Just a disclaimer, i am no expert in drawing tablets and my purpose for this is Photo Retouching.
As a Photographer, we either outsource or edit our own pictures, but a couple of weeks ago i went to a friend of mine, also a photographer who used a Wacom screen-less drawing tablet and had it setup as pinch to zoom, several shortcuts to change layers, masking, brushes, all with the touch of a finger, or the twist of one of the two customizable shortcut wheels.
Using this tablet beats using a mouse and keyboard to edit/retouch photos any day. Not just efficiency-wise, the feel of doing it using the pen and the tablet feels more dynamic and even kind of fun, at least for the time being.
It takes a while to get used to drawing on the tablet while looking at the screen of my PC, but once you get used to it and set-up all the shortcuts based on your needs you won't go back to mouse and keyboard unless you absolutely have to.
I found it to be precise on pressure level, tilt and pointer.
The tablet is lightweight but feels well built, the pen feels good and doesn't need charging or use a battery.
The added accessories are great at this price point added to the already great set of functionality, the pen holder, the carrying bag and the pinky glove feel good for this price point.
The only thing that i kind of miss is the tilting base that the friend who introduced me to drawing tablets to edit pictures had with his Wacom, but that was like $300 when he got it.
Overall this is a professional entry level tool with all the features premium product have, minus the cost.
Sure, if you compare it to a $300 drawing tablet some features may lack, but that'd be almost apples to oranges, and to be honest, this one does everything my friend's does minus the tilting base.
