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.

What if I'm an art teacher and have been drawing for a while? We have a bunch of these Intuos models that sit unused. A previous teacher ordered them and they didn't get much use. Pens are included. I think my neck would appreciate less strain. I'm 44 and have had some whiplash accidents in the past. I was thinking I might appreciate the pressure sensitivity more on the newer units.
Helpful vid, thanks.
Don't worry about pressure levels too much. Even the highest resolution (retina) screens have have less than 500 pixels per inch. Standard displays have 96. Brushes don't usually vary that much in size, this means the pressure resolution is almost always sub-pixel. This means a color blends with a neighbor pixels. Even a very old pen precision of 512 would cause subpixel rendering difference from one pressure step to the next since the pen pressure resolution is almost always less than a pixel difference (on almost all brushes).
High pressure levels are only needed for professionals that need (feel they need) sub pixel blending that is as precise as possible. I would challenge someone to show me that anyone could notice the difference in step up and down in pressure of a 512 vs a 4000 level pen
Even more the 15.6" version of the XP-Pen is only about $50 more than this.

I don't think this Huion would be very valuable to her right now because of the lac of portability. I like the idea of being able to sketch wherever she is rather than be tied to a computer.
TIA
One thing that makes me nervous about these Chinese drawing tablets: They have some really shady practices when it comes to directing/censoring reviewers, so I hope I'm getting something durable/problem free. Can't pay for a Cintiq.
Tried the Wacom Intuous 3 today at school. It was a bit to archaic for me, even if the drivers I downloaded were a good match.
