I have the 12.2 edition which costs way more than the price range of the OP but it's such a fantastic experience. I use it for everything but coding. I tried a Wacom pad and pen with my desktop but I really disliked it. I much prefer seeing what I write and myself writing it at the same time. My brain didn't like the disconnect of looking at a monitor while drawing on a pad. It made my handwriting much worse.
