As in all that latency I can visibly see as I wait for my stroke to catch up with my Cintiq pen.

Its yet to see whether Microsoft or Wacom focuses in Digitizers in future otherwise the Apple IPAD Pro is a take-in for the Creatives which is offering a better latency (lower is better) with virtually no lag. It did prove good but not for Graphics designers who chose to stick to Cintiq over Surface Pro or Pro3. DrawingĮven the Microsoft Surface Pro or Pro3 was envisioned over: Lose a minority of creatives, and produce a thinner and cheaper tablet for everyone. All these things are a non-issue with the iPad Pro, also it runs its own OS and has multi touch build in, you’ll be paying $2000+ for multitouch on a Cintiq.“Īs a matter of fact, the Cintiq 13 is 1.2 kg, Cintiq 22 is 8.5 kg, whereas Apple IPAD PRO is just 713 gms light and also 6.9 mm thick as that of Cintiq 13 which is of 14 mm thickness. No amount calibration shakes the feeling that you’re not actually drawing on this surface. Most importantly the screen itself has a huge air gap between the pen and the digital screen, causing parallax. The screens aren’t retina, the color is whack, the brightest it can display is not very bright and there’s a lot of reflection. Most of them come with a giant set of cords because, obviously, they need to be plugged into a computer. The ones deemed “portable” are hardly at best. Quoting Linda Dong’s experience: “ Cintiqs are heavy, really heavy. The Retina display for Apple has been the top notch of surface quality, take Macbook or previous I-Pads, everybody loves the Apple touch. The preferred surface design is usually the light, sleek and good surface material. The Cintiq stylus is big, the pen tip is wobbly, your fingers randomly collide into the side buttons, and everything feels like cheap jiggly plastic.” Surface Design I would also argue it provides more freedom of drawing motion. Same has been the case with Apple Pencil too.Īccording to Linda Dong : “The Apple Pencil has a much narrower body and tip, allowing the stylus to not obscure the drawing itself. Their Industrial Design team is awesome and they craft every detail with intention. Let’s move ahead on it’s sideline : Stylus DesignĪpple usually has kept their Design in one of the top priorities.
She also posted a detailed Comparison of Apple Pencil and Wacom Cintiq. And I’ve been using them for years for industrial design sketching, UI, and art.” The Agenda being “Cintiq is superior in performance and design at a similar price.”īut according to Linda Dong, (who is a designer and has worked on Apple’s Prototyping Team, exploring new user-interaction concepts for future hardware and technology) “Quite plainly, the Cintiq sucks in comparison. Recently the launch of Apple I-Pad Pro with a Apple Pencil left a debatable market among the Cintiq users and the Apple Fans.
