There’s this saying about donkeys, and I guess I’ve proven I’m not a donkey, because once again, this was waaaaaaaay bigger than I had expected. I thought, whatever, and got the 24″ one. The 16″ model has been out of stock for quite some time now in the Netherlands.
The demise of the Mobile Studio Pro left me without a display tablet, so I decided to invest in a real Cintiq. I actually still like the old Intuos 3 we got crowdfunded in 2007 better. I hadn’t realized Large meant Huge though… It’s not a display tablet. Then we had the 2019 Krita Sprint, and I wanted to setup a working HDR test system, so I got an Intuos Pro Large. (Though Sharaf is working full-time now on improving Krita on ChromeOS and Android.) And Krita on Android is still a bit rough, so no way that would be my main drawing device. The Tab S4 is nice for reading comics, too, but screen is small and the pen is a bit too small to hold comfortably, for me at least. In 2019, we acquired a Pixel Chromebook (a loaner from Google) and a Samsung Tab S4, for the ChromeOS and Android port. And the Pencil is really nasty to hold, because it’s top-heavy. The pencil these days never gets even charged because I don’t want to port Krita to iOS and I dislike all the drawing applications that are available for iOS. The replacement was too dim, and had to be replaced.Īnd the iPad is also still fine, probably because I don’t use it for anything but reading comics. The screen was broken… The motherboard too. Of the hardware in the original survey, I still have the Lenovo Yoga 920 - it just has had its screen replaced for the second time, but apart from that, it’s fine. So I got myself a Wacom Link device so I could use it as a regular cintiq, but after two days of usage… The display would reset itself randomly and finally it wouldn’t power up anymore, at all. When running as a computer, it would shut itself down randomly, probably because it was getting too hot. I didn’t discuss the Wacom Graphire, the Wacom Intuos 3, the Huion H610 or the Yiyniva MVP22U that I also had around, probably because apart from the Intuos 3, all of that hardware was stored in the Hardware Attic.īut recently, the Hybrid Companion became even more unusable (it was already bad because of the enormous parallax): the screen’s brightness just couldn’t reach visible levels anymore.Īnd the Wacom Mobile Studio Pro has been dying for over a year now - not good for expensive hardware bought only in 2017. These were a Lenovo Thinkpad X61t, a Lenovo Thinkpad Helix, a Microsoft Surface Pro 3, a Wacom Cintiq Hybrid Companion, an iPad Pro 12.9″, a Wacom Mobile Studio Pro 16″ and a Lenovo Yoga 920. In 2018, I discussed the digital painting devices I had used up til then.
