Hey Jow Forums, my little sister is suffering from depression and I want to gift her something to cheer her up...

Hey Jow Forums, my little sister is suffering from depression and I want to gift her something to cheer her up, it just occurred to me that she would love a drawing tablet, but I know nothing about them, could you help me?

So far I saw three that got my attention, a Huion H420 that has 2048 pressure levels and goes for as low as 30 bucks, a Wacom Intuos that everyone recommends to me but has worse rating and fewer pressure levels for about 80 bucks and finally a Wacom Intuos Art that goes for 200 bucks but only has 1024 pressure levels, what's the deal? Why does it cost 170 extra bucks if it has half the features?

Money is not an issue, but I want to know what should I look for and why the big price difference

gift her your undying love and marry her instead
huion h420 is probably good though if your a virgin

You can give her an orgasm

I'd probably get her whichever Intuos fits into your budget. I believe all of them have more than 1024 pressure levels, so I'm not sure where you got that from.

Hope your sister does well and enjoys her gift!

I have the H420 its fuckin shit

difference in pressure level number isn't even discernible, quality of pressure sensitivity is more of a concern than that number
having half the number of pressure levels isn't like having half the features. it's barely a concern if it's no lower than 1024
there are actual features, like pen rotation or something

>my little sister is suffering from depression and I want to gift her something to cheer her up
why don't you give her something that will encourage her to leave the house? you're just going to turn her into a shut-in who draws furry porn

I got it from some website, the amazon listing doesn't say how many pressure levels it has at all, thank you!
Then I won't buy it, thanks user
I shall buy the Intuos Art then? It has really good reviews

you make that sound like a bad thing

What would you recommend then? She's quite young so I don't think that would be an issue, we do go out pretty often and I constantly encourage her to make friends and be happy, I just want to give her some way to express herself and be less dependant on me

How old is she?

i don't think low tier wacoms are meaningfully different in any way except size
rather get a bluetooth model than an art one
and isn't intuos art line discontinued

So what do you think that makes someone whos depressed want to leave the house, that you can just buy?

Apart from LSD

Oh, you are right, I just noticed the listing has an old model warning, what would you recommend then?
She is twelve

don't get the huion it's pure trash. pen is fat and heavy as fuck, doesn't draw well and will probably break in a year or so. always shell out the shekels for Wacom, fuck the pressure levels they don't really mean shit

but what do I know I only use a tablet for osu

can you post pics of her armpits

>tfw no sagiri imouto

intuos s bt. this line doesn't support their bt kit, so if you don't get wireless, you never get it. previous gens support it though, and it's actually not deprecated yet, fucking pro tablets still need one. you could go for a small intuos pro, which actually has features like tilt and touch (basically touchpad functionality, actually convenient). but those features, while convenient, it might be better to get a more expensive one later if they're felt needed and worth it. also >12 lmao why pro tablet now
but hey, could be nice

> why the big price difference
I bet it's about drivers.

good that you give her a drawing tablet, better will be to go with her in the nature to stroll around in parks between trees and rivers and meadows.
make some activites with her, give her a nice book like D. Suarez "Influx" or Hararis "Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind" e.g.

Or she should read
galactanet.com/oneoff/theegg_mod.html
and embrace the world.

Good luck.

apple ipad with apple pencil it is then

Or give her THE DICK!!1

I got a huion h430p and got no complaints, price difference is negligible from h420 and pen is actually battery free and light, nothing like the other trash user was talking about

Thanks, I'll take a look, I'm not really a fan of Bluetooth tho, it's been quite unreliable to me in the past, I'm still a fan or wired technology, yet, if it's good then I might get it. About the pro thing, well, I don't mind buying another more advance tablet for her in the future, I'll like her to test the waters first.
Thanks, we do go out pretty often, to parks, malls and even just to walk for a bit, she's not quite into reading, but I'll try those suggestions plus the tablet, I think the more options the better

Yes, the continuous unceremonious contact to nice, friendly people is probably the most important!

is she into drawing and shit? I'm not very sure, but in my case this hasn't worked and my tablet is rotting away inside my closet because of how hard it is to get used to it when you're starting, maybe you should consider something she likes doing or is interested in learning, like musical instruments and whatnot
just trying to help your sad imouto

She is into drawing and was curious about drawing in a computer, I'm sure she will use it, at least to draw something for me as she usually does, as long as she has fun I'm fine with that, thanks for the concern, she doesn't really seem interested in music, making music at least, but I will ask her

there's no other option for wireless than bt really. don't skimp on that, just get it. sure, it'll end up being plugged in and out the same amount because it needs to be charged, but not having the cable run below your arm is great

Just get the smallest wired Intuos. Even better would be a thinkpad Tablet.
Godspeed to you and to your eromanga-sensei user.

Thank you everyone for your input, I'll be getting some sleep now as I barely got any, I have decided to look for a Wacom modern tablet, not pro but one of the expensive ones, and maybe I'll just ask her directly which one she would like and if she would like one. Feel free to leave any suggestions, I'm make sure to read all your posts later.

!!!

That one with the higher sensitivity is because it's a newer model but 1024 is all you really need. Wacom is pretty overpriced at times but you can expect quality build and drivers from it. The Huion tablet you mentioned seems a bit too small I'd recommend going a size up if you're planning on spending more. I hear mostly good things about Huion but Windows 10 updates tends to fuck the drivers up so it's kinda hard to recommend.

>$0.55 has been added to your banggood.com account

Small sized drawing tablets are a pain in the ass to draw on, once you remove the space taken up by the interface you're left with half a postcard of actual drawing area.

Huion and Xp-Pen are unironically better than budget Wacom offerings.

You chose tablets like this
>Are you willing to spend 350$
>If yes - Intuos Pro
>If not Huion or Xp-Pen.

But make sure to get one with a USB-C connector.
Chinese mini/micro usb ports are prone to sudden death. Chinese USB-C are just fine.

I personally use an XP-Pen Deco 01 and it's very fucking good for what it is.
I heard Huion added some extra features like tilt lately but i'm not motivated to upgrade.

>So what do you think that makes someone whos depressed want to leave the house, that you can just buy?

Prozak unironically made me join the local gym.

>tfw no 12yr old little sister to help with depression
why live

She's 19 though.

too old

Based and littlesisterpilled

wacom just has a stranglehold on the industry, in part due to their battery-less stylus patents

Patent expired.

Honestly Wacom will go under in no time because they don't have an edge over competition now.

post sister

Nice trips and dubs now go back to being fucked in the ass for your money retard.

No more/reduce eating refined carbs or added sugars + mewing, stomach vacuum and kegel exercises + lots of walking with zero heel drop shoes + knuckle push ups (nicer on wrists) and inverted towel rows + tendon strengthening with resistance bands. Don't over exercise, if body is sore then rest until it's gone. Read into Toxoplasma gondii and depression. Don't encourage taking anti-depressives. Consider getting the Intuos 3. It's got a smooth drawing surface unlike modern tablets and it's incredibly tough.

>I want to gift her something
I want to give her something

give her a rope

>my little sister is suffering from depression
Have you perhaps tried talking to her/listening to what she has to say?
Do you honestly think she would even use your gift since she is in a bad mental state.

Yes, she's real talkative with me but isn't with our parents or friends, I think a hobby would help her greatly

>I think a hobby would help her greatly
They way you worded seems like you picked out a hobby for her or is drawing something she enjoys doing on her own accord?

Just my advice here. Get her a bike and get yourself one (if you don´t have on) and go for a ride with her. Doing something outdoors sounds like a better way to deal with depression instead of just sitting in her room and draw stuff.

I've only used the cintiq and huion but the wacom cintiq seems to have a more natural pressure response so I prefer it by far. Not sure how the cheaper wacom's are but I assume they'll feel more natural too

>12 years old
>being depressed

Are all Americans this pathetic? 12 year old African children aren't even depressed. They are fighting to survive. Why is it that Ameriburgers create their own problems when none actually exist?

I'd be depressed if I was an American kid forced to do common core, drilling for school shooters, tranny acceptance classes.

Broken families, half of marriages now end in divorce even before kids finish high school. If that doesn't get them then parents being alcoholics/druggies and/or being abused by them will.

Sadly these same kids tend to repeat what their parents did to them by the whole "do unto others as what has been done to me" kind of mindset is drilled into them.

Yup, she loves drawing in paper, almost every day draws something and recently I gave her a laptop which she enjoys, a drawing tablet would be the next step
As I said before, we do go out often, and she does have a bike, I would like her to have another activity she enjoys while at home
She has her reasons that I won't share, I also can't help the african children directly, I can help my sister thought

Don't be ashamed about preferring to help your own sister, everyone has self-interest user.

give her dick

Why she depressed at such a young age?

to all shits shitting "just go outside bro lmao", no fucking shit
OP already said he does go outside and participate in activities with her and stuff, and no need to repeat the same thing over and over
you can't just fucking live outside, and the girl is into drawing, she will appreciate the gift

Literally everyone's depressed
@OP grab her a copy of pokemon let's go eevee and call it a day

I got a Lenovo yoga book for school. It comes with a built in Wacom digitizer. It comes in Windows and Android. it's more expensive than a digitizer but I recommend it.

Good luck user. Hope it works out.

unfortunately there's no minimum age for that, or something similar
I've never had any friends until 7th grade and I was always the shortest, weakest, most ugly of my friends or my class and always felt like shit
I still do nowadays, not much has changed, but I learned to deal with it myself since no one gave a flying shit during my childhood (I wish I had a brother like OP), although I never actually complained about depression or even knew it was a thing back then, but even now I wouldn't classify it as depression, it's more like insecurity or some shit

Interesting, she already has a computer tho, I gave her one for Christmas, perhaps it's too soon to give her another one but I'll consider it
She got bored of it pretty quicky

>She has her reasons that I won't share
This is an anonymous Goan pipe fitting forum, you may tell us, we don't know her.

I got an Huion H640P for $60 canada bucks last year and i'm glad I went with this one instead of a shitty cheap wacom tablet. It's got 8192 levels of pressure sensitivity and it's got 6 buttons that are programmable to whatever you want and saves the config to an XML you can import and export. This way you can have a config file for using photoshop and another for paint tool sai. Good shit / 10

depression is best solved by traveling, especially to 3rd world shithole countries

seeing how people live puts shit in a perspective

Wish I could help you, OP. Good luck, make your sis happy.

I don't really want to tell her story, but if you must know, it involves sexual molestation at her school and discovering her father, my father, isn't really her biological father. It's deeper than that, but I think those two things are the cause of her depression, she's lonely, she isolates herself, she hates our father, she hates everything involving school, well, it's sad but she trust me and I can still make her smile, I just want her to get better and to be happy
We live in a third world country

That's rough user, I wish you both luck in the future.

based onii-chan

Don't know anything about drawing tablets, so I can't help ya there.
Good luck on finding a nice gift for her though! I hope she enjoys it and hopefully you're able to catch up on some sleep.

You know what you should do?
Brush her teeth.

God damn, thats tough.
You are a good brother user, looking out for your lil sis wellbeing like that.

Hope I'm not too late. DONT BUY HUION. I had to (cheap) huion tablets and they are utter garbage, maybe the high end tablets are ok. XP-Pen tablets are very nice and inexpensive

Buy dildo!

You're a good brother

Thank you, I haven't bought one yet, I'll go for a Wacom

>Hey Jow Forums, my little sister is suffering from depression and I want to gift her something to cheer her up

A dog. They will teach her responsibility, and also companionship.

We have a cat

Get her a tablet and have her play osu! That'll definitely fix her mental state.

kek
it's the opposite
she'll start to hate herself even more and become frustrated at the game for being bad at it and being told to enjoy gaem
source : am addicted to osu and play with a tablet

Huion for size and quality for price ratio
Bambo for being pretentious on the internet.

Thanks for being a good brother m8

Might I recommend a Tab S4?

It's an android tablet and comes with a stylus, a wacom EMR one to be exact
You can use virtualtab on android and windows to connect it and use it as a drawing tab

The upside is she can use it as a drawing tablet on her PC if needed but also she can take it outside and still use the android programs which are quite nice like infinite painter, sketchbook pro, art rage, etc

this post was brought to you by /n/ come visit sometime

I'm again

Don't buy . I'm /ic/ and generally tablet pcs (including thinkpads and even better ones like aplel or surface) with styluses are good for note taking or light sketches for pros or people who that seriously. Beginners might get discouraged quickly.

>xp-pen
that's an utter trash.

fpbp, fuck her

Yes it's why I recommended Samsung S4 has it has an EMR pen. N-trig are the ones that are fucked.

I want an imouoto

Also the fact you said surface and think pad are "good" means you don't know much about pen tech.
Surface and thinkpads are very bad. Surfaces are far, far worse but the n-trig digitizers in general are bad for proper art

i have an intuos it was a gift and i use the fuck out of it.

based and karenpilled

Get the Huion 610 Pro
I have both the H420 and the 610, the 420 will cause tons of hand cramping and the 610 is just big enough to be comfortable to draw on without your hands exploding
also the pen is rechargeable

Attached: 1451185825616.jpg (419x536, 112K)

>H610Pro
the revamped version has a battery-free pen (no charging) and tilt support with an improved drawing surface. So might wanna get either that or one of the newer models with the same features.

I recommend a deco01

>nobody cares about me
