    CNET Review

    February 21, 2008

    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.
