Beginner standalone tablets

Top choices

Wacom MovinkPad 11 (my notes) - Best drawing experience. Optimized for getting your sketches captured when the inspiration strikes. Performance is mid.
Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 FE (My notes ) - this has a decent drawing experience, and also works well as an iPad-like device. Good all around Android tablet with decent performance for its cost.
Apple iPad - Any Apple iPad that works with the Apple Pencil 2 (My notes) . You will have the buy the Apple Pencil 2 separately. It does NOT come with the iPad.

Samsung S6 LITE 2024 edition - not powerful but decent drawing experience. Good starter tablet for a child.
