A 12-inch Cintiq (couldn’t find it on the Wacom website, but it’s crap anyway). Cool, huh? For 1,200 euros (and roughly as many dollars, I guess). Not so cool.
What are you supposed to do with it? If you’re going to spend so much money on a tablet, you’ve got to have a pretty serious setup on your desktop; are you expected to drag your Photoshop windows from your 30-inch Cinema Display to the MacBook-sized tablet hardly has enough pixels to draw an entire webcomic? That’s just silly.
By the way, I can’t believe the 21-inch Cintiq is still 1600x1200 only. When a device already costs 3,000 euros and targets very dedicated professionals (and some geeks with a disgusting lot of disposable income), maybe you can add a couple hundred to the price tag and offer a decent resolution by today’s standards.
Is Wacom really going to the dogs, or what?
