I needed to replace a tablet that broke. I was using an old beat up back up. I became a Linux user long ago. I started using MyPaint on Windows long ago. I then started using it on Linux along with Krita. I also use Photoshop, ArtRage, Sketch, and at times use drawing tablets in vector in Windows. So needed a tablet that was going to work in Windows and Linux. Other alternative tablet makers are helping the Linux community, but the UGEE team stated they tested this out on Linux. They obviously did as the supply the driver settings software in .deb, and .rpm for various Linux families (Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, etc. based distros). It is possibly a best buy budget pro specs tablet. If Linux work environment is important to you – this is an obvious choice. Build quality is similar to the first generation M708 I have. There is some design upgrading. It was a good tablet in first gen, and now much better in third generation. If I get a chance I will check in with a more in-depth report, but I expect it to be as dependable as the first gen it is replacing. I find it works just fine so far. I have been using digital art tablets since early WACOMs back in the Mac Quadra era. I have become tablet vendor neutral. I only care that a tablet works well, and at a convenient price. I do a variety of work. Not all my work requires using a tablet, and I also work in traditional medium.
Tentatively I give it 5 stars. Reasons: it works in the desktop environments I need it to work. More over, they supply driver settings software for Linux. It is a very good price for performance! It is handling nicely, as I am used to this size tablet.
This tablet appears to be a best buy budget pro specs tablet.
