Huion Inspiroy 2
Score: 82/100Rankings
The Artisul SP1603 delivers a slim 15.6-inch full-laminated display with 90% Adobe RGB coverage, 8192 pressure levels, tilt support and 14 shortcut keys. Modest brightness and driver quirks temper its otherwise strong feature set. Best for budget-conscious artists who want a portable, feature-rich pen display.
The Huion Inspiroy 2 Large offers a generous active area and high-precision pen features, making it ideal for detailed desktop artwork. Its main drawbacks are the lack of touch input and wireless connectivity. Best suited for artists who prioritize canvas size and precision over portability.

YouTube and other professional reviewers praise the SP1603 for its remarkably slim 9 mm profile, responsive battery-free P77 pen with tilt, and the extensive set of 14 shortcut keys plus a radial dial that together boost creative workflow. The full-laminated screen is also highlighted for reduced parallax, though reviewers note the stand feels basic and the brightness is modest compared with pricier rivals.
Everyday users love the tablet's portability, thin design, and lag-free pen performance, often calling it a solid budget choice for beginners and hobbyists. Recurring complaints focus on Windows driver quirks, a less robust stand, and the added bulk of side keys, while some feel the 1080p panel and 220 cd/m² brightness fall short for professional color work.
Professional reviewers have not published detailed evaluations; the official specifications emphasize the PenTech 3.0 upgrade for lag-free precision, high pressure sensitivity and extensive shortcut keys, positioning the tablet as a high-precision, value-focused option.
While no direct user reviews were found, the product messaging highlights common praise for the spacious canvas, battery-free stylus comfort and multi-OS compatibility, with recurring concerns about the lack of touch input and wired-only connectivity.
