Key features, explained

Based on the manufacturer's Amazon listing.

  • No computer needed

    Everything runs directly on the tablet, so you can create, draw, design and learn wherever you take it.

  • 5 preloaded creative apps

    It ships with apps for drawing, painting, animation, tutorials and guided lessons, so you can start right away.

  • Lifetime Concepts Pro and Artixo VIP

    Two app upgrades are included for life: Concepts Pro for drawing, and Artixo VIP for step-by-step lessons and practice. The Xplore app adds drawing guides.

  • 10 inch laminated screen

    The listing says lamination reduces glare and parallax, the gap between pen tip and line, for a more natural drawing feel.

  • 4,096-level active pen

    The stylus responds to pressure, so strokes get thicker as you press harder. The listing pitches it for sketching and illustration.

  • 6 GB RAM, expandable storage

    An octa-core processor with 6 GB of RAM and 64 GB of storage, expandable up to 1 TB. The listing says it handles drawing apps, schoolwork and streaming.
