A Real Tablet has a Stylus

Chris Davies, Jan 17th 2011 Discuss [24]

2011 may be the year of the tablet, but as a segment it’s still painfully immature. Our hands-on with ASUS’ Eee Slate EP121 last week triggered the usual arguments, dismissing the 12.1-inch tablet out of hand because of its perceived “old” technology. Admittedly, there are plenty of points where the EP121 could fall short: ASUS reckon users will see up to 8hrs runtime, which seems hopelessly ambitious for a relatively slimline slate with a Core i5 processor, and the display was frustratingly glossy. Still, the dual-mode hybrid touchscreen is its crowning glory for those who understand that there’s more to a stylus than most – Steve Jobs included – would have you believe.

Turn your Wacom tablet into a Cintiq clone with new kit and some elbow grease

Shane McGlaun, Mar 15th 2010 Discuss [0]

If you are the artsy type that uses a Wacom tablet to draw on your computer, you may have lusted after one of the sweet Cintiq displays that let you draw right on the screen rather than use a tablet. You may have been bummed at the price of the Cintiq screens too at well over $1000. Read The Full Story

Chris Davies, Mar 1st 2010 Discuss [0]

Wacom have announced their latest Cintiq combination LCD display and graphics tablet, and it's a monster.

Green-House Japan LCD graphics tablet takes on Wacom Cintiq

Chris Davies, Aug 18th 2009 Discuss [0]

Green-House Japan have announced their new graphics-tablet-cum-LCD-display, and unfortunately the one thing we really want to know about the 17-inch device - how it compares, price-wise, to Wacom's Cintiq 12WX or PL-900, both exceedingly expensive - is left unsaid. What we do know about the GH-PTB17-E is that it has a 1,280 x 1,024 LCD paired with a wireless pen capable of 512 levels of pressure resolution. Read The Full Story

He Said, She Said: Is an Apple UMPC more likely than a MacBook Touch?

Chris Davies, Jul 30th 2008 Discuss [10]

With all the Apple rumors over the past week or so, Brenda and I were discussing whether we’d rather see a grown-up iPod Touch-style UMPC from the company, or a full-sized MacBook Tablet. As a Tablet PC user in the past, I’m a sucker for the full-sized option running OS X; Brenda is more keen on something super-portable that will kick Microsoft’s UMPC format into the dust. In the end, we decided to argue it out online and give SlashGear readers the chance to throw in their opinions too; we’re calling it “He Said, She Said” and you can read our thoughts (and leave your own) after the cut.

Wacom Cintiq 12WX reviewed: impressive but contentious?

Chris Davies, Jun 13th 2008 Discuss [12]

Wacom are known for their huge Cintiq LCD displays with pen-input, but the company also makes a smaller, 12.1-inch model intended to be used in your lap. At $1405 it could hardly be called entry-level, but it has the same 1024 levels of pressure sensitivity, 5080dpi resolution and pen-tilt awareness as its bigger siblings. PC Authority have been trying out the 16:10-aspect 1280 x 800 monitor, and judging by their 5/6 rating they seem impressed. Read The Full Story

Princeton PTB-TMW19B 19-inch LCD tablet display

Chris Davies, Jun 10th 2008 Discuss [0]

Looks like Wacom's Cintiq is getting some competition. Princeton's PTB-TMW19B might not have a slick name, but the 19-inch widescreen WXGA+ panel does have pen input with 1024 degrees of pressure recognised. Neatly designed, there's minimal bezel and a clever twist-to-lock adjustable hinge. Read The Full Story

Wacom to woo desktop artists with Cintiq 12WX inkable monitor

Chris Davies, Oct 22nd 2007 Discuss [0]

As any graphic designer (or Tablet PC owner, for that matter) will tell you, when it comes to digital pen technology you'll always get fine results going to Wacom. Up until now, however, your choice has been shepherded into one of two different product types: those with a sturdy desk and a desire to see what they're drawing on can pick from the Cintiq range of touch-sensitive displays, while those who want something more compact and, dare I say, lap-friendly can choose from the numerous ranges of graphics tablets (such as the latest Bamboo or Intuos3). Wacom are blurring that division, now, however, with the introduction of the baby in the Cintiq range: the compact 12WX. Read The Full Story

Wacom broaden appeal with entry-level touchscreen display

Chris Davies, Apr 23rd 2007 Discuss [0]

If you're serious about electronic art, Wacom will happily reassure you, you'll have a Cintiq display. For years now the drool-inducing mega-displays have woo'd artists and handwriting lovers alike, inciting as much awe over the specs as horror at the ultra-heavy price tag. So what about the serious artists who are also poor? Well, Wacom have decided to throw them a bone too, with the introduction of the PL-521. Read The Full Story
