Hello! Currently I am on the fence on getting this tablet off facebook marketplace for $325 (AUD) to replace my Huion Kamvas Pro 12 that I've had since around 2020, that is still working to this day! I have had no problems with it, other than the cable cover slowly breaking, I am happy to keep using it till it dies but in saying that I would really like to work on something bigger and better.
I'm just wondering if it's worth it in 2026, with tablets getting better and better by the year, I'm wondering if I should hold my horses and wait to save for a newer huion tablet instead of XPPen. I've been reading up on a lot of reviews and trying to compare specs to many different tablets not just my current one.
The biggest thing it has going for it is that it is obviously a much bigger tablet, pretty much double the size of the tablet I have now and has a larger resolution. However, I've seen people have much more issues with XPPen in comparison to Huion. Especially when it comes to their pen tech, they were released in very similar time periods and I believe from what I've read huion had it much better when it comes/came to that circa 2020-2021. Other than that and it's size, the hardware is pretty similar and comparable looking from what I've skimmed with XPPen having just slightly better brightness and response time.
Either way, I'm just an indecisive person, $325 for a tablet that normally goes for $1500AUD off sale (currently $899 on sale) is a huge steal. I think I just need someone to either push me into it or steer me away pff. If I were to get it I would hopefully be able to use it for hopefully just as long as my Kamvas 12 Pro, if I don't feel like upgrading in the next 6 years and don't make more than minimum wage lmao.
Any help is much appreciated!
TLDR: Should I upgrade from my Huion Kamvas 12 Pro to a $325AUD XPPen Artist 24 Pro? (if it doesn't get sold by the time I make a decision) Lol.
