drooling… I know what to buy for xmas now :)

The Mac Tablet or iWhatever legend has been around for years… Although with the iPhone touch screen, it makes more sense now, I trust Wacom more for pro app technology geared towards drawing. So I’ll buy that one now, and I wouldn’t hold my breath for an Apple alternative just yet ;)

Funny. They’re suggesting in their commercial that you can walk around with it like a tablet PC. But apparently you can’t….
There are rumours that Apple will build a tablet MAC next year. I will wait for that one.

Can someone take pity on a noob and explain the differences/advantages of this device over a Tablet PC? Much appreciated.

This is great news. I was just about to pull the trigger on the 21UX. I’ll be checking out Wacom’s site every day.

The whole thing isn’t 26cm x 16cm, that’s just the size of the screen. Wacom’s site says the real dimensions are 405mm x 270mm and 17mm thick, or for US losers like myself, about 16″ x 10.6″ and two thirds of an inch thick.

That price is about what I thought it would be when I first saw this. A lot of things are more expensive in the UK so you can’t just estimate the US price by converting the price to dollars (which would come out to ~$1700). I mean, the regular Cintiq 21UX is selling for Â£2190 which is ~$4500, waaaay more than the $2500 it actually sells for here.

I estimated what it would cost by using percentages though. This new Cintiq 12WX is Â£830 which is about 38% of the cost of a Cintiq 21UX is ~Â£2200 in the UK. In the US, the Cintiq 21UX sells for $2500, but the price of the 12WX will still be about 38% of that which comes out to $950 — pretty close to the $995 that Rayl was quoted.
