From the brand
After much reviewing of similar tablets, I spotted the Ugee S1060W with a 30% discount offer on it. 35 for a wireless device of this size was too good an opportunity to miss. Arrived on time and well packaged. There’s a lot in the box for the price.
Still getting used to it but the tablet works extremely well, is accurate and responsive, and could easily be used on a daily basis to replace the mouse.
Overall, very happy with my purchase.
This is a pretty good tablet, the only thing it’s lacking is buttons as I’ve been used to have buttons on a drawing tablet but overall its light and one cable feed is really good.
It does need to attach to a computer and it attaches fine to my desktop. I use my old Windows 7 laptop with a VGA to HDMI converter as it doesn’t have an HDMI port. (The USB C to C converter didn’t work for me)
Benefits of a big screen means I can clearly see all the tiny tool icons and it feels like I have a touch screen monitor on my knee. So pretty much doing all my computer work on it.
To my joy I discovered Krita a completely free graphics package online (similar to photoshop but much easier to use. Great for drawing, painting and animation with plenty of free online tutorials to help you use it)
So if you are just starting to use tablets or don’t yet have a graphics package I definitely recommend Krita to use with this Ugee tablet as a match made in heaven.
Having used this Tablet and software for less than a week I can only say that it is addictive. Its wonderful to draw directly onto the computer and so easily. I love the pen. It reacts well to the different pressure on the screen and the end works as a digital rubber/eraser.
Now I’ve started using this size screen I’m totally spoilt and could never go back to a smaller screen. What a bargain compared with other brands.
I hope UGEE redesignes the surface for improvent!
I have two Chromebooks a Lenovo S330 and Lenovo Ideapad, the former has an HDMI port so the 3 in 1 cable works fine with it, the Ideapad does not have an HDMI port so you need to order the usb C to usb C cable to connect to your usb C socket, the Ideapad has another charging port on the opposite side so don’t worry about you computer running down as it provides the power for the U1200 or U1600 tablet, but don’t think you can use any cable, you need to buy the Ugee one, Amazon offer you the option to do this when you purchase your U1200 or U1600 graphics monitor. The 3 in 1 cable comes with your monitor. However, with Chromebooks it is a plug & play system so no drivers are required, the drawback you haven’t the driver to set up the stylus, but most art software has options to set the pressure for you stylus, note on Ibispaint you need to set the stylus to the sonar pen. After all this technical stuff, the U1200 works fine on both my Chromebooks and I don’t find the U1200 too small like some Youtube reviewers say (they’re mainly professioners). It is a great drawing experience and many others have pointed out their young children can use it as I do at 74. Never too old to go digital, and have fun.
