this is just a general question. Any opinions on wacom’s movink 14 pro tablet?
I’ve seen a number of posts from Movink users. Here are a couple of links. You’ll find even more using the search bar at the upper right. Since these members are actively using the same equipment, you might find some helpful info in these:

I’ve had my movinkpad 14 pro for about a week (I assume you mean the android tablet and not the movink pendisplay? They confusingly named them almost the same thing).
I love the drawing experience on it, and with Krita 5.3 the pen buttons can get configured too. I’ve set them to color sampling, brush-size changing and toggle pop-up. Eraser as a one finger drag and undo remaining two finger tap. I removed all one finger tap gestures to help with palm rejection (don’t know if that was necessary on the movinkpad, but it helped on the xp-pen notebook so I did it by default).
With a docker box I can have my workspace without any dockers and use all of that screen - though it’s not really necessary since it has space enough.
One thing that does annoy me is that I can’t set it to wake up by tapping on it with the pen - without launching wacoms sketch program (which adds extra steps before I can unlock and go to Krita). It’s either on + wacom canvas or off completely. So I have to wake it with the power button. Overall I also feel like the android OS is limiting my ability to configure stuff.. like I can’t really set up priorities for the apps or make exceptions.. I feel like it’s made to not let me adjust anything. Not the least the whole thing that wacom won’t offer any setting for those three buttons - considering how much part of the drawing salespoint they are I find that really weird. Well, Krita solved that so it’s not really a problem, but at the price point I realy think they should have their own settings for them.
But all that is minor stuff. Also, I’m not very experienced with android tablets, and I’m not used to more expensive tablets at all… I find the movinkpad pro to be snappy and lovely to work with overall, but I don’t know how the user experiense is compared to other, more expensive tablets. Apart from the drawing experience - it can’t really get better IMO. Comparing to the xp-pen notepad, the samsung s pen and the kamvas pen displays, I think the movinkpad wins in drawing experience. Maybe a tie with the kamvas pen displays, since they can use the full desktop and they’re also really neat IMO.
I haven’t tried using the movinkpad as a pen display through that experimental feature - I see no point as I have my Kamvas for that.
I’d recommend the movinkpad to anyone who want a tablet dedicated to drawing, for portability reasons. I’d still say the kamvas is a smarter choice if you mostly sit at your desk to draw and use a laptop or desktop anyway - it will likely outlast the computer and you can just focus on other specs when you need to upgrade, without worrying on drawing experience as much. I think.
(But again I’m not a very computer savy person, just someone who paints digitally)
