Ay teka, bakit may Windows version pa nito? Windows is so outdated compared to Android! Real professionals turn to Android because of huge number of apps and dump that piece of shit Windows.

Long live Android! Windows and its users must die.

parang si Wacom pa lang yong naka una nagpalabas ng 13.3″ tablet. Who cares kahit anong “Made” ito pero one this is for sure “Intel” & “Nvidia” are US based company.

Not bad 3rdGen Intel procie kakalabas lang ngayon ng 4th Gen kaya last year pa to na manufacture pero maganda pa rin yong specs.

I was hoping na maglabasan din yong ZTE & Huawei tablet ng 13.3″ series then susunod na lang yong low-profile company na marunong mag pirate or gumawa ng look alike ng ibang product.

obviously like your web-site but you need to check the spelling on quite
a few of your posts. Many of them are rife with spelling issues and I find it very bothersome to
inform the reality however I will certainly come again again.

The XP-Pen ( https://www.xp-pen.com ) performs as well as the Wacom cintiq I’d used previously so the quality of my work or ability to put out the best work I can is not at all diminished. furthermore I see no reason to spend upwards of 2x the price when you can get the same performance out of a non wacom brand – XP-Pen being one of the most known along with others.
