Artist Tech #3: Wacom Companion and Intuos Creative Stylus



Here it is!  Wacom's very own 13" Tablet, the Cintiq Companion!  They will release 2 models, the Companion and the Companion Hybrid.  Why they named it Companion, I don't know, but the Companion will sport 3rd Gen Core i7(Sorry no Haswell), 8GB RAM and either 256 GB SSD for the Windows 8 model and 512GB SSD for the Windows 8 Pro model.  Prices are $1999 and $2499 respectively.  (I know, time to sell some stuff!)  While the Cintiq Companion Hybrid comes with Nvidia GPU, and the quad-core Tegra 4, and will have 16GB and 32GB Storage.  The prices are $1499 and $1599 respectively.

I don't know how I feel right now.  Excited? Dumbfounded? It's damn expensive. Might be well worth it.

In other news, Wacom also released a stylus for the iPad called the Intuos Creative Stylus.  It features the same pressure sensitivity as an Intuos tablet, only in stylus form and it connects through Bluetooth 4.0.  It also comes with an updated and revamped Bamboo Paper app, and comes in blue and black colors.  The stylus is priced at $99.
