XP-Pen Magic Drawing Pad GEN2 (MDP1221) notes

Basics

• Model number MDP1221

• Note this is the "GEN2" of the Magic Drawing Pad

• OS: Android 14

Key NEW features that GEN1 doesn't have

• Operating system: Android 14

  • GEN1 came with Android 12

• DP-Alt Mode

  • This means you can use the device as External/Secondary monitor

  • GEN1 did not have this feature

• Using it as as a pen display

  • From product page "The Magic Drawing Pad supports the DP-IN function via its Type-C port, allowing it to act as a secondary screen for your laptop. Paired with the X3 Pro Pencil, it enables reverse control, making it easy to take notes, draw."

  • I have not fully tested this so it is unclear to what extent this is true

  • GEN1 was not capable of this at all
