Amazon has the HUION KAMVAS Pro 12 Drawing Display Tablet on sale for $199 when you "clip" the $30.00 coupon. Item is sold by the official HUION seller account, shipped by Amazon.
Warning: there is another version being sold by "Huion" (not all caps) for $2 less, but the seller has far fewer ratings than the official page and the location address differs (China vs Delaware). Uncertain whether products sold by them would be warrantied, so check the "Sold By" carefully. Adding to the cart from seller HUION triggers an extended warranty offer, whereas adding from seller Huion does not.

HUION tablets are great cheap alternatives, but they don't work for linux which is their only major downside.
Prior to me becoming a teacher, I did product and portrait retouching on a Wacom tablet.
A great alternative to to this tablet is Parblo [amazon.com] too. Good luck.
Some advantages to a display tablet like this one:
Runs off your computer, thus can ran computer-based software like full Adobe Photoshop and other drawing software. Typically performs better.
The pen is made specifically for drawing and would normally have more drawing support (different nib textures, pen pressure, tilt controls, eraser end, buttons). Apple pencil has some of these features but is costly itself (about half the price of this tablet).
Etched/laminated glass creates a more tactile surface, mimicking paper. IPads and android tablets are smooth glass, which feels slick to draw on (less control). You can, however, use a matte screen protector.
Color accuracy is usually better (ipads/android tablets normally saturate their displays).
On-display buttons allow for customization of common drawing shortcuts (undo, cropping, etc). The tactile sensory is better than on-screen shortcuts.
Disadvantages:
Runs off your computer thus cannot be standalone and portable (unless used with a laptop, but you'll have a bunch of wires everywhere). Your computer also has to be decently spec'd if you want the tablet to perform well.
Software can be tricky, even with higher-end brands like Wacom.
Takes up more desk space, especially with wires.

Here's the answer:
Unless there's a program that is only available on your PC vs a tablet OR if the tablet/mobile version of a program is severely handicapped vs. the desktop equivalent, there's really no huge reason not to spend more to get an all inclusive tablet.
The smoothness of the screen vs. the feel of a Wacom can someone be mitigated with a screen laminate called 'paperlike' which I've been using. It feels much better but does add a bit of matte finish to the screen so that nice iPad retina is diminished somewhat due to it.
Otherwise the freedom of being able to take the drawing pad and not have a laptop tied to it is too much of an advantage to get a drawing tablet such as this.
Or if the cost is dramatically different and you need something. Like someone here mentioned, the cost of an Apple Pencil is almost the price of this product, so if you're on a budget and can be on with being tethered to a desktop/laptop then this may be a good solution but if you can get a tablet with a good stylus (such as the Apple Pencil) then I say go for a tablet and skip this.
Would be interested in knowing this as well.

So I guess the real question is whether you're willing to sacrifice the other good aspects of the pro model and settle for a tried & tested pen with years of solid Amazon reviews [amazon.com], or be an early adopter of new tech while sacrificing some of the perks in the tablet itself. Personally, I'll be waiting to see if they add support for the new pen across more tablets with firmware updates. If it never comes to the 12, oh well, but if it does, I can pick one up for $50 (or less...it's 20% off right now), provided it seems worth it once reviews start rolling in to show whether it lives up to HUION's hype.

Here's a picture she just started (2nd time using a drawing tablet). She's almost 11 yrs old and picked up using this very quickly. She drew it on FireAlpaca and now learning to use it on PhotoShop CS6

however specifically for 3d and some more intense 2d workflows I prefer the pens that come with wacom and huion type screens, as they have side buttons that function as mouse buttons.
Brad Colebow on youtube reviews these non wacom drawing screens often.

Lack of pen tilt is an immediate deal breaker for the type of art I do, but for those who don't need it, this is definitely a good deal.

Mixed feelings here. I have a surface pro and while I love it, there are some drawbacks. The biggest being that for decent performance, you'll need to be looking into one of the higher spec surfaces... And they are expensive! Since there's no upgrading them, you're stuck with what you have I would wager you can get this tablet and a laptop with similar specifications for the same price. People have already mentioned the slippery screen, but I really miss the physical buttons on my intuos tablet. Plus, the screen size can be limiting, and it gets pretty warm while drawing on it. If you're serious, it's nice to have multiple monitors so you can have references up, zoomed views, etc.
