The Cintiq 12WX came to our college wrapped in technological warmth and love, and with every part we opened, I soon found that this model was nothing like the others.

I had heard that it was just like using a digital form of paper to store work, but I hadn't expected a technological wonder piece. After ...
...first go as I'm a bit of a fanatic about the Wacom range. The pen slid effortlessly over the screen and it created a perfect line that not even a pencil could reproduce. Quite simply a masterpiece. If you don't look at the pricetag, you won't feel guilty buying it! ... Read review
