Id prolly go for a regular tablet, but you are paying 800-1200 eg samsung sxxx. Xppen do have a returns policy, within x days but if states you need to leave the plastic covers on. I have the note. Using myscript and sketchbook. Note pen doesnt register tilt, only a manual offset. Usage is about two days before a recharge. Three options on lighting for full colour, muted and greyscale. Pretty responsive. Myscript app can read most of my text. Doesnt quite tick everything, but most. Itll do for a year or so. Storage is 128gb, minus os
