Pros & Cons
Pros
The layout of the drawing surface and shortcut keys is perfect. It has a smooth, responsive drawing surface. The pen button further to the nib sometimes gets in the way, but that's my only complaint.
The stylus has two * and doesn't require any batteries. The tip is replaceable, and the set comes with ten replacement tips. It's compact, responsive, has programmable * and is easy to set up.
It works out of the box on windows, even without installing drivers. One small drawback is that there is no software of its own after plugging into the chromebook.
Xp-pen deco mini 4 is an excellent quality tablet. Works on android phones and tablets via micro-usb or usb-c. Not only is xp-pen less expensive than wacom, it works better than them too.
Cons
Only way i can use it is if i use a different adaptor i purchased. It is quite frustrating. Would avoid purchasing as is useless without it.

This is very good for the price!
It feels like it should cost at least double the price.
Competitiveness
Not only is xp-pen less expensive than wacom, it works better than them too.
It doesn't compare to a full-sized, professional tablet of course, but for quick touch-ups, beginners, and use on-the-go, it is... Read More
