Review: eiP Hyperkeys keyboard case for M4 M5 iPad Pro

Review: eiP Hyperkeys keyboard case for M4 M5 iPad Pro

Review unit provided by eiP

The eiP Hyperkeys keyboard case is an alternative to the M4/M5 iPad Pro Magic Keyboard. At the time of review, this keyboard case is selling for USD 79.90 and USD 94.90 on Amazon US for the 11-inch and 13-inch models, respectively. For comparison, the Apple Magic Keyboard is selling at USD 299 and USD 349 for the two sizes.

This keyboard case uses a laptop-style folding design. Once opened, the tablet "floats" above the keyboard. The tablet attaches magnetically to the back, allowing it to be removed quickly and easily. Since this keyboard case is made for different iPad models, make sure you choose the correct model and size.

From the back, it looks just like the Apple Magic Keyboard, except for an additional magnetic flap that prevents the Apple Pencil from accidentally dislodging.

Shown here is the eiP Pencil X Classic attached to the iPad Pro.

Like most keyboard cases, it is heavy, but not heavier than other iPad keyboard cases I've tested. It will obviously add extra weight and thickness to the tablet.

The USB-C charging port is located next to the hinge.

The interior backing features a soft material that feels luxurious. The magnets are strong. When the tablet is attached, the setup becomes top-heavy, so using it on your lap may result in more wobbling.

Build quality is good. The exterior is smooth PU leather.

The finishing looks great.

The 13-inch keyboard case features a full-size layout. I suppose the 11-inch version will have smaller keys, much like most 11-inch keyboard cases.

The keyboard layout is standard and easy to get used to. It is backlit, and you can use keyboard shortcuts to adjust the brightness.

The keyboard has a dedicated Siri key. I would prefer a right-Cmd key instead, though I don't use keyboard shortcuts that often on the iPad. However, if you rely on the right-Cmd key frequently, its absence will be a huge inconvenience.

The touchpad is large enough and supports multi-touch gestures. Default tracking speed feels slow, but you can adjust it in the iPadOS settings.

The typing experience is good, offering decent key travel and feedback. While the keys don't feel quite as premium as Apple's more expensive keyboard case, I'd rate the feel a 4/5. Given the significantly lower price point, I have no major complaints.

The keyboard comes with a companion app that allows customization of shortcuts, lighting, sleep timer, and touchpad settings, as well as checking the battery level.

Battery life is rated for up to 200 hours without the backlight (roughly 25 days typing 8 hours a day). With backlight level 1, it lasts 30 hours, and at backlight level 5 (brightest), it drops to 5 hours. Checking the battery status using the onboard indicator light isn't very clear, so you might want to add a battery widget to your iPad home screen instead.

There are five shortcut buttons on the function row that can be customized with shortcuts for Procreate, Notability, Goodnotes, and iPadOS.

These buttons cannot be configured for other apps. You can set up shortcuts for up to four apps and press Fn + eiP key to toggle between them.

A status light illuminates when switching between app shortcut profiles. Note that if you use your right hand to press Fn + eiP, your hand will block the indicator light.

This keyboard offers exceptional value for money. It looks great and performs well. I honestly do not understand why anyone would buy the Apple Magic Keyboard at such heavily marked-up prices.

Availability

The eiP Hyperkeys keyboard case is available on Amazon US. Just make sure to select the correct model and size for your specific iPad.

Review: 13-inch SwitchBot AI Art Frame 2

Teoh Yi Chie — Tue, 10 Nov 2026 11:00:00 +0000

Review: 13-inch SwitchBot AI Art Frame 2

Review unit provided by SwitchBot

The SwitchBot AI Art Frame 2 is an art or photo frame that uses Spectra 6 e-ink display technology. Available sizes are 7.1, 13.3, and 31.5 inches.

Listed here are the official retail prices:

7.1”: USD 169.99 / CAD 219.99 / GBP 179.99 / EUR 199.99
13.3”: USD 399.99 / CAD 449.99 / GBP 409.99 / EUR 429.99
31.5”: USD 1399.99 / CAD 1799.99 / GBP 1599.99 / EUR 1599.99

This product launched in October 2026 and is now available from SwitchBot's official website and Amazon stores (all purchase links at end of review). Prices may be lower on online marketplaces.

Things included

Frame
Four adhesive hooks
Four wall-mount brackets
Level
USB-C to USB-C charging cable
Stand
Quick start guide
User manual
Warranty, compliance, safety, contact paperwork

Design

The frame already comes with 500 preloaded artworks. Press the button on the back, and you'll hear a sound as an image starts "drawing" itself with a series of flickers on the display.

This is a beautiful art frame, and it's very well made. The frame has a walnut-coloured wood-grain finish, a stepped bevel profile, and clean mitred corners.

There is no inner white mat, so you can display your photo or artwork at a larger size.

I measured the diagonal, and it's actually 13 inches rather than 13.3 inches, but it's still quite large. The diagonal from corner to corner of the wooden frame is 16 inches.

I'm quite surprised at how light-coloured the blank canvas is. The only other colour e-ink displays I've tested use Kaleido 3 technology, and those displays are quite dark. The Spectra 6 looks noticeably lighter, and because of that there is better contrast.

Shown above is a size comparison with my phone.

I recommend getting the 13-inch model if you have the budget because looking at a large photo or artwork just feels more satisfying. Having the 31.5-inch frame will be incredible.

The back is made of matte, textured plastic. There are holes for mounting the frame horizontally or vertically, holes for a speaker, and a larger hole for the stand.

In one corner, there's a pairing button, a reset hole, a USB-C charging port, and a function button. This frame has a 20,000 mAh battery and an advertised battery life of up to three years, which I have no reason to doubt.

The function button can be used to load the next stored picture. When the frame is mounted and the button on the back is inaccessible, you can knock on the bottom-right corner to do the same.

App

The app used to transfer artwork and photos to the frame works very well.

The SwitchBot app is available from the Apple App Store and Google Play Store. An account is required before you can pair the frame to the app. Pairing requires 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi.

After pairing, you can do the following:

Access the AI features
View the 500 preloaded artworks
Upload up to 5,000 images
Make basic edits to your images
Create a slideshow or schedule when images change

As the product name suggests, there are several AI features. With the app, you can write prompts to generate images, upload your own images for AI to remix, and have AI generate images based on the weather.

There's an AI feature called AI Studio, which costs US$5.98 per month. You get five free image generations to try it out.

Colour quality

Colour quality is better than I expected. Colours reproduced by Spectra 6 look noticeably more vibrant and brighter, with better contrast than those on Kaleido 3 displays. There's no contest here.

Spectra 6 looks great, but it isn't commonly used in e-ink tablets because image refresh times are significantly longer. This technology is ideal for art frames because there's no constant swapping of pages.

There is, of course, still a limit to the number of colours that Spectra 6 can reproduce.

From what I can see, the display has difficulty reproducing vibrant greens and pinks. Yellows, reds, and blues look good. Images with a lot of green, such as greenery, won't look as good and may actually look dark.

Shown above are the SwitchBot frame, the Bigme F13 e-ink frame (USD 299), and the M4 iPad Pro with its OLED display. The Bigme frame also uses Spectra 6, but it has trouble reproducing blues, which appear green instead.

The SwitchBot frame also has a gyroscope, so the frame's orientation is automatically updated in the app.

When I reviewed the Bigme F13 e-ink frame, I thought it was good. However, the SwitchBot looks better, its app is better, image transfer is easier, and it comes with a stand for placing the frame on a table.

Conclusion

The SwitchBot AI Art Frame 2 looks great, is well made, and performs excellently. Its visual quality is impressive. If you have the budget, choose a larger frame for a more satisfying viewing experience.

The downside is that it has difficulty reproducing greens and pinks. That's simply a limitation of Spectra 6 e-ink technology at the moment.

You can buy the SwitchBot AI Art Frame 2 from the SwitchBot official website or Amazon stores US | UK | CA | DE

Review: eiP Pencil X Classic (Apple Pencil USB-C alternative)

Teoh Yi Chie — Tue, 10 Nov 2026 10:00:00 +0000

Review: eiP Pencil X Classic (Apple Pencil USB-C alternative)

Review sample provided by eiP

The eiP Pencil X Classic is an alternative to the Apple Pencil USB-C, and has more features and is selling at less than half the price. At the time of review, the price is USD 29.90 on Amazon US.

The pen is well made with good build quality. The three colours available are red, yellow and blue. The design is clearly inspired by old-school wooden pencils.

One extra pen tip with a metal point is included. The default black tip is made of plastic, and the writing or drawing experience is similar to Apple Pencil. Original Apple Pencil tips can be used with this pen too.

The back of the pen has a USB-C port for charging. The eraser at the back is magnetically attached and does not work like an eraser; instead, it works just like the pen tip, except it's bigger and softer.

This pen is compatible with iPad models from 2018 to recent models. The pen does not require pairing with iPads to work. The pen will not work if there's already an Apple Pencil connected wirelessly to the iPad. The pen does not work with Android tablets.

Magnetic attachment works with iPads that have magnets on the side. The pen does not support magnetic charging.

It's important to know that you should not leave the pen in a discharged state for long periods of time as that can damage the small battery in it easily. If you're not someone who uses the pen often, I recommend setting a monthly alarm just to charge the pen. The same applies to the Apple Pencil USB-C, by the way.

The side button is used to power on the pen, after which you can use it as a shortcut button. The pen tip is firm and does not move.

You can use the eiP app to customise shortcuts for Goodnotes, Notability, Procreate, and iPadOS. Unfortunately, the shortcut button does not work with other drawing apps.

The drawing and writing experience is good. There's minimal to no pen latency, depending on the app. The pen supports tilt sensitivity and palm rejection, but does not support pressure sensitivity.

It is possible to use tilt sensitivity to create line variation depending on the brush and drawing app used. Shown in the picture above is the Pencil brush from the Concepts app, and tilt works well. You can draw with the sharp point of the pencil and shade with the broad side.

Digital artists would probably still prefer a pen with pressure sensitivity, but note that third party pens do not support pressure sensitivity.

The eiP Pencil X Classic is good for note-taking, and can be used for drawing but you need to know the limitations. This pen is a more affordable alternative to the Apple Pencil USB-C and it works well. The design looks beautiful and is likely to attract compliments.

Availability

You can find the eiP Pencil X Classic on eiP online store | Amazon.

Review: Majohn P139 fountain pen with flex nib

Teoh Yi Chie — Sat, 07 Nov 2026 14:00:00 +0000

Review: Majohn P139 fountain pen with flex nib

Not a sponsored review

The Majohn P139 is a fountain pen with a flex nib. P139 is the colour, bright orange. I bought the pen on AliExpress for USD 55.68 and shipping to Singapore was USD 5.01. At the time of review, this pen cost USD 39.14 before tax and shipping.

It's a budget pen so the packaging looks budget.

The pen looks and feels well made. It's much thicker than I expected, thicker than the BlueDew gen 2 flex nib fountain pen and much thicker than the Namiki Falcon.

Pen nib design is quite simple.

Pen cap is the twist type, and cannot be posted at the back.

The pen nib is made of steel and it does flex, but it's much stiffer than the BlueDew and Namiki Falcon. The stiffness reminds me of the Noodler's Ahab and Konrad but the Majohn does not smell and looks way better.

The design looks good to me.

Here are some writing samples from the three pens.

Majohn has a 0.5mm line. And since the pen nib is stiff, it will produce consistent line width unless you make a conscious effort to flex it.

Pen nibs from BlueDew and Namiki Falcon are more flexible and can create line variation more easily. Those pens are more expensive for a reason.

Video review

If you're looking for a soft flex pen, you'll be disappointed. The nib is stiff so it's not easy to use. It's inexperience so I guess it's still worth it to get one to try. You can train your finger muscles with it and the next time you use a softer flex nib you'll have a much easier time.

Artist Review: iPad mini OLED 2026 with Apple Pencil Pro

Artist Review: iPad mini OLED 2026 with Apple Pencil Pro

Not a sponsored review

The Apple iPad mini 8 or iPad mini 2026 was released in November 2026 and is an update to the iPad mini 7 from late 2024. My review is from an artist's perspective. I use tablets for drawing and note-taking.

Here are the upgrades:

60Hz OLED display replaces 60Hz LCD display.
Larger 8.5-inch screen.
Higher 600-nit brightness with up to 1200-nit HDR brightness.
Faster A20 Pro processor.
12GB RAM instead of 8GB.
IP67 water and dust resistance.
Wi‑Fi 7 and Bluetooth 6.0 support.
5.4 mm thin, 255 g weight.
Landscape front camera.
Optional US$100 nano-texture display glass, available only on 256GB and 512GB models.
Front-facing stereo speakers.
Supports external display Stage Manager

I thought this was going to be a lacklustre update, but after looking at the specifications, it's actually quite a decent update.

Unfortunately, the price increase is substantial. The price for the base model with 128GB storage and 12GB RAM is USD 699, a US$200 increase from the original launch price of the iPad mini 2024 before the June 2026 price hike.

Here's my one-sentence summary: The OLED display is noticeably brighter than the previous model and is a substantial upgrade in this aspect.

Design

The design of the iPad mini looks quite similar to the previous model but is now even thinner (5.4mm) and lighter (255g), and bezels are thinner. The portrait camera has been moved to a landscape position.

I'm not sure where the auto-brightness sensor is, but it works well.

The compact size is a huge selling point for people looking for an ultra-portable device that's powerful and also has pen support.

8.5 inches, however, is not the appropriate size for reading comics, PDFs, or magazines.

I'm still using the Xiaomi Pad Mini from September 2025 and I really enjoy sketching on it. A mini tablet does not weigh much, so the weight is not a major consideration in deciding whether to bring the tablet outdoors, and because of that, you're more likely to bring it out. The size is so convenient, but the small size is not without downsides.

The small form factor invites you readily to pick it up for reading, web browsing, and watching videos.

The power button and fingerprint scanner are on the left when the tablet is in landscape orientation. There's no Face ID, which isn't a big deal as you'll get used to fingerprint unlocking quickly.

The camera on the back is a 12MP f/1.8 sensor, the same camera from the previous gen. The Starlight colour shown above is gorgeous. The camera bump on the back looks like it can get scratched in a day so I highly recommend getting a case for this tablet.

The USB-C port has video output, and this tablet now supports Stage Manager for some desktop-style productivity. So you can use the iPad mini like a desktop computer, together with the limitations of iPadOS of course.

Display

Shown above is the iPad mini 2026's OLED beside the Xiaomi Pad Mini's LCD. I actually don't have a preference between OLED and LCD. I know OLED has more vibrant colours, extreme contrast ratio, and HDR support, but a good LCD can still look great. The LCD from the Xiaomi Pad Mini looks great. I also prefer how LCD looks at low brightness. And LCDs also get a win because they are cheaper.

I've already seen many people criticising the 60Hz refresh rate of the OLED. That's a well-deserved criticism because the only reason why the refresh rate is 60Hz is so that Apple can sell 120Hz as a new feature with the next iPad mini. By the way, Samsung started using OLED displays in their tablets more than 10 years ago, e.g. Galaxy Tab 7.7 (2011), Samsung Galaxy Tab S 8.4 & Tab S 10.5 (2014), Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 (2015). Finding 60Hz OLED displays nowadays is not easy, so Apple actually made an effort to source 60Hz OLEDs.

When you're paying so much for a tablet, you should get a 120Hz OLED display. That's a matter of principle. Having said that, 60Hz doesn't really affect the drawing experience that much. If you like to draw with quick strokes, you may see a difference with latency when comparing to a 120Hz display, but that's only if you have a 120Hz display to compare with.

Scrolling web pages with the 60Hz display is surprisingly smooth, to the point that it's difficult to see the difference when I'm scrolling on the 120Hz display of Xiaomi Pad Mini. I'm very impressed. And there's no more jelly scroll issue from the previous model.

The animation for zooming in and out on a 60Hz display is quite smooth, although if you're really looking for choppiness you will see it. 120Hz zoom in and out is smoother.

Other areas where you will see choppy animation are when swiping through open apps, and when maximizing and minimizing apps.

The main upgrade with the display is actually the increased 600 nits brightness, and OLED's extreme contrast ratio also helps with perceived brightness. This OLED display is substantially brighter than the 500-nit display on the iPad mini 2024. The previous iPad mini's real-world display brightness is probably 300-400 nits; in other words, it's not that bright.

The higher brightness makes it possible to use the iPad mini outdoors more easily now, except under direct sunlight. This is a huge improvement. Don't be distracted by the 60Hz thing since it does not affect work. Whether you can actually see the display affects work.

The iPad mini comes with an anti-reflective coating, and that does a decent job at cutting down the brightness of reflections. I hate reflections, so having an anti-reflective display is the next best thing to having a matte glass surface.

Shown above is the glossy iPad mini display beside the nano-texture glass of my M4 iPad Pro. The matte textured surface does a terrific job at removing reflections, at the cost of having diffused reflection that can affect contrast slightly. Colours and contrast are better with glossy, but the visual quality of the matte glass display is still fantastic.

Whether to get matte glass or glossy is just personal preference. If you have to work outdoors often, I recommend matte glass.

The nano-texture glass is available as an option that costs USD 100. And you can only get the nano-texture glass option when you upgrade the storage to 256GB (extra USD 100) or 512GB (extra USD 200).

With the M4 and M5 iPad Pros, getting nano-texture requires upgrading storage to 1TB. Apple wants you to buy overpriced storage from them so that you can have the option to pay extra for the nano-texture glass. With the iPad mini, it shows that Apple can make nano-texture glass available to lower storage models, but they don't want to for the iPad Pro. Apple wanting to charge money for every feature they can think of is typical Apple. Matte glass, in case you don't know, is nowadays a standard feature with Android drawing tablets, such as the Wacom MovinkPad 11, MovinkPad Pro 14, Huion Kamvas Pad 12, XPPen Magic Pro 13, Ugee ArtPlay Pad, and more.

Do note that OLED displays have Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) and people with sensitive eyes may be affected by that. If you're not sure whether you will be affected by PWM, I recommend you go see the iPad mini OLED in-store for yourself.

Apple Pencil Pro

iPad mini 2026 supports Apple Pencil Pro and Apple Pencil USB-C (no pressure sensitivity).

Apple Pencil Pro is sold separately for USD 129.

Apple Pencil Pro supports cursor hover, double-tap shortcuts, magnetic pairing and charging, haptic feedback, squeeze to show shortcuts, barrel roll, and lost location finder with the Find My app.

If you want to draw, Apple Pencil Pro is almost a must-buy since it supports pressure sensitivity.

Apple Pencil USB-C is alright for note-taking, but if you want to buy Apple Pencil USB-C, I recommend you buy a third-party Apple Pencil alternative instead, which is usually more affordable.

This third-party pen above from eiP is only USD 30 on Amazon while Apple Pencil USB-C is USD 69 on Amazon. This pen supports tilt and palm rejection, and has the same performance as Apple Pencil USB-C.

The display is laminated, so there's almost no gap between the line and the pen tip. Latency performance is good enough, not something I will think about when drawing.

I've already gotten used to drawing on a glass display, so I no longer use matte screen protectors. The pen is smooth on the glass but not slippery. If you prefer a more tactile drawing experience and don't mind sacrificing some display quality, you can certainly still go with a matte screen protector (I recommend SuperShieldz because it's cheap and good).

Apple Pencil Pro will attach to the side of the tablet magnetically for charging and Bluetooth pairing. The tablet is so much thinner compared to the pen.

I don't know how long the battery lasts for the pen, but as long as you keep the pen attached when not using it, you don't really have to worry about the battery life. I do recommend getting a case that can prevent the pen from dislodging from the side.

Creative and visual apps

iPads have a huge selection of feature-rich drawing, graphic design, and video editing apps.

Below are non-exhaustive lists for some of the popular creative apps:

Drawing

Graphic design

Affinity
Vectornator
Amadine
Adobe Photoshop
Adobe Illustrator

Apps that have minimal UI elements will work better on the smaller display. I noticed the UI for some apps is made smaller on the iPad mini, so they can be more difficult to see. In other words, the larger UI size for 11-inch tablets is not retained on the smaller 8.5-inch display.

Drawing experience

Drawing experience with Apple Pencil Pro is great, and has always been great since the first gen Apple Pencil.

The pen has support for tilt, pressure sensitivity, and palm rejection. I actually do not use many of the new features, such as barrel roll, squeeze, and tap shortcuts. I do use haptics, which let me know when I've activated a certain shortcut (by mistake).

When drawing, I find it more comfortable to rest my palm on the table instead of on the tablet. When I rest my palm on the tablet, half the display is covered.

This makes it challenging to draw because both the tablet and your hand are moving. This small display does not work well with drawing apps that have many UI elements, such as Krita, Medibang Paint, PaintStorm, Clip Studio Paint (but there's a new tablet mode).

The smaller bezels make it more difficult to do a thumb grip at the edge. Even if your thumb goes on top of the display, there's palm rejection so it's not too bad, but it's not 100% flawless, so I try to keep my thumb off the display. Palm rejection with my palm on the display is almost flawless though.

Shown above is the iPad mini beside the Xiaomi Pad Mini. I'm actually quite surprised that the pen performance of the Xiaomi Focus Pen is quite comparable to the Apple Pencil Pro. There's slight diagonal line wobble from the Xiaomi, but it's not really noticeable when actually drawing. Besides, the tablet is so small that it's really difficult to control the pen precisely enough to draw straight lines. Even when drawing with Apple Pencil Pro on such a small display, I have a higher tendency to draw more wobbly lines.

This was sketched outdoors. I had to place the tablet on the table so that my hand could rest comfortably on the table and give me more viewable display space for drawing.

The iPad mini is great for impromptu sketching. If I had planned to sketch at a cafe, I would have already brought a larger tablet. I don't always bring my tablet out, so having such a small and lightweight tablet makes it more likely for me to bring it along, even if I haven't planned to sketch. When I want to sketch, the tablet is there.

This was drawn at the cafe while I was waiting for the rain to stop. Yeah, it's great that the tablet now has some water resistance, just in case you're caught in the rain suddenly.

I actually wanted to sketch the interior of the busy cafe but it's not gonna be easy to do that with a 8.5-inch display. You can expect lots of zooming in and out. Zoom in to draw details, zoom out to check composition and perspective. When drawing on an 11-inch or larger tablet, you can check the overall composition and perspective more easily.

According to Apple, battery life is 10 hours. Battery life seems fine to me, but I did not test is battery life.

Below is the number of layers you can get for an A4-sized 300 DPI canvas in Procreate.

Model	RAM	No of layers
iPad 10 (2022)	4GB	26
iPad mini 7 (2024)	8GB	116
iPad mini 8 (2026)	12GB	73 (before update)
iPad Air 8 (2026)	12GB	73 (before update)
iPad Pro 2020	6GB	73 (56 before update)
M1 iPad Pro 2021	8GB and 16GB	116 (26 before update), 211
M2 iPad Pro 2022	8GB and 16GB	116, 211
M4 iPad Pro 2024	8GB and 16GB	116, 211
M5 iPad Pro 2025	12GB and 16GB	150, 211

Looking at the layer count, it seems the iPad mini 7 has 8GB RAM.

Conclusion

The iPad mini 2026 is a decent upgrade in many ways over the previous 2024 model. The price has also increased, unfortunately from USD 499 (or USD 599 after the June 2026 price hike) to USD 699.

The 12GB RAM is nice, but the base model with 128GB storage is not going to be enough for drawing after installing whatever apps you need and accounting for files you store. So you're looking at another USD 100 to upgrade to 256GB storage. And there's Apple Pencil Pro which is USD 129. So the realistic total amount is USD 699 + 100 + 129 which is USD 928 (SGD 1190).

Just for comparison purposes, the Xiaomi Pad Mini with 8GB RAM, 256GB storage, and Xiaomi Focus Pen is SGD 674 (579 + 95), or USD 525. There are differences between the two tablets, of course, but it's a USD 402 price difference. Pen performance of the Xiaomi is quite good and I can recommend it easily for use as an ultra-portable sketchpad or notepad. The side button of the Xiaomi pen cannot be used by drawing apps though.

What's the real upgrade? The real upgrade is the increase in brightness, and because it's now using OLED, the extreme contrast also contributes to higher perceived brightness. This is a huge deal because the iPad mini 2024's advertised 500 nits is nowhere near 500 or even 400 nits in real life. Because the OLED display is now brighter, the tablet can be used more easily outdoors under bright conditions.

This is the tablet reflecting the cloudy sky. The fact you can still see the screen is fantastic. Viewing the display under direct sunlight is difficult as expected, but even the 1000 nits tandem OLED on the M4 iPad Pro will struggle, and the tablet will overheat very quickly.

The pen performance for drawing and writing is still fantastic. For the drawing experience, it really depends on whether you see the smaller display as a pro or con. The pro is that it's so small and easy to bring around. The con is that the screen is small and can be inconvenient to draw on.

Should you upgrade? If you already have an iPad mini, I don't recommend buying the new tablet to do what you can already do with your current tablet. Upgrading to the OLED display is only an upgrade if you have to use the tablet outdoors often. Because the price is so high, I would recommend the Xiaomi Pad Mini instead, unless you need to use iPad-only apps.

How about the iPad Air that's USD 50 more? If you're not sure whether you're into the small form factor, I think the iPad Air is the safer choice. If you're in a country with Apple's return policy, then you can try the iPad mini and return if that does not suit your usage.

Interesting review! The brighter OLED display and improved portability sound like significant upgrades, especially for artists who enjoy sketching on the go. However, a 60Hz refresh rate at this price is disappointing. Great detailed comparison! 👏📱🎨

Book Review: My Travels in Japan: A Comic Book Artist's Amazing Journey

I love travelogue journals and sketchbooks, and this is a good one.

Audry Nicklin is the author and she is an artist, illustrator and also writes books on knitting.

In this almost A5-sized 128-page hardcover book, she has documented her trip that covered several locations in Japan. She has went to Tokyo, Yokohama, Kyoto, Osaka, Hiroshima and many other places.

It's fun to read about what she saw and her experiences. She talked about culture, food, sights, people, including interaction with the locals, and animals at the deer park . There's much to read. I'm pretty sure the beautiful drawings were not drawn on location because there are so many drawings that would take ages to complete.

If you like travelogues and sketchbooks, this is another one to add to your collection.

This book was borrowed from Basheer Graphic Books for review purposes. You can order the book from them. Check with Basheer on Facebook.

The DIGIDRAW Turing 14 is a 13.3-inch pen display released in May 2026. Price at the time of review is USD 365 on Amazon, and at the time of writing there's a USD 91 discount to bring the price down to USD 274. A 2-year warranty is provided.

The Turing 14 is actually one of two pen displays from the company. The other is the larger Turing Pro 19 with a touchscreen. The company also sells pen tablets.

I've not heard of DIGIDRAW before until the company contacted me to ask if I'm interested to check out their new pen displays. Turns out the founder is actually part of the founding team of Huion, which is probably why these new products look rather polished as a first generation product.

Quick start guide

Design

Design of the pen display is clean and simple. There are no shortcut buttons by the sides.

The tablet is quite thin, and weighs 900g. This is a compact device that can be stored away easily, quickly, like a laptop.

The back is made with plastic, matte textured, and overall build quality is good and does not feel filmsy.

The back has two fold-out feet that can be deployed at 19 degrees. I would recommend a tablet stand with adjustable angles instead, such as the Parblo PR100 that I've been using for years, because the display has IPS or LCD glow that's visible unless you're looking directly from the front.

Two USB-C ports are located at the top left of the pen display. One's for the 3-to-1 cable and the other is for USB-C video. You can use either one, but there's no USB-C video cable included in the box.

The USB-C connector for the 3-to-1 cable has an extra extrusion to go into the hole beside the port and this makes the cable connection more secure, less likely to move when moving the pen display.

In case you don't know, a pen display is actually a monitor so it needs to be connected to a computer. The selling point here compared to portable tablets is you can use desktop software, apps from your computer.

If you use HDMI, you use the 3-to-1 cable and connect one USB-A to power, another USB-A to your computer so that the pen can be detected.

If you use USB-C video, you can use one cable that provides video, data and power. The pen display can be powered by the USB port of a laptop, but it's gonna draw the laptop battery much faster.

Power button's located at the top right and you can press and hold that to call up the OSD menu.

The OSD allows you to adjust display settings such as brightness, contrast, saturation, RGB, colour temperature and gamma.

Display

This pen display uses a 13.3-inch LCD with 2560 x 1600 resolution, 16:10 aspect ratio and 60Hz refresh rate. This is not a touchscreen

The display surface area is slightly smaller than A4 sized paper, and quite comparable to the 13-inch iPad Pro but of course the aspect ratio is different.

The display is already colour calibrated at the factory and average Delta E for sRGB is 0.62. Average Delta E is the variance between the input digital colour and the measured output colour. Anything less than 2 is good, less than 1 is fantastic.

I measured colour support for 100% sRGB, 89% AdobeRGB, 86% NTSC, 97% P3 and a maximum brightness of 183 nits out of the advertised 220 nits.

I wish the brightness could be higher but 183 nits is still sufficient for indoor use.

The visuals look sharp enough and pixelation is not noticeable.

There is IPS or LCD glow when the display is viewed from certain angles, so that's where having a tablet stand with adjustable angles will be very useful.

The display is laminated so there's almost no parallax gap between the pen tip and line beneath.

Anti-glare works well but when there's a strong and large light source, the diffused reflection can be bright and glaring. All matte surface will introduce some colour noise, anti-glare sparkle or gain to affect image quality, and all that is kept to a minimum here.

Driver

There are drivers for Windows and MacOS. Linux drivers are in development.

The driver is quite basic and provides adjustment for mapping, pen & cursor alignment, pressure sensitivity, pen button shortcuts and a virtual keyboard, a popup that can give you up to 24 customisable shortcuts. But if you have to use a pen button to call up the virtual keyboard, that's one pen button that cannot be assigned to something else.

INKBOARD
The company is providing this whiteboard software called InkBoard that you can download for free. This app works on Windows and Mac, however it only works with DigiDraw pen displays and pen tablets.

It's a software that lets you draw on top of your desktop, so this is good for teaching, for showing process. This could be good for digital tutors, marketers and IT support staff.

Watch this video below for a demo

Pen

The M5 Pen is well made. There's a big silicone grip that's comfortable to hold.

The pen has two customisable side buttons. Interestingly the two buttons are beneath the silicone grip so it's not possible for the buttons to break off. There's no eraser at the back.

The side buttons are almost flushed to the pen body so they are not easy to feel, and easy to press unintentionally.

The pen supports tilt and 16K levels of pressure sensitivity. The pen is not powered by battery so no charging is required.

Line tests

Line tests below were created with Medibang Paint Pro.

1. Thin lines can be drawn easily even with a thick brush selected. There's no diagonal line wobble.

2. Lines can taper smoothly and sharply.

3. Line transition from thin to thick and back is smooth. There's difficulty drawing a really thin line after a thick line.

4. You can create consistent line width by maintaining consistent pressure.

5. Dots can be drawn easily, and react to pressure.

6. No issues with cursor misalignment. Cursor is always directly under the pen tip even when pen is tilted very low, or pen tip is at the extreme left or right edges.

Tilt sensitivity works well.

This pen is accurate and sensitive. Performance is consistent and predictable.

Drawing experience

Since the pen performance is fantastic, the drawing experience is wonderful.

The matte glass surface feels nice to draw on. The matte glass surface is quite smooth, smoother than matte screen protectors, but I'm still able to get good control over the pen. The pen display only gets warm in a small localised area near the top middle section.

Main thing that affect drawing experience is probably the display size. While the display surface area is slightly smaller than A4-sized paper, when there are palettes on the left and right, the drawing area is halved.

13-inch is the smallest size for pen display that I will recommend so this size is still very usable. I wish the company would come out with 16-inch pen displays in the future to give people more options.

The 2560 x 1600 resolution makes visuals look sharp enough so 4K resolution is not needed. I appreciate the 16:10 aspect ratio very much because given the fixed width of the display, you get more vertical space, more pixels, hence more desktop space. 16:10 aspect ratio is more useful when the display is small.

Pressure sensitivity works great. Thin and thick lines can be drawn easily even with a thick brush selected. The pen can create very expressive lines.

The pen is definitely good enough for creating professional art.

Conclusion

The Turing 14 pen display looks good and works well. The pen is accurate and sensitive. Performance is consistent and predictable. Main downside or limitation is just the measured 183 nits maximum brightness but it's still sufficient for use indoors. Pricing seems competitive to other brands.

Review: Wildwood (2026)

Teoh Yi Chie — Wed, 04 Nov 2026 01:00:00 +0000

Review: Wildwood (2026)

I'm inspired to write my own review after reading many reviews of Wildwood online.

In case you don't know, Wildwood is a stop-motion fantasy film made by Laika Studios. In a world dominated by computers, technology, and now AI, running an animation studio that still creates stop-motion animation is brave. The company makes stop-motion films simply because it can, and because much of the funding comes from Phil Knight, co-founder of Nike, so it doesn't have to worry as much about making money. I mean that as a compliment, by the way.

If you haven't watched a Laika film before, I recommend that you do, even if it's just to appreciate the craftsmanship. The amount of effort put into creating this movie is incredible. It's mind-boggling to me that everything could have been animated in 3D, yet the company chose stop motion instead. Again, huge respect to the animators and their craft.

The story is just alright. It's not bad, but it isn't particularly strong either. I've not read the book that the story was based on, so I won't comment on how closely the film follows it, and that's not important anyway.

I also don't want to talk about the themes in the movie because they aren't the most important aspect.

I want to talk about scriptwriting. This movie doesn't have enough highs and lows. A good movie should have highs and lows. Not all good movies need dramatic highs and lows, sure. But when a movie lacks them, it's harder for the audience to become emotionally invested. I was definitely amazed by the visuals, but not by the story. I admire Prue for her determination to save her baby brother. Curtis, in my opinion, is a filler character who was added mainly to provide character development.

Highs and lows are important. Take the movie Hidden Figures from 2016. I could tell the movie was going to be great within the first five minutes. It gives you a low point and a high point early on, then throws in a surprise, and continues that pattern throughout. While I can no longer remember the exact plot, I can still remember how the movie made me feel. A film earns huge bonus points from me if it includes a surprise, twist, or something genuinely unexpected. Even the unexpected moments in Wildwood weren't mind-blowing. They felt more like, "Oh, so that's why she did that. Next."

Another thing that makes a good movie great is having relatable characters. The characters in Wildwood are fine. I just don't have much to say about them. By the way, the worst movie I've watched this year is Supergirl, where the main character is so unrelatable that if she died, no one would care.

I would still recommend that you watch Wildwood despite everything I've said. You can still admire the visuals, appreciate the craftsmanship, support the people behind the film, and maybe you'll enjoy the story more than I did.

5/5 for visuals. 3/5 for story.

Best portable tablets for drawing in 2026 from my reviews

Best portable tablets for drawing in 2026 from my reviews

2025 and 2026 have been incredible for artists looking for portable drawing tablets. Android tablets are finally ditching USI pens and iPads are... unfortunately getting more expensive -- so, okay, not everything is great.

I've been drawing on portable tablets for years, written too many reviews, and now I'm writing the latest buying guide based on my experience.

For this buying guide, information has been condensed down to main pros and cons. I'll only talk about things that matter to drawing, so I won't cover things like how the speakers sound, whether there's an IP rating, and the physical design unless something is terribly wrong.

Prices listed are current prices that I've found on Amazon. If you want even lower prices, you'll have to look for secondhand or refurbished units.

Links are either to my full reviews, or affiliate links.

Do me a favour. If you intend to buy any tablets, make your purchase through the affiliate links to support my blog and the work I do. I earn some commission but at no extra cost to you. It's your support that allows me to review the countless tablets over the years.

Tablets recommendation by size

Here's a quick recommendation of tablets by size before we move on the price groups.

If you want something small from 8 to 10-inch, there aren't many good options. The best mini tablet with good pen support is the expensive iPad mini -- the generation does not matter as long as it supports Apple Pencil. I enjoy drawing on the Xiaomi Pad Mini too because it's just a better tablet in many ways over the iPad mini, but the pen performance isn't as good. Huion Note E (X50) has good pen performance but the specifications aren't that good.

For 10 to 12-inch, that would either be the Wacom MovinkPad 11 or Huion Kamvas Pad 12. I may prefer the Huion slightly as the processor is better and there's more storage, but the tablet is heavier and thicker which isn't an issue if the usage is mostly indoors.

For 13-inch or larger sizes, I recommend the XPPen Magic Pro 13 and Wacom MovinkPad Pro 14. The Samsung Galaxy tablets are great but I don't like the glossy, reflective display and the new hexagonal S Pen. iPad Pros are great but they are just overpriced compared to the XPPen and Wacom. And if you are thinking of getting the iPad Air, just go with the XPPen which will provide more value for money.

USD 200 - 400

At this price point, tablets usually have weak processors which may affect longevity.

Ugee ArtPlay Pad (USD 379 on Amazon | Ugee store) is what I would recommend. This tablet is designed for kids and beginners.

I usually recommend the 10.9-inch Samsung Tab S10 Lite as the budget option but the Ugee ArtPlay Pad is probably the better option this time as it has a matte glass display, and pen performance is good.

Main pros and cons at a glance
+ Big 12-inch matte glass display
+ Sensitive pen
+ 6GB RAM and 256GB storage for the price
- Slight diagonal line wobble and jitter
- Auto-brightness too sensitive
- Android OS 14 with no info on future OS updates
- Tilt sensitivity not consistent
- MediaTek Helio G99 processor may not have longevity

If you want the best pen performance at a budget price, go with the Samsung Tab S10 Lite or Huion Note E (X50).

Huion Note E (X50) (USD 369 on Amazon | Huion store) is actually designed for reading and note taking, but since it has Google Play Store, you can install and use drawing apps too.

Main pros and cons at a glance
+ 8.4-inch size is portable
+ Matte glass surface
+ Pressure sensitivity works well
+ Android 15 with Google Play Store
- 300 nits display isn't bright enough for outdoor use
- Weak processor
- 6GB RAM but only 128GB storage without microSD card slot
- Tilt does not work well due to the pen display

USD 400 - 600

This is where you can get noticeably better drawing tablets:

Huion Kamvas Pad 12 - USD 499 (review | Huion store | Amazon)
Wacom MovinkPad 11 - USD 499 (review | Amazon)
XPPen Magic Drawing Pad 2025 - USD 499 (review | XPPen store | Amazon)
Apple iPad 2025 with Apple Pencil - USD 499

It's got to be between the Wacom MovinkPad 11 and Huion Kamvas Pad 12.

With the Wacom, you get a better pen. The Huion pen has good pressure support, but tilt sensitivity is inconsistent and the pen button gets pressed too easily.

Both tablets have 8GB RAM. Huion has 256GB storage and microSD card slot vs 128GB of Wacom. Huion's processor is also more powerful. There's the occasional sluggishness with the Wacom.

I prefer Huion for the better overall tablet performance, but I'll have to make do with not using tilt (not a big deal) and the lousy side button. It is possible to buy other Huion X4 pens to use with this tablet.

With USD 499, you can also get the iPad 2025 with Apple Pencil. But you'll be drawing on a glossy non-laminated display. Specs are Apple A16, 6GB RAM, 128GB storage.

Between the Huion and iPad, I prefer Huion because the matte glass surface is quite satisfying to draw on.

It is possible to get the Samsung Tab S10 FE which is USD 549 if you don't mind drawing on a glossy, reflective display.

USD 600 - 800

The Apple M4 iPad Air with 256GB storage is USD 849 before adding Apple Pencil, so that's significantly higher than this price range.

You may be able to find the Samsung Tab S11 released in 2025 within this price range. It's good if you don't mind the glossy reflective display.

The XPPen Magic Pro 13 is the best choice here. Original retail price is USD 1000, but if you can get 20% off with my coupon code TEOHMAGIC20 when used on the XPPen online store.

This tablet has a big, vibrant, sharp and bright matte glass display. Tablet performance is smooth and responsive. Pen has good support for pressure and tilt. It runs on Android 16 with Google Play Store. There's also the pen display mode which works really well. There's 8GB RAM with 256GB storage and a microSD card slot.

This tablet is better than the iPad Air in many ways, at a lower price. Get the iPad Air only if you need iPad-only apps. In terms of value for money, the XPPen Magic Pro 13 wins hands down.

USD 800 - 1000

The 11-inch Apple M4 iPad Air with 12GB RAM 256GB storage and Apple Pencil Pro is priced at USD 978. This is a much better tablet than the base model iPad, but it's also significantly more expensive.

If you have USD 900+ to spend, I still recommend the XPPen Magic Pro 13 unless you need iPad-only apps.

Instead of the iPad Air, I recommend the Samsung Tab S11 instead which is a better tablet in many ways than the iPad Air.

The Samsung has an 11-inch 1000 nits OLED display with 120Hz refresh rate, but it's glossy without anti-reflective coating. And I don't like the physical design of the included S Pen. Apple Pencil Pro has barrel rotation which is a functional difference for drawing.

The iPad Air is a good tablet, but the competition is tough from competitors that offer more at same or lower price.

USD 1000 - 1200

The Wacom MovinkPad Pro 14 is an easy and clear choice. This is now selling at USD 1099 on Amazon.

The 14-inch OLED 120Hz matte glass display looks amazing. Pen performance is wonderful. Drawing experience is satisfying. And the tablet is quite thin and light for its size.

It may not have as many features compared to the high end Samsung Galaxy tablets or the Apple iPad Pros, but all the features designed for artists work great. The processor is powerful so this can last for many years. Android OS 17 will be coming in 2027.

Above USD 1200

The best drawing tablets in my opinion are the Wacom MovinkPad Pro 14 and XPPen Magic Pro 13. They provide incredible value for money.

If you can get those at a lower price, the only reason to buy more expensive tablets is for specific features that you need that's lacking from those two tablets.

Samsung Tab S12 series is great but Samsung removed the anti-reflective coating for the Ultra tablets and that's just a downgrade.

The overpriced M4 and M5 iPad Pros are good if you need to use the tablets in bright outdoor conditions. The tandem OLED's main selling point for me is the 1000 nits brightness. If you want the nano texture glass, you have to buy overpriced storage and then pay more for the matte glass. The iPad Pros are seriously overpriced. You're better off buying refurbished but even those are expensive.

Conclusion

Since there are so many Android tablets being released in 2025 and 2026, I've actually spent more time drawing on Android tablets than on iPads.

Advantage of iPad is iPadOS is versatile. For creatives, there are graphic design apps that handle layout, typography and vector. For drawing purposes, Android tablets are on par. When I draw on Android tablets, I do not miss the iPad, and I have an M4 iPad Pro with nano texture by the way.

With Wacom and XPPen releasing tablets that are powerful and come with fantastic pen performance, I don't think you'll be missing out if you get an Android tablet for drawing. There are so many good options to choose from today, compared to 1 or 2 years ago.

Hi Teoh,

this is kind of unrelated question to this post, sorry about that, but I don't know who else to ask:(
I am thinking about buying Kamvas Pro 19 that you've reviewed in the past. Do you think it could work with Parblo PR100 stand that you've also recommended? Or would I need something else?

Best,
