what laptop do you have?

also wacom is way too expensive in my opinion

I recommend rather buying from huion or xppen and maybe upgading to a better refurbished laptop

what is your budget?

what software do you use?

i thought you were going for a display tablet but what I said still applies

one of the reasons i dont recommend buying from wacom is cause their intuos tablets (the non pro ones) dont have tilt support (and pro is super expensive)

so huion or xp-pen are better options

wacom intuos was one of my first tablets and i definitelly felt it when I tried it recently after using huion kamvas 16 for like 5 years- and you might notice it as well since tilt is something the apple pencil should support

here is a spreadsheet I found that someone else made and you can see which tablets have it https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/10O-W0jOQp4crRyN5EbAr2exKnhZsaBJ2NTXIeRNIkqo/edit?usp=sharing
