I own this tablet: For the Japanese price, it is worth it to buy it for the bundled accessories. The tablet itself: Other than the screen and APU being good, it is a heavily stripped down tablet missing a lot of the features that other tablets in its price range or even cheap tablets will have. No haptics, biometrics, and so on. It is very focused on the screen interaction experience and that is basically it.

  Blatant about what? I actually own this tablet and I bought it for reading sheet music and doodling.(Also for Android development for a project that I'm working on.) The Eva interface is pretty cool, but it is not worth what I paid for it. I would recommend people look for other options or maybe wait for something better to come out.

    That said, having lived through the dark days when Wacom wasn't making tablets and licensing only a few, it is quite nice that they are now manufacturing/licensing so many options. Not sure when something better or more interesting is likely to come out in terms of UI --- the days of pen-centric UI experimentation seem to be over (I miss Go Corp.'s PenPoint, kind of wish I'd bought a Momenta, and these days even look back on Windows for Pen Computing and Windows XP Tablet PC Edition w/ fondness) --- arguably, it's been quite downhill since Microsoft crippled styluses as a dumbed-down 11th touch input for scrolling in Fall Creators Update. Windows 11 is barely usable, but I still have to keep the Settings App open so I can toggle back-and-forth between using the stylus as a mouse or no, and the only browser which supports disabling scrolling w/ a stylus is Firefox, so I have to remember a specific Github page which has the instructions for toggling that UI setting.

I view it being stripped down and focused (and _not_ having biometrics) as a feature --- kind of annoyed my Galaxy Book 3 Pro 360s have a fingerprint sensor, and I've rather consciously _not_ removed the film covering from them. If I wasn't looking at a stack of tablets I don't use as much as I arguably ought (Toshiba Encore 2 Write 10, Raspad v3, spare SGB Pro 360, Wacom ArtZ pen display) I'd not have been able to resist it.
