This is the one I use 😊 if you do get a tablet, a helpful tip is to tape a sheet of paper over it so when you draw, you get the same feel as drawing in a sketchbook. It helps keep the pen from sliding and gives you straighter lines

XP-Pen Star05 Wireless 2.4G... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MAZ5FDL?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

The huion seems like a good choice! There's also cheap Wacom tablets under a 100 euros now. They are fairly small but they have solid software. A lot of cheaper brands tend to have more software issues. I got this one for my birthday last year:

I like it, but it has its flaws. Like, my pc is relatively, not crazy, far away from my desk, so sometimes the wireless function doesn't work flawlessly until I slightly move my tablet towards the usb receiver in my desktop. Also I can't use the tablet while it's charging on cable. These are all things to consider!

Also there are a lot of graphics tablets that have a pen that needs to be charged, I specifically wanted one that doesn't need to be charged because that's what I was used to from my old, cheap wacom. If it's battery charged it's usually quite a bit heavier too. I don't know if you've owned a drawing tablet before but personally I like the lighter pens.

Overall huion has been growing as a great alternative for wacom, with their software stabilizing more recently! ( A newer model will probably have better, more stable software too)

I've been interested in getting a display tablet myself, but they're crazy expensive T-T

The Intuos is reasonably priced (70$, repackaged through Amazon prime). Can you give me some opinions on a few tablets? Is there a good size for the best usability, while still fitting in a backpack? Out of these few tablets, which one stands out as good/great, are any terrible?

The Star05 is compatible with Windows 10/8/7 and Mac 10.7 or above operating systems and most currently available drawing software, such as Photoshop, Paint tool Sai, Clip Studio Paint, etc.

thank you for your input! It is definiately appreciated since this is my first drawing tablet, I don't really know what to look for.

Any thoughts on the XP-Pen Star05 (it's $10 cheaper and wireless) vs the Wacom Intuos Draw CTL490DW?

What would you be streaming? By tablet do you mean something like this? You also want a tower, not a laptop correct? Lastly, you have a copy of windows you will use to install your operating system?
