Need advice / opinions on graphics tablets
polycounter lvl 5
I am looking into getting a nice and reliable graphics tablet that will last me for years and would not cost me that much. I am practically certain that Huion H610 Pro is my best choice, I see a lot of reviews that are claiming that the tablet is great and all that. But than there are those negative once that scare me. It casts a big shadow of a doubt that the tablet it self might be great but there are also tons of units that are defective.
What are other options that can be a substitute for this Huion one? Since it seams that it is a good analog to Wacom but seems as a very risky purchase.
I am not going with Wacom since I can't spend two bags of cash on a graphics tablet, no matter how good it is, it would end up costing me more than my rig, and the money that will get spent on it is not mine, so there's that.

why I am going Ugee rather than replacing my wacom intuos pro pen after it broke is because it sent me back to my ten year old wacom, and I realized that wacom has gone cheaper, the surface tablet feel, the lack of scratches on my old bamboo, whole thing is a step above the quality of the newer wacom devices.
when you add up the cost and the function of the tablets these days the alternatives are becoming far more appealing than the wacom brand, there are die hard fanboys that will say othewise.
at the end of the day I think if you aren't the richest artist go for it, it obviously won't be the best tablet in the world, but if it meets your needs you can produce the best art in the world (theoretically at least) a shitty hammer can fuck up a great carpenter, but the best hammer in the world isn't going to make you a great carpenter, these are just tools

If you're going to try the Chinese tablets, there are the XP-Pen, Star 03 (Ugee M708) and 04 that doesn't require a battery, their technology is similar to Wacom's.

Hell, you can have my old Bamboo tablet for free, if you live in Canada and are willing to pay for shipping.
