Kuuube's Tablet Buying Guide
2
All tablets on their respective lists are listed in order of best to worst raw performance. In cases of considerable tradeoffs in specs, the tablet with a higher Price/Performance Ranking will be placed higher. For tablets with a range of Targeted Prices, the average of that range is used for the Price/Performance Ranking.
3
Each category's Price/Performance rankings are separate. Tablets with the same Price/Performance in different categories are not equal. Refer to the Performance Ranking and other specs when comparing between categories.
4
Check the Targeted Price of tablets before buying. Secondhand options and some brand new options may be wildly more or less expensive than the Targeted Price. These differences can cause the price to performance ratings to change dramatically.
5
Check tablet sizing before you buy. Most players will be best with small size. Price to performance assumes you will use an area larger than smaller tablets. Do not buy a medium or large tablet if you do not need that area size.
6
If you wrap your pen, apply grip tape covering the pen's button rocker/cover, or make similar modifications, you must remove the button rocker/cover first. Issues that could occur from improper modifications are not noted in this guide.
