For context, Huion drivers installed with no other tablet drivers on a relatively fresh install of Windows were very prone to crashing and giving “phantom” inputs in my experience.
Saying that a Bamboo used to be $150 years ago isn’t really relevant to the fact that there are solid alternatives at $200-ish price point right now from XP Pen. Drivers from XP Pen weren’t very feature-filled compared to Wacom, but at least they didn’t crash and give incorrect inputs randomly on top of the hardware having much better build quality than what I got from Huion. Easiest swap of my life – right now there’s nothing I can really recommend from Huion having tried both.

there are some good ones for like 250 dollars like this one. It’s 12 inches big so it won’t take much space.

as a beginner there’s value in keeping it cheap. there are cheaper tablets available. If you are used to looking at a monitor while drawing on a tablet, go for it. however if you want a screen you can get an XP pen display for cheaper than a Wacom tablet. The Wacom Intuos pro is $380 on amazon. Wacom’s 13inch (Wacom One) 1080p display is 20 bucks more. its not 4k and lacks touch features, but you can get savvy with learning key commands with your non drawing hand and keyboard. the XP Pen artist Pro is 300. Feature set is very similar. Wacom Pen just feel better. hard to describe for me. Other makers are closing the gap. i linked the XP pen Artist pro 12 below https://www.amazon.com/XP-PEN-Artist12-Pro-Full-Laminated-Battery-Free/dp/B07VZF7ZC9/ref=sxin_7_ac_d_rm?ac_md=2-1-eHAgcGVuIGFydGlzdCAxMg%3D%3D-ac_d_rm&cv_ct_cx=xp+pen&dchild=1&keywords=xp+pen&pd_rd_i=B07VZF7ZC9&pd_rd_r=f99dc645-6c6c-4be8-b737-702bdd22352c&pd_rd_w=E9o85&pd_rd_wg=zXvTW&pf_rd_p=165462b8-b004-445b-8c70-cf9e9e805494&pf_rd_r=SVQV1R9FSZJZ3PNQYWEJ&psc=1&qid=1591475258&sr=1-2-12d4272d-8adb-4121-8624-135149aa9081
