As a Xp-pen fan, I am SMITTEN by this tablet.
I purchased this tablet the same day it was released!I’ll start with Pros and cons, and go into the story of what I was looking for and the main issue I had below.Pros:- No etched glass “rainbow pixilation” – its very clean and smooth with no weird light refraction happening. Please view close up photos.- Buttery smooth, I really love the high pressure sensitivity (newer users won’t feel a difference between 16k over 8k, but people drawing for many many years will noticed the difference immediately.)- Crazy thin parallax, I forgot parallax was even a thing because of this device.- Great design, buttons and dials all feel great.- Quality hardware*: Does not feel cheap or clacky, it’s just the right weight and solid form (*could use better adhesive, more on this later)- I really love the feel of everything: the screen, the pen, the buttons, the dials.- The third button is heaven, further the tool wheel it pulls up really increases the range of efficient work. Little extra ditbit is the driver UI is super clean, very nice touch.- No diagonal jitter.- 1080p is clean in this screen size.- Huion customer service is A++++ (more on this below)- I love it’s thick tapered pen, I don’t like pencil-style styluses for drawing tablets.Cons:- It can get a bit too warm on the port side after a few hours of use. Just warm enough to be uncomfortable, I have to take a breaks by turning it off to let it cool down. This usually happens around the 3 hour mark, and cools down quickly.- Relatively dark screen, only gets up to 200 nits, which is a bit of a bummer, so its not very good in bright situations. I did found a workaround with this by playing with the settings, but you do end up with too much high contrast, so you are potentially losing some of the color range. I’m okay with it as it is a balance with making it power efficient, which I was prioritizing for this on-the-go setup. Simply don’t sit in the sun and you’ll be good!- I feel it’s almost a bit long for backpacking it, but it does have to accommodate the buttons and dials.TL:DR: Wanted tablet for school, when in my past life was a professional artist so I was picky. The tablet received had a physical issue where the screen was pulling up from the case near the C-port, but Huion came through with a replacement, and I received EXCELLENT and VERY SWIFT assistance from Huions customer support team. They made the replacement process genuinely pain-free.So as the title states, I’m a huge XP-PEN fan, all my models at home/for work have been XP-PEN.So when I started school I wanted a graphic tablet for on the go.My requirements were:- Portability: Must be small but large enough, slim and lightweight- Energy efficient: the lower the better, but enough balance for a bright enough screen- A dial: I became spoiled with dials from XP-PENs pro series at home.- Etched Glass Screen: I wanted the screen to last/not get damaged from tons of use, nor did I want to replace any screen protectors.- Thunderbolt compatible, I wanted a single cable situation. It’d be embarrassing doing the whole 3-1 cable setup in the middle of class.- Pressure sensitivity: I realllly wanted to get something with 16k pressure.- Decent Color Gamut ranges: I could have gotten an iPad but I wanted the power of and access of a windows PC.- Affordability would be cool but not a priority as long as it fit the above.I researched for a week straight and unfortunately XP-PEN tablets didn’t fit this bill all at once so I broadened my search to Huion. I found this tablet the night before it’s release just as I was about to settle for something that didn’t match enough of my requirements. The Kamvas 13 Gen3 hits ALL of my requirements!When I received it and tested it, I was blown away. I was VERY satisfied, even with the slightly dark screen. It felt better than my at-home XP-PEN 22r pro which is simply insane to me. Even though I was just testing it, doing nothing serious with it yet, the tactile feel of it was so satisfying that I was sucked in immediately to drawing something much more in-depth than just a few spirals and writing.A few days in however, I noticed that the screen was pulling up near the C-ports as I could see into the body of the tablet. At first I was worried it was from the heat of use, but my husband mentioned he saw it the first day initially. I quickly registered the tablet and submitted a support ticket. They responded to me within 24 hours, and initially asked if I were able to push it back into place, and if I was okay with that they could offered me a 30.00 refund for the inconvenience. The reason for why it may have been pulling up was that it may have faced some high heat on its travel to me. Makes sense as it was summer and Im out in the desert.I wanted/need this tablet to last the next 2.5 years of school, so I requested a replacement after some hesitancy. They were able to assist me with processing a replacement easily. They sent me a return label, and sent the replacement after receiving back the original tablet. They were also very patient with me as I lagged a bit during returning the original as by this time, I was in my first rounds of exams in school. The label they sent, was VERY fast, so a day after dropping it off, they had the original back, and a day later I had the replacement on my door step through Amazon. To be frank, I was astounded and in awe by the number of people who assisted me with this process, so professionally and so quickly/efficiently despite the affordability of the device.The replacement has a 0.01 difference in the screen calibration paperwork, and is in perfect working order – No screen issues this time around and is just as magnificent as the first one, sans screen lifting.Anyways, this is a lot of words to say I’m a new believer/Fan and will certainly be recommending Huion products to my hobby and professional art friends and professional colleagues from now on!

Surprisingly very nice feel, weight, and size. Connects easily.
Surprisingly very nice feel, weight, and size. It connects easily. I’m a new amateur at trying to do digital sculpting so I am not very adept at using this so I’m not able to give you an experience opinion with regards to pressure sensitivity and the like. but it’s easier to use than the prior digital tablet I had (which inexplicably broke).I also bought separately the Huion full featured USB-C cable that supports Alt DP 1.2 over USB-C and while it works great on my HP Pavilion Gaming Laptop, that cable does not work work with my MSI Mag Tomahawk B550 WiFi motherboard. I will have to upgrade to a motherboard like the MSI Mag Tomahawk B570 WiFi for support of DP 1.2 over USB-C on one of that motherboard’s USB-C ports. However, the supported and supplied 3 prong cable that came with this digital tablet works fine with no need for an external 5V DC USB power supply, the motherboard I have handles the power supply fine.I downloaded the driver and the PDF manual direct from the Huion support site. Installation gave me no trouble.It’s quite flexible with regards to software configuration too. You will like it, I’m pretty sure.

I use it everyday no issues. Would recomend !
Ive had this for almost 2 months now and so far works good no problems , good color clear screen small amount of drag with the pen following but i am using a longer display cord , but the drag is barely noticiable not reall an issue and i am using it on a Beelink Mini PC, AMD Ryzen 7 5800H (8C/16T, up to 4.4GHz), 32GB DDR4 500GB M.2 NVMe SSD, SER5 Pro Mini Desktop Computer Support 4K@60Hz Triple Display/DP1.4/HDMI/Type-C/WiFi 6/BT5.2/Gaming/Office/Home. Seem to run fine with this combo. Would recomend.

Works with PNP of Windows 11 Enterprise
The drawing tablet works thanks to the PNP (plug and play) functionality of Windows 11 Enterprise on my company laptop – where I can’t install the Huion drivers (any drivers really) because of company policy.
