Wacom Cintiq 12WX

May 26, 2010 Wacom Cintiq 12WX

Well after my last super budget bamboo tablet took a dump I was on the hunt for a new solution. I still have my back up Graphire 3 tablet which can still hold it down. But at this time I have decided to step up my equipment. So after debating for about a week I went ahead and picked up the Wacom Cintiq 12WX. The ability to draw right on the screen has cut my sketching time in half. And the ability to have a more natural connection with the process is a plus also.

Pros

• Natural drawing feel
• Increased productivity
• Tablet is another monitor
• Comfortable to work on

Cons

• Price
• No matter what anyone says this isn’t something you are just gonna carry with on you all the time. To me it’s a set it up and leave it kinda tablet.
• More cables on my desk

So I will have to give this product a super high marks, wish I would have made the jump years ago. May not be for everyone, but it makes it fun to draw on the computer.
