I would totally recommend the Artisul for those who want to start using screen drawing tablet for the first time :D
The price is half of the Cintiq 13HD. Artisul got more buttons and there's a rocker ring that rotates. Feels real nice for zooming in your drawing software.
Although, the Artisul pen does feel way lighter than the Cintiq's. I can say that the screen does feel different than the Cintiq I'm using currently. I don't know how to say this but let's just say if you have a hard type pressure drawing method, the Artisul gonna break first.
Overall, it's cheaper and got more express keys :D
