I have been painting professionally for about 10 years on digital tablets, and I have experimented with many devices. I bought this tablet from the official XP-Pen website (I have been a customer of this company for years with several collaborations), and it was the only model that didn’t require any other support unit like a computer. This particular one was not sent to me for testing like some of their other models, so I bought it because I wanted to try it out as I travel often and obviously can’t carry a laptop or desktop with me every time. (Nor did I want to spend money to buy an iPad.)

Now:
If we assume I got it to sketch or make a commission painting when I’m not at home, it is a wonderful and reliable tool, as long as you have its charger or a suitable power bank with you, since the battery will eventually drain, depending on brightness and usage. Unfortunately, it doesn’t have an amazing battery, but for what it can do at the same time, it’s very good. It’s neither huge nor mini to fit in a pocket. The stylus doesn’t need charging, which is a huge bonus. For sound, it has a speaker system and comes with a case for protection. Another very good feature is that it has built-in screen recording which doesn’t lag and can run for hours (suitable for time lapsing). It also has a screenshot feature that you can crop on the spot without needing to edit. It’s like a regular Android tablet, with a screen that resembles paper. The case also has a built-in hook for the stylus so you don’t lose it. You can also switch its software to PC mode if that suits you better (I keep it in PC mode), which you can change whenever you want. It supports many drawing apps (I have used Krita for years, which is also free). It also has built-in animation, but I haven’t worked with that.

However, if you want a fully professional tablet for steady commissions, or if you create heavy files (paintings that can reach 800 to 900MB), I’d say this is not the right device. As an artist, you spend many, many hours on a specific design or painting, and many times it can’t support it, so it crashes. Many times, the pixels have changed color and the screen becomes a rainbow, and I have to restart it.
Another downside (again, if you want it for professional use) is that when you make quick lines in pre-designs, the line does not reflect the real line a pencil would make, for example. In a brush stroke, the line becomes sharp where it ends, where the stylus lifts, whereas it should be the opposite. Unfortunately, you can only fix this by doing the opposite movement from what you would normally do, which throws you off a bit, but you can manage.
Another problem with the stylus is that you have to adjust its cursor in the settings depending on which hand you use to hold it. You see, the cursor is factory-set to be exactly below the stylus and not to the side to support tilt.
Also, sometimes when you make quick, seemingly identical lines, sometimes it bugs and you may see that one of those lines has a slight bend and then continues.
But the most important issue, which is a bit of a problem, is that colors often, while the same on other devices, the shadows are more intense than what you see on the tablet. I have finished an entire design, added colors, had a bunch of layers in Krita, and as soon as I transfer it to my phone to see how it would look when uploaded to Instagram, or to email for a client, the painting is actually much darker than it appears on the tablet. A good solution for this is to lower the tablet’s brightness so you force your eyes to find the highlights and make them more intense.

Overall, it’s very good and has been a lifesaver for me on trips. However, it’s best to have it as a secondary device if you are a professional. The main unit always gives you better device support. For this reason, I would rank this model below the Artist 12 from XP-Pen, which requires computer support, but in all the years I had it, it never gave me any defect. The Magic Drawing Pad is a very good choice for a remote drawing tablet and is worth its money without needing to go for an iPad. With its little issues, of course, but still, it’s a very good device for digital painting.

I got it from the XP-Pen site at a much better price. Generally, for me as a beginner, with the ibis Paint X that it has, I do my work and learn from there. The stylus doesn't lag at all and has amazing response.
