The 2019 Hong Kong Electronics Fair (Spring Edition) is a huge show. Among the many exhibitors is Huion:
We try out Expresii on the new Huion Kanvas Pro 12, which supports pen tilt sensing. The device looks really nice. However, the glass surface is a bit too slippery to my liking. We also found a few issues: the touch stripe doesn't work with Expresii out of the box, and the pen tilt angle is sometimes off. We have informed Huion about these and hopefully things would be improved. As always, we will work with them if they need more feedback from us.
And in case you wonder: the laptop used was a Huawei Honor MagicBook with AMD 2500U & Vega 8 GPU. It ran Expresii at around 60 FPS, with screen being Full-HD. See a review of the machine here:

The AMD model is cheaper than the Intel + Nvidia MX150 model, but is only about half as fast for GPU performance.

Meeting PiPO's Owner
We also visited PiPO's booth. Glad to have a chance to talk to Ben Lai, the owner of PiPO. He is kind to share his views and offer advice on the Chinese market. Note that we used PiPO's US$150 W5 back in 2014 to demo Expresii.

We also had a chance to try out Expresii on some of their devices. Unfortunately, we are not able to even read the pen pressure on their 2-in-1 tablet device with Celeron CPU. On their Atom-powered device (shown below), we are able to get pen pressure but the responsiveness is not the best. PiPO now switched to using Active pen instead of EMR technology as in the W5.
