I searching for a tablet for drawing and discovered this one. Anyone tried drawing on it? I wondering if the experience is good.
On the page they doesn’t mention if the screen supports drawing pens, but it’s possible to order an MPP pen with it, so I assume that it works with Wacom or Surface pens?
Hey, I own one of these. For drawing its pretty solid and most software can run on it. The device support MPP 1.51 and 2.0, they sell a 1.51 pen but its quite expensive for what it is. The digitizer isn’t amazing and I have found external wacom screens to be better but considering the price of the starlite is about the same (when I bought it) as an only drawing tab I went with the starlite.
Performance is decent, I was quite surprised how managable the n200 is. Personally I use it as a study device and it handles 40 Firefox tabs and 15-20 windows just fine. Only thing is that gnome does not support triple buffering yet so overview animation is slightly laggy on the 3k screen, however this is less on the 2k version and fixed with the triple buffer PR.
The screen itself comes in either 3k or 2k. The 3k screen was only the first batch and the second+ batch is 2k. Screen is 60hz and I believe 300 nits.
To get buttons mappable on the pen device currently you have to use a custom libwacom entry. I have a PR for that on the github.
The Tablet itself is very solid the main complaint I would have is the keyboard, its quite mushy and bounces as it doesn’t have much structure. Its alright but not amazing.
Realistic battery is 4-6hr under usage and 9-13 with light usage and ~2 days in full sleep.
main board, screen, battery, daughter board and all the parts can be swapped, they sell them on their website.
I have a small question about the keyboard :) How does it connect to the tablet? Via pins, it’s not BT?
pins, its also a gravity stand with weak magnets so it doesnt exactly attach super well to the tablet.
This is very helpful, thank you a lot!
How is the passive cooling? Does it get hot?
nah it doesn’t really get that hot, I use it a bit in bed to watch movies and I haven’t found it uncomfortable. Its currently winter here though so the passive may not be as great in summer. Anything that’s going to heat it up a lot though your prolly going to be using it at a desk.
