# Recommendations

Below are tablets I would personally recommend separated by device type. These recommendations are centered around using the tablets for **drawing**.

* If you are new to drawing tablets, read the [Beginner's guide to drawing tablets](/drawtab/basics/beginners-guide.md) which has it own [Beginner recommendations](/drawtab/recs/scenario-recs/beginner-recs.md).
* If you are want to learn more about how to decide what you need (type, size, specs), read the [Drawing tablet buying guide](/drawtab/buying.md).
* Check out the [2025 Drawing tablet tier list](/drawtab/recs/comparisons/2025-drawtab-tier-list.md) to see how these tablets and their pens rank against each other.
