Hello! Of course! I'm currently using an older Huion Inspiroy tablet that was relatively cheap (like $125-175 at the time) and it suits me just fine; 5 years+ ongoing now.

My first tablet was a Wacom bamboo pen & touch (around $60-80 range?), which was a pretty puny one, but Wacom tablets do have better pressure sensitivity and I only traded it for my Huion due to size + budget.

I'd consider some points like what size you usually enjoy drawing at, if you use a lot of shortcut keys, if you mind how pens charge (mine charges via usb cord which is a little annoying, others may be battery powered, etc). If possible, I'd go into a store with sample testers out on display and play around on one to get a feel for the surfaces.

If you want to be mobile and put pen to surface, the iPad Pro with Procreate app is a solid option if you'd like to also use the iPad for other things besides drawing.

Also a general tip for using them is making sure to set your pen pressure so that you aren't pressing super hard into the surface, as that'll hurt your wrist, run down the nibs very fast, and require more replacements.
