Let’s leave prejudices aside. There is life beyond Samsung and Apple when it comes to tablets. What’s more, if you want a tablet that can also be used to draw, the iPad is fine, but it falls short in many functions and is much more expensive. The new Magic Drawing Pad tablet from XPPen brings together the best of both worlds: an Android tablet compatible with thousands of applications, and a perfect screen for drawing.
Being honest, we we were very surprised. The packaging of the product and, above all, the sensations when you have it in your hands. The first impression is that we are facing a tablet with very good finishes, materials and that gives a premium appearance at all times.
