you mean Wacom?



David Hamuel

Nope, a Tablet PC, where you are drawing with a stylus directly on the screen.

my mistake. by Wacom i mean/meant - Cintiq 18sx.

anyway - Cintiq is the tool!!!! not pc. in my opinion, of course.


David Hamuel

Cintiq really is it.

At least if you are trying to use the stylus for any type of artistic feature. It has much more presure sensetivity and such.

hildebrant.

> Cintiq really is it.

If only the price was reasonable! I'll stick with my Wacom.

well. we need to pay for good things. the price is reasonable.

When I got my first 6x9 Wacom tablet in '95 I envisioned my
ideal computer being just that size/weight with no additional
hardware. Think no keyboard - rather true, robust dictation
instead; wireless; super long battery life, and no external
monitor - a direct drawing interface screen like the Cintiq.
In my recent search for a new system I took a serious look at
the latest tablet PC's. However they only approach what I've
been waiting for as the specs still fall short, overall.

I know this is tangential to your initial question but I thought
anyone interested in the Cintiq is forward-thinking enough
to perhaps share my vision.

I have tried the Fujitsu Stylus and the Motion Tablet PC. The Stylus is a 600x800 screen, and the Motion is 768x1024. Both are less than enthralling. Paper, pencil and ScanFont are really the way to go here.

The highest resolution touchsceen I've seen is the NEC LCD2010X-T at 1280x1024. I don't think it has the pressure granularity that a Cintiq has. Public-use kiosks and specialized design tools are two different things.

I'll reconsider Tablet PCs when Apple ships one.
