Man, I was so lucky to get my original tablet. Before screen tablets were really taking off n fairly cheap, I had my eyes on a surface pro, check it one day and its on sale for barely a grand... i forget how much of that money i had and i guess the real luck is having Well-Offish and Too Generous stepparent but man. If i hadnt convinced them to buy it that day, cuz it was only on sale for one more day, I'd have just never gotten into digital art and I'dve never done my comic. Traditional was jus so Much. Crazy to think about the little decisions you make that change your life...

Going to miss the portability if I do go to college. Both in the 'nice to have portable compuper' sense and 'i can work on stuff when i have a chance' way...

Hope that right to repair law changes stuff cuz man literally only the battery was broke. But you cant replace it without taking the whole thing apart by literally melting the screen off...

I'd totally buy another when my huion dies inevitably cuz it was good, but only if it can be reasonably repaired. Its so annoying, im the techie person of the family, and i wouldnt be able to do it. Not to mention the danger of. Yknow. Heating up a tablet with an exploding battery in it.

Though the pen nibs do suck ass price wise, god, €20 for three inch-long cylinders. Dont miss that. Also the keyboard which worked for like. Not even half a year. Even when i got it replaced under warranty. Still kicked it in the same amount of time.

Oh man i forgot, i actually replaced the whole tablet too cuz it had a common defect. Under warranty, baaaarely. Can I just say, another life changing decision that I decided on a whim to put my stuff on Onedrive cuz oh. Man. I would have lost everything again if I hadnt. Please, if you make anything on a computer back it up. On a hard drive, on a cloud, as many places as you can. You dont know when something will fuck up, including a hard drive, they have a lifespan. All my first digital art ill never see again cuz i dropped my old laptop once. My first minecraft worlds i spent hundreds of hours on. Soooo easy lose digital things. Heck if you like any vids or websites keep a copy of em, you never know when theyre gonna go down.
