illustration. Great, sturdy build - looks sleek over the desk for sure - and perhaps one of the best pens money can buy right now, with the added benefit of being easily carried around alongside a laptop thanks to the 16 form factor and the bonus, ultra-portable remote keypad. Your early review back then heavily weighted on my purchase decision so thanks! That #4 is well-deserved. :D

I was just using my Galaxy Tab S9 FE that I got on Black Friday while watching this video on my PC and I didn't expect the tablet I'm using is placed number 1 in this video. 😅

Wow, I guess I've made the best choice, thank you for the video.

I went and splurged on a S9 Ultra. I had S7+, but still felt like the screen was missing just a little bit extra space that Ultra gets me. And with new Clip Studio simple mode, it's awesome. Also, it's super easy to use it as an additional PC monitor via USB-C or WiFi and then I can use stylus in combo with Blender for fine sculpting, etc.

Great review! Thanks! What is your favorite display tablet size?

Do you have any video where you talk about the maximum sizes you can work with in ipad pro's procreate or samsung s9 ultra's clip studio? Thanks.

CSP on the Tab S8 has been my favourite thing to draw on. Its not the newest tablet, but it really does the job so well, and CSP is amazing - especially with the DAUB brushes. BTW maybe you could review the DAUB brushes one day?

Definitely giving the Galaxy Tab S9 FE some consideration.

Does anybody know of a pen that works on Lenovo yogas that has tilt? their proprietary pan does not have till.

I actually was looking for an eink display so i could read my ebooks without the super harsh light. Thx

Thank you for a great review. BTW have you ever reviewed/used the ClipStudio Tabmate?

Thank nyou for the review. After watching your video on Galaxy Tab S9 along with other reviews here, I decided to switch from iPad Air to my current Tab S9+. I agree, that was my best decision ever. The only thing I miss was Procreate, but not much. Currently I draw on Clip Paint and HiPaint (procreate copycat) and S Pen is amazing. Its way lighter and nicely fit. I used to change Apple Pencil nip for every other months and looking for best nip was annoying. S Pen on the other hand using Wacom technology which is very good feel to draw on screen.

Yep I prefer ips display for art and it's amazing tha 9fe is in first 🥇

Thank you for all your pen display videos - they are helping me decide on which one to buy. Are you able to tell me if XPpen and Huion are reliable or do they run into problems very often, needing repair. I'm in Australia and there are no repair faciliites here which means I'd have to return to country of original and that is prohibitive. My only other option although more expensive, is the entry level Wacom or the new ASUS which you previewed recently. Thank you for any advice.

now im happy i bought the no.1 on the list. cause this is the first time im going to buy a tablet XD cause i cant afford a laptop yet, and whenever we go out specially for holidays i just feel its such a waste when i cant do some work. so i decided to buy the samsung s9 fe cause the price was good and the specs are good, i wanted the bigger tab but sadly no budget for that hahah but im happy its a good choice. Question, i also plan on practicing animation and dynamic poses using animation apps, can the tablet handle a full episode like 4-15min of animation using android animation apps?

I have a question. I have a ipad pro 11 inch from 2020. Now how does it stand up against all the other ipad pros that has been released since? Is any of them better to draw on or have better new features for other things?

Hi, great reviews, thank you! Can you possibly address the usefulness for left-handed people? My son and I (both artists) are both lefties. I'm wondering about a couple of things, specifically 1) do the pens work for lefties, and 2) will the touch-screen erase content if your hand touches it.

Does the Wacom 16 Pro touchscreen respond as well as the iPad touchscreen?

hi Brad, great video! Just a question: When you say smooth surface, do you mean like the older wacom pentablets? (I got a bamboo cte650 and I'm trying to find something similar to that drawing experience) Ty again! The galaxy tab s9 fe sure looks like a great value in tech!

Oh god i already have apple ecosystems, but this s9 fe is so good 😅😅 so torn between that and ipad air 5

I almost bought the S9 FE this weekend, but ended up buying an XP PEN Deco instead! I'm going to save the price difference in cash and set it aside for the iPad refresh and just work on my skills for now.

I recommend s8 ultra when its on a discount, which is usually 600 off, significantly better than the s9 fe

with the new Huion Kamvas Pro 27 being out, I wonder how it stacks up against the Xecelabs pro 24? Right now my main drawing tablet is a M1 ipad pro 12.9.

These are really cool tablets! though I am also interested in Brad's Low profile Membrane Keyboard. Anybody know the name?

where do you buy xencelabs pen display 24"?

Please also make a list of best budget devices.

to see the difference in approah on how when a computer manufacturer try to make art style tablet [asus] they fail the for art part [the pen]. when a in relative smaller graphics tablet for art manufacturer made a portable computer tablet [huion] they almost nail the art part but its downside - since they dont have access to the latest intel/amd stuff - so they practically have older internals. Like Huion Kamvas Studio 16 would been almost perfect for windows folks if its 12 or 13th gen instead of 11.

I wonder how the new lenovo tab p12 compares to the s9 fe drawing wise

I'm very excited about the possibility of videos comparing side-by-side similar Pen Displays of the same size or same price range, which you mentioned in your last Live! It would be a dream to see a comparison between the "Wacom Cintiq 16" x "XPPen Artist Pro16 Gen2" x ""Huion Kanvas Pro16 2.5k", and their respective pens! I hope it happens! ^_^

For someone who can draw on like a notebook/sketchbook what would be the best tool for graphic art. I've tried to use just a normal drawing tablet (no screen) be the skills don't translate well. What would you suggest?

Can you use Wacom's pro pen with the Asus ProArt PA169CDV Pen Display?

Yo Brad, what do you use to hold up tablets that don't have good kickstands or folding cases for drawing? Doesn't look like the OnePlus Pad or Google Pixel Tablet, for example, are lying flat on the table.

Oddly enough I have the #1 and #2 on this list! Couldn't agree more with the video 😅 although mine are both 5G versions and the fe edition still has not received the one ui6 updated yet. But they are amazing tablets and I use them so much that I hardly touch my s23 ultra.

Hey Brad hope you can review the new Huion Kamvas Slate 10, I really want to buy it ❤

Where would tab s8 enter in that list if its price would be close to s9fe's?

Looking in to androids. But what app to use? Something comparable to Adobe Fresco? Leaning towards the tab s9 FE like he recommended.

I think the Huion Kavas 16 would top the list for me. Huion just makes amazing stuff at the right price points!

Hi! if you could help me out at all I'd really appreciate it! I want to start digitally drawing, and I already have a computer, but I need a touch screen in order to draw so I've been trying to find a a drawing tablet that will do. I only need to draw, no other computer-like utilities, but I need it to work even when not connected to my computer so I can hook it up to transfer all my art. I'm hoping a option like this exists, please let me know if you know of anything! Thank you!

To those thinking about the Onyx Boox, I love mine, but man is that speedy pen performance ONLY LIMITED to the BOOX NOTE APP, outside of it, it is slow. Even office apps typing on it is slow.Also what annoys me personally, is that you can't turn off the color mode so you can just enjoy the 300PPI Grayscale E-ink Display. And yes I turned on the "ULTRA FAST" mode, which made typing a little more bearable in office apps. I'm a slow typer myself, even so, I am outpacing the onyx boox at their fastest setting. I'm like 50WPM.

Brad, I realize it is a little pricey but could you look at reviewing the Clarity Touch Pro 4K monitor in 2024? Thank you for all of the great reviews.

Huion kamvas slate 10 review?

I think it's really great that there wasn't anything Apple on the list and that Android is catching up. We'll what Apple brings next year, but for me it's the same with Apple as with Wacom... great stuff, but just too expensive. Having something that hits the sweet spot in price, quality and features is a product that gives so much more satisfaction. Great list, great video. Have a great holiday.

Please review the clarity pro touch 27

Hello Brad. I'm an elementary school teacher, a bit on the old side of the tech spectrum:), so I can't figure this one out... I'm not an artist at all, but I've been making t-shirts for friends ... long story short, I use Huion... I like it, but the final product never looks professional enough to me, no matter how much I refine it. I just need to turn the drawing into something simple but solid. Is it only possible on drawing pads? Or can I take one more step after Huion and finish it up? Thank you so much for your wisdom and sharing all this knowledge online. Cheers

I not a Creative Professional but this is by far my favourite Tech Chanel 😅

Got my s9 fe yesterday Only for the processor and ram for a mid range performance XD

is the s9 fe good for 2d animation?

the xp pen 2ng gen 14inch has a standard hd resolution not QHD so it's not worth the downgrade to save on $. It's also very heavy compared to huion's 16 and 13.3 inch version of a similar tablet who have QHD on the small version but xp doesn't. Also XP pen doesn't refund u fully if you try it out for a week but return it, only 80%. And the shipping waiting time is like a month in europe.

I finally ordered the Xencelads Pen Display 24 today. I've been waiting since I heard rumors.

Can you review the Lenovo Legion Y700 (2023 Model) its a small 8.8" tablet that has pen support and is a powerhouse (SD 8+ G1 / 12GB Ram) for only $499

I feel like people dont talk enough about the tab s7 plus. For artists it's the same things as the s9 plus but at a much lower price. If you NEED the ultra's huge screen, go with the s8 ultra. I just got a tab s7 plus and the drawing experience on this is beyond amazing

Great video, Brad! Do you intend to continue updating the Pen Display Ranking on your website? It would be great to see the models you tested this year compared to the models from previous years that are already in the Ranking.

What should I go for illustration Apple iPad 10th generation or Samsung Galaxy S9 Fe

Ended up returning my Huion 22 Plus. I couldn't ever get the color calibrated correctly. I ended up getting the XP-Pen 24 Aritst QHD and love it so far. Way easier to color calibrate and the pen to my feel works better too. I have only used a lenovo Yoga from a few years ago and it was useless even with the wacom pen upgrade. I thought that would've been an upgrade from my Yiynova MSP19U+ it wasn't. I am very happy now. wouldn't mind trying a standalone tablet when I can afford one.

Which would you get the Galaxy tab s8 or the Galaxy tab s9 FE? (Older higher end or newer with a little less bells and whistles) I'm only interested in the 11" tabs for their portability.

Hey brad! Can we have a Samsung budget tablets knockout video, s6 lite vs s7 fe vs s9 fe All of them aren't very far apart in price so it would be really helpful to get a overall picture in the sub $500 price category

good video

To any of you who ever use these products, i need your suggestions between Xiaomi pad 6 and Galaxy s9 fe. And tell me why

I was hoping you would cover any of the Lenovo tablets. The P11, P12, or even the tab extreme. Surprised you never touched them.

Huion just released their own tablet

Hey Brad! Adoro seus vídeos, acompanho há alguns anos, esse é meu primeiro comentário, espero que chegue a você. Vi que seu review trata dos equipamentos de 2023, portanto não incluiu o iPad, que não lançou nenhum modelo novo. Isso me fez pensar que mesmo assim, provavelmente o último ipad teria uma posição boa na sua lista. Nós realmente precisamos de tantos produtos e lançamentos? Eu sei que se trata de uma perspectiva típica de consumo norte-americano, mas gostaria muito de ver você avaliar os produtos antigos. Eu tinha uma Wacom amarelada dos anos noventa que era impressionante, com tilt e 256 níveis de pressão. Nunca percebi diferença entre isso e os 1280 níveis das posteriores. Ela realmente entregava tudo que eu precisava de uma tablet sem monitor. O único inconveniente hoje é a porta serial, pois não havia USB na época. Queria ver o sr avaliar o primeiro modelo de Cintiq. Depois o primeiro modelo da primeira outra marca que produziu pen displays. Acho que vídeos de resgate seriam muito divertidos de ver. Cheers!

I have a really important question, does super display work on tab s9 fe? Or second display? And if they do, is it wired or wirelessly? And how is the lag? My friend is trying to buy tab s9 fe and this feature is really important for her

Samsung really does provide really good quality product even on a cheaper price range. Been using my S6 even up until now!

Seeing my pen display in this video makes me so happy

I am a beginner Fashion illustrator and want to try digital art please recommend a sumsung tablet.... (Not an ipad)

Hello anyone catched the name of the youtuber brad namedropped about the in depth pen analisis?

Great Video! Thanks for not just being an Apple fanboy but rather giving us an objective review. Cheers!

Still waiting for Brad to review the Ugee 15. Not the greatest, but still good and it only $150. Only reason I am commenting is because this is the first time I’ve been in the first 20 people to comment on anything lol

im surprised no one mentions this, Xencelabs and XP pen are from the same parent company called UGEE, its like Oneplus and oppo in mobile industry

Which is no.1

Can you review lenovo android tablets, they have really good specs for their prices

regardless still need money not leaves to buy them :D thanks for ther review bradley

I waited for this since octomber😢❤

Do you have a whole video of tables that are their own computer for drawing?

buying an intous pro for half the price was best thing I did

I think the new xp pens being basically wacom quality for a 5th the price is the biggest deal this year tbh

It's good there's no new iPad this year cause I bought new one this year so it's latest amd greatest for some more months 😂

Waiting on someone to make a huion kamvas slate 10 video 👀

drawing tablets > pen displays imo a bit disappointed they don't seem to get many mentions or proper care in reviews

6:30 Can you define a "watt of lobble"? LOL

4:28 Holy moly, they made PCDS

Huion Slate 10 to be reviewed in 2024

Galaxy Tab S9 FE or xiaomi pad 6

unfortunately no m10 p11 and no p12 this year ;
