Wacom Cintiq Companion 2 Professional Creative Tablet - Popzara
Before we begin, I just wanted to say that I genuinely loved the idea behind the Cintiq Companion Hybrid when I reviewed it over a year ago. A relatively bold effort by Wacom to turn their graphic displays into a multipurpose Android tablet. But everyone has vehemently spoken: the Companion Hybrid is no more, long live the Cintiq. In retrospect, it was probably an inevitability as the Hybrid didn’t have the chops for people craving a lot more from their creative tablets, a demand that the Android mobile platform (or any smartphone-derived OS for that matter) couldn’t... Wacom apparently took that sentiment to heart with the latest Cintiq Companion 2 which goes for more performance, more choices, and addresses a few inadequacies that plagued early adopters. The ExpressKeys and Rocker Ring are discreetly refreshed for better feel and uniformity, although those nice silver accents from the prototype models didn’t make it to production. Connectivity is bumped up and now has three SuperSpeed USB 3. 0 ports, another full-size SD Card slot (SDHC/SDXC) to complement the existing microSD one, and a Mini DisplayPort output for additional monitors.
