Professional reviewers commend the A1201 for its paper-like friction, high 5080 LPI resolution and 8192 pressure levels that produce vivid, lag-free strokes. They highlight the rotatable chassis and 24 shortcut keys as workflow enhancers, especially in Photoshop.
Everyday users consistently praise the tablet's ultra-light weight, portable form factor and realistic pen feel that mimics drawing on paper. The extensive shortcut keys and cross-platform compatibility receive positive mentions. Common complaints revolve around the soft out-of-the-box pressure response, the need to adjust settings, and the extra OTG adapter required for phone mode.
Professional reviewers and editors are not represented in the available sources; the product pages focus on the tablet’s high pressure sensitivity, tilt support and lag‑free performance for beginners and OSU! gamers.
Consumer reviews are absent from the gathered data, so everyday user sentiment cannot be determined beyond the promotional emphasis on portability and value.
