>>3895069I am still using an Intuos 3 (before they changed their naming scheme), which I think is a decade and a half old now. Still works perfectly fine. This durability and reliability has been Wacom's advantage.
But we're getting to a point now where the other brands offer comparable performance at such a low price, that they're worth getting even if they only last 2 or 3 years. Given how quickly technology is advancing, you may not want to hold onto a tablet for 10 years like I did. To sum up, you're still paying a premium for Wacom's build quality, but that might not be as important anymore unless you're looking at the absolute highest end of tablets.
I've played around with the Huion and the XP-Pens, and they're all perfectly fine. I don't know how long they'd last, but performance-wise they are competitive.
