Parblo Coast10 10.1″ Review In Few Words (Mini Review)
Parblo Coast10 10.1″ can be a good pen display for a hobbyist or someone looking for a cheap pen display. I don’t think it is good for professional work, giving the support level Parblo offers. But it could work great for you very well if you are willing to take a risk. To be fair, it tried to do something good, giving how it doesn’t require you to plug it to a wall, which makes it as portable as a regular graphics tablet, and how the pen that doesn’t require a battery to work. Also, bear in mind that the instruction manual for Parblo Coast10 10.1″ is not very goods, the English in it is bad. But it contains a lot of good information at least.

Parblo Coast10 10.1″ has a screen Resolution of 1280 X 800, and screen size of 10.1. While the resolution is kinda low, it is good giving the small size of Parblo Coast10 10.1″. Since high resolution makes icons & everything on the screen look smaller.
The screen has a glare in it, which mean depending on where you are sitting, light will reflect off it, making it hard to see what is on the screen, something that is not good for a portable device like Parblo Coast10 10.1″.
