The video introduces the UGEE M708 pen tablet, highlighting UGEE as a brand offering durable and affordable products for digital drawing, note-taking, and online teaching. It's compared to brands like Huion, Wacom, and XP-Pen.
The package includes the UGEE M708 pen tablet, a battery-free stylus, a pen stand, eight replacement nibs with a nib remover, a USB cable, a glove, a quick guide, and a warranty card. The reviewer appreciates the free glove and pen stand.
The UGEE M708 is the largest pen tablet the reviewer owns, with overall dimensions of 359x210x8mm and an active area of 10x6 inches. While large, offering a convenient drawing surface, it might be less portable. The active area is mapped, and the express keys on the left are glossy. It features an indicator light, a micro USB port, and four rubber feet for grip. It's only available in black.
The tablet has 8 programmable express keys, which can be inconsistent in their functionality, sometimes not working as expected. This issue might vary across devices and operating systems. The reviewer suggests using keyboard shortcuts as an alternative.
The battery-free pen is similar to XP-Pen's, with customizable buttons. It boasts a pen resolution of 5080 LPI, 8192 levels of pressure sensitivity, and 60-degree tilt support, ensuring detailed artwork. The sensing height is 10mm. Replacement nibs and a remover are stored in the pen stand.
The tablet supports left-handed mode, which can be adjusted in the settings. It's compatible with Windows 7+, Mac OS 10.10+, Chrome OS 88+, and Linux. Notably, it also works well with Android phones, despite Android not being officially listed.
The UGEE M708 offers good quality at an affordable price. While the inconsistency of express keys is a drawback, the tablet performs well with various note-taking apps like GoodNotes, Notability, NoteShelf, and ZoomNotes, and drawing apps such as Medibang, Krita, and SketchBook.
