Reviews of the Wacom Cintiq 12WX
-
CNET Review
The Good: Fluid operation; useful for many graphics and imaging tasks.
The Bad: Bulky breakout box; hard to work near the edges of the screen; relatively expensive.
The Bottom Line: A great input device if you do a lot of brush-based graphics, the Cintiq 12WX nonetheless has some awkward design aspects and a bit of a high price.
