The Cintiq Companion Hybrid, on the other hand, is a traditional Cintiq when plugged into a Mac or PC, but when used as a mobile device, works as a stand-alone Android® tablet with enough power to do light sketching and start creative processes with suitable apps. The Cintiq Companion runs Windows 8 and full versions of creative software and offers everything a customer would expect from Wacom's Cintiq products. The Cintiq Companion line, available in two models, enables creative professionals to work wherever they want. VANCOUVER, Wash., Aug.19, 2013 /PRNewswire/ - Staying on top of evolving trends in the creative community and responding to frequent requests from professional customers, Wacom® extends the creative experience from the desktop to a mobile environment with the new Cintiq® Companion line of creative tablets. The Cintiq Companion Hybrid Tablet is scheduled to go on sale directly from Wacom in September.
Suddenly the $600 originally charged for the Galaxy Note 10.1 (with a Wacom digitizer) doesn't seem so bad.
Even allowing for Wacom's advanced digitizer and fancy monitor functionality, three times the price seems a little indulgent. The Cintiq hardware has always been ultra-premium and high-margin (and a bit of a status symbol among designers and artists), but there's still a lot of sticker shock here when similarly-equipped Android tablets are going for well below $500.
