So.. My tablet broke today... (Patreon)

I mostly use the Intuos 4 instead because it feels more responsive in my opinion, and the pen also feel a lot smoother (although this is partly because I draw so much it makes the surface of the tablet super smooth/shiny to a point it reflects…)

I actually got an Intuos Pro as a backup though, got it 2 years ago when it was on sale at my university for 100US dollar cheaper, and since I fear my Intuos 4 might die soon so I decided to get it.

Today was just another normal day where I try sketch a new drawing, but suddenly the zooming wheel stopped responding. I unpluged and re plug in the usb for the tablet but it still won’t work. Then I realized a small bulge around the lower left of the drawing area of the tablet, so I unpluged it and gave it a check. As I lifted it up I realized the bottom of the tablet was boiling hot, the bulge area also gave off a burning plastic smell. It was then I realized the tablet simply got too old, and a small part inside got overheat then start burning inside…

I got this tablet when I was 17, as a birthday present when I first got into my second highschool. Been using this tablet for 8 years now and there is so much memories with this tablet… it can now rest and let the new Intuos Pro take his place… Goodbye friend..
