Wacom allows you to backup hotkey information to a cloud server and install on another machine. Hotkey transferring from device to device seems much easier.

While not as bright as the Macbook Pro screen the Companion 2 screen works great and has enough brightness for painting outdoors. The screen brightness and matte finish are also very apparent. Notice the resolution difference on the two devices. The two photos above are the Cintiq Companion 2 being tethered to a Macbook Pro showing Photoshop on the Macbook Pro then the same window on the Companion 2. Using the device the whole time while you are out. At the end of the day just disconnect the Cintiq Companion 2 itself, place it in the carry case and head out.

For example you could connect this up to your desktop and use desktop software while you are working. Tethering is done with the included HDMI and USB cable along with the power cord. Like a traditional desktop Cintiq has done for years. The largest addition to the Wacom Cintiq Companion 2 is the ability to tether to a PC/Mac. The same Photoshop window on the Cintiq Companion 2 Again this ends up staying in the box instead of being carried around with the device. The stand feels flimsy and adding unneeded thickness to the device. This is one area that Wacom could stand to really improve with future iterations. The stand is the same stand from the Cintiq Companion 13HD. it is nice to see that they improved this. The first generation device did have a heat issue. Personally I put on headphones and listen to music when using it.ĭespite the loud fan the Companion is not hot to the touch. But in this day and age everyone is used to silent smart phones and tablet devices that this will sound like holding a miniature helicopter trapped inside the device. It would be great to see battery life get to 8 hours on a single charge. It is difficult to gauge the actual time left on your current battery. The battery meter icon fluctuates and depends if you are actually doing operations (painting, filters, etc) or not.

Currently I get 4-5 hours in Photoshop CS5 as a maximum. There are only a few negative points about the Companion 2. Wacom created a great pen case with it.Īll these get stored in the included carrying case, which can also house cables or an external keyboard.Ĭintiq Companion 2 and pen case inside the carrying case The only drawback is there's no way to store the pen inside or on the device during storage. Using the similar pen for 12 plus years I can say I would not change a thing about the design. The pen is the same Wacom pen you know and love.

WACOM CINTIQ 22HD TOUCH PEN DISPLAY CARRYING CASE PORTABLE

The portability of this device actually makes the hotkeys usable and essential (unless you want to carry a portable keyboard around). I personally have never used them since a keyboard is right there. The hotkeys are a must! I have read that artists typically do not use the hotkeys on desktop tablets/Cintiqs. Input side (headphones, USB inputs, memory cards, monitor, and power inputs, microSD slot) I compared it to a Cintiq 21UX and the 22HD. It’s on par with any of the other Cintiq desktop products as far as I could compare. You can also view websites easily using the multitouch. But for typing and launching programs it works great. For painting and drawing it does not seem that great of an option.

It’s very usable to type using the onscreen keyboard. Sitting on the sofa painting, on an airplane, or at the beach and creating artwork without the sacrifice of your normal tools or workflow is all possible with it. The Companion is a professional artist computer that is also portable. Make no mistake this is not a tablet device you can also paint crudely with. The device does have some heft (1.7kg) to it. Instead of one side being heavier and feeling odd to hold, it is all spread out throughout the device. But it is spread out throughout the device. The weight is almost identical to the original. The best thing and also oddest about the 2nd generation Wacom Companion is the weight of the device. This model had 8GB of ram which allows the use of 3D sculpting and painting programs as well as painting in Photoshop.Ģ048 levels pen pressure, tilt and multi-touch I purchased the Cintiq Companion 2, Intel Core i7 256GB version.

It is still a Windows 8.1 PC but now has the ability to tether to a PC/Mac like the larger Cintiq models. Wacom has incrementally pushed the design of the Companion in a lot of great ways. The Wacom Cintiq Companion 2 is a worthy successor to the first generation Companion. We are delighted to have environment and 3D artist Jeff Parrott who wrote this guest review.
