Though the Artist 16 (2nd gen) is one of the cheaper pen displays on the market, you wouldn't know. The build quality and design of the Artist 16 (2nd gen) is excellent, particularly at this price-point (Image credit: Future) It's not as bad as past XP-Pen drivers, and is a distinct step-up over previous tablets from this brand, but it's not as robust as Wacom, for example.

Overall the experience is good, but for ChromeOS users in particular it could be better, particularly as there are some outstanding high-spec Chromebooks around now, and there are still some issues with a driver that can feel temperamental. What the Artist 16 (2nd gen) does come packaged with are three regional plugs for charging – it's multi-pronged cable also features a USB-A for charging via your computer – and the usual additions of a glove to keep the screen scratch free and spare nibs for the stylus. But, many will bemoan the lack of a stand.

Personally, I don't mind scribbling on a flat surface and the Artist 16 (2nd gen) is light and nicely proportioned so you can use on your lap from the sofa. It seems like a running theme with XP-Pen in order to keep down the initial cost. One other omission, and something we raised in our Innovator 16 review from last year, is the lack of a stand that comes with this 2nd generation update. If you need to catch up on how we review, read our how we test guide. For this review I spent two months with this pen display, creating digital art in ArtRage Vitae and Rebelle 5. Yet, read on to discover why the XP-Pen Artist 16 (2nd gen) is still an excellent and affordable tablet that delivers when it's up and running. The biggest issue is not really with what you get in the box but with what is omitted – you'll need to buy the stand and USB-C to USB-C cable for Android and ChromeOS use separately. It's good, and you can read more about why below.īut it also has a few niggles, most come with the setup and calibration that can feel like rolling dice to get the required results.

While the Artist 16 (2nd gen) comes in at a lower price than many similar pen displays, it doesn't skimp on the tech.
