Just received my first Huion tablet (1060p new). Very easy to install and use, much better than my old Wacom Pen & Touch I had before. Works in the serifs suite and in Adobe PS/LR. Thanks for mentioned the Huion produkt. 
 

Yes I am using it with Affinity Designer. I have mapped the buttons on the tablet to Affinity actions which makes using the tablet  very efficient. Other than that just load the drivers, plug it in and it works with AD.
Do be aware when you are using the brush or pen tool that you can select the Controller button in the top context menu and select "Pressure" or "Velocity" etc to decide how AD will interpret the movements or pressure of the pen. Just a feature that is not obvious if you are coming from a mouse.
I can say after using it for a day that a tablet is a HUGE improvement over a mouse. So I have an interest in learning to draw. I am no longer confined to making drawings using the geometric shape tools. I followed some advice from a Youtuber to prctice drawing circles and lines on a tablet to improve skill and just after a couple hours of doing this I can say that it does improve your dexterity.
You can use the tablet and pen for controlling your computer as well. The pen is basically recognized as mouse input when you are not i a graphics program.

Very good points, but still too expensive!

Just today I received a Huion H1060p for my 2014 Mac Air. It is my first time with a tablet. I followed other recommendations and Huion seems to have a good rep.
Installation was quick and easy. So far it seems to work well. But it will take some time to get used to using a pen as an input instead of a mouse. 
Sorry I cannot provide any comparison to other tablets but it seems to work fine on an older Air

This argument is fine.
It has two sides: A graphic Tablet is cheaper, but dedicated to just this job. This job it does well, although tests I have read say the smaller (and cheaper) ones are quite restricted.
An iPad is more expensive, but multi purpose. It can serve as a 2nd Monitor as well (as I do when on my road warrior setup). Since the cheaper ones do support the pencil as well, it must not be a 4-digit-Pro model any longer.

My name is Marie and I just downloaded Affinity Designer and Publisher about a month ago. I'm a former AutoCad, Adobe and Corel user, though wanted to give this a chance. So far, it's amazing but I am still learning so I will have lots of newbie questions I am sure!
