The Best Affordable Tablet for Graphic Designers | Huion H640P Review

[@EricVasquezDesign]

Are you using a drawing tablet for your graphic design work? Let me know in the comments!

[@JustMe-cb3ug]

I love that this is short and answered all the basic questions I have. Your voice is soothing too. I plan to buy this as my first drawing tablet. Thank you!

[@EricVasquezDesign]

@@JustMe-cb3ug I’m glad you enjoyed the review and that it answered all of your questions! Be sure to check the link in the description to pick one up! I hope you will love it!

I didnt want anything extravagant to just do some general quilting/ crafting experimenting on the laptop. Plus had a $25 gift card. Was VERY suprised Amazon had a $10 coupon with this item. Only spent $5 and watching this review making me so happy!

[@panos21sonic]

I love validating my purchases. Just ordered this for note taking in uni. 40.40€ including shipping, very satisfied

[@amirmir3244]

Fantastic work. I started looking into tablets just recently and I found your video and talking style very helpful

[@EricVasquezDesign]

Thanks so much! I really appreciate that. What kind of tablet did you end up going with?

[@amirmir3244]

@@EricVasquezDesign didn’t get one, still researching. I need one tablet, mostly for doing some basic graphic design like drawing, flowcharts and charts and all of that stuff. Nothing very heavy like professionals do.

[@EricVasquezDesign]

@@amirmir3244 for basic design tasks I do think that the Huion H640P would be a great one to start with. It’s small and easy to transport, weighs under 2lbs, and you can get it for around $35-$40 on Amazon so way cheaper than a lot of other drawing tablets out there.

Great review!!

[@EricVasquezDesign]

@@diegosjournal thank you! 🙏

[@duckhat2588]

I needed this when contemplating whether to buy this drawing tablet

[@EricVasquezDesign]

@@duckhat2588 that’s great to hear! Which tablet did you end up going with?

[@spookydoofus4526]

I have one myself. Im a 3D animator and although it takes some getting used to. Its really good for adding subtle details. Its def work. I just wish it had a scroll wheel.

[@overlycranked8674]

Great comparison video from an actual user of both tablets. You answered my question about the possibility of " crammed " drawing surface of H640P. Thank you for that. Are you using either of the Huion tablets on any flavours of Apple silicon ( M1 ~ M4 ) ?

[@EricVasquezDesign]

@@overlycranked8674 thank you for the kind words! I’m glad you liked the video and that it answered your question about the surface of the H640P. I’m using all of my tablets on an M1 Macbook Pro and it works great. If you’re interested in drawing tablets I will be making a new tablet video soon!

[@overlycranked8674]

@@EricVasquezDesign Good to know the new Huion graphic tablets work with MacOS and Apple silicon. My older Huion " New 1060 PLUS " doesn't work properly on my MacStudio M2. I am looking forward to your graphic tablet videos.

[@abhayyadav8303]

does it have to be charged???

[@EricVasquezDesign]

@@abhayyadav8303 the tablet needs to be connected to a computer, but aside from that there’s no need to charge the tablet or stylus pen.

[@Sn00ze333]

thank you for making this video!

[@CheezItMuncherZack]

Okay, yeah. I definitely scored for Christmas this year.

[@johnleighdesigns]

great to hear your review - is this model dating back to 2017 I just looked at it on amazon? I have just started looking at tablets again as ive got an old wacom tablet that works ok though surface has lot scratches now but what holds me back updating to something newer, lighter with more sensitivity is the worry about whether your palm or wrist resting on the tablet while you draw will interfere on these cheaper tablets - I dont want to be wearing any gloves which I dont have to on wacom wonder your experience on this?

[@EricVasquezDesign]

Thanks for your comment John! Yes, I believe you are correct - the HUION Inspiroy H640P first came out in 2017. While HUION has a great selection of tablets, this is easily one of the most affordable and easy-to-use models that I have come across. To be completely honest, I am not a big fan of the gloves either, and I have never used a glove when working with tablets. The H640P is no exception and after using it for a few weeks I can say that you definitely won't need a glove if you decide to go with this one.

[@johnleighdesigns]

@@EricVasquezDesign awesome appreciate the feedback!

[@ajmaeenmahtab9128]

Hi, awesome review man!! But I am very confused on whether to buy this particular one or the XP-Pen Star-G640? I'll use it mainly for note-taking only

[@EricVasquezDesign]

@@ajmaeenmahtab9128 thank you! I’m glad you liked the review. I haven’t used the XP-Pen Star G640 before so I can’t give an honest answer between those two. I’m thinking about doing a series of reviews on affordable tablets and can consider adding this one to the list.

[@ajmaeenmahtab9128]

@EricVasquezDesign Will be looking forward to that!

[@dimdion]

Amazing video. I was wondering does it work with adobe animate?

[@EricVasquezDesign]

@@dimdion thanks for your comment! To answer your question, yes, the Huion does work with Adobe Animate.

[@dimdion]

Thank you so much!

[@rajranjan3415]

I m confused between h640p & hs64. Which one should I buy?

[@EricVasquezDesign]

@@rajranjan3415 personally I haven’t had hands on experience with the HS64, but I do know that the H640P has more 6 programmable keys where the HS64 only has 4. Both of these models seem very similar in terms of specs. The only other differences I can see is that the HS64 is a little smaller and lighter than the H640P. I think with these two being so similar it’s really a matter of preference.

[@Uselessdodo]

I'm getting one soon

[@anzum-21]

Is it compatible with Affinity softwares?

[@EricVasquezDesign]

@@anzum-21 yes! This tablet is compatible with Affinity Designer and Affinity Photo.

[@anzum-21]

@EricVasquezDesign Should I buy the Huion H430P or Huion H640P Graphics Tablet? I’m into digital content creation, and so far, I’ve been creating digital art using a mouse on my laptop. It’s been challenging and time-consuming. I’m new to this but aspire to become a professional graphic designer. Since I’m on a tight budget, I’m considering these two options but can’t decide which one to choose. Could you please suggest which one would be better for me?

[@EricVasquezDesign]

@ I would recommend the 640P that I’ve linked in the video description. This will be a great option for your first tablet and in my opinion, it’s easier to start with a smaller tablet before going with a larger model.

[@anzum-21]

@@EricVasquezDesign Thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful response! I’ve decided to go with your recommendation.

[@exnoxanimations4649]

Can we sometimes use our finger to navigate in this graphic tablet or does it only takes the pen to work

[@EricVasquezDesign]

@@exnoxanimations4649 the tablet surface only responds to the nib of the stylus pen.

[@विमलपरमार-छ3थ]

​@@EricVasquezDesignYeah it's been good so far. Just curious to know, if we can assign a dedicated arrow as the mouse has one...

[@EricVasquezDesign]

@@विमलपरमार-छ3थ I’m happy to hear that you are liking the tablet so far! I’m not sure I understand correctly, but it sounds like you want to assign the arrows from the keyboard as shortcut keys on the tablet?

[@विमलपरमार-छ3थ]

@@EricVasquezDesign I mean to say, since sometime it's difficult to locat pen position, can we assign arrow instead of dot, like one in the mouse?

[@EricVasquezDesign]

@@विमलपरमार-छ3थ Ah I see. I think you can change the cursor to an arrow using mouse mode inside of the tablet settings.
