Pen Display Tablets have typically been a professional's tool. While incredibly useful and precise, they have usually been quite large, sometimes even mounted to a workstation. In the last few years, portable options, like the $749 Wacom Movink 13, have become increasingly more viable for both hobbyists and professionals alike.
Just last month, Xencelabs announced a new "industry first" $1,249 4K OLED Pen Display targeted at professional digital creatives requiring quality and portability. The tablet has compelling features and big ambitions. Can it live up to these lofty goals?

When Razer announced the "mid-2021" Blade 15 Advanced back in May, it seemed like a standard refresh. The company swapped out the 10th-Gen Intel CPUs in the "early-2021" model for 11th-Gen processors and added a new anti-fingerprint coating to the chassis. No big deal, right? Wrong -- that 11th-Gen processor has allowed Razer to upgrade just about everything under the hood of the latest Advanced model, leading to a huge performance uplift.
Apple is adjusting its marketing in the United Kingdom following an investigation by the country's Advertising Standards Authority (ASA). The investigation called into question language that Apple used that stated the Pro Display XDR was "far beyond HDR," among other claims.
Don’t think of the Sony Xperia Pro as another run-of-the-mill attempt at relevance in the consumer smartphone market. That’s not who this phone is for, and that becomes patently obvious just taking it out of the box.
When Apple unveiled the Pro Display XDR in June of 2019, I'll admit that I drank the cool-aid in big refreshing gulps.

But one year and 7 months later, as I sit staring at my very own review unit, I've had to temper my enthusiasm with a small dose of reality.
