Review: Huion Kamvas Pro 13 (2.5K)
This review is in some ways a follow up of our review of the Kamvas 13 (which you can still win, by the way - see below). Like the Kamvas 13, the Kamvas Pro 13 (2.5K) is a portable, 13.3 inch drawing tablet that needs to be plugged to your computer with a 3-in1 cable or with just a USB-c to USB-c cable. The Kamvas 13 currently retails for € 235 in Europe, while the Kamvas Pro 13 (2.5K) will set you back € 449. The main question for this review, then, is if the Kamvas Pro 13 is worth the extra money?
Win the Huion Kamvas 13!
A couple of months ago we reviewed the Huion Kamvas 13. Since it's now sitting on a shelf, we intend to give it away to a creative individual. How to get it? Simple; just send us an email explaining why you’d like to own the Kamvas 13 and for what particular project (in the realm of political cartoons and/or comics journalism) you intend to use it.
