It should come as no surprise that the pen functionality on a Wacom display or tablet is going to be stellar -- especially on the high-end kits like we spent time with here. We never encountered a hiccup with the pen functionality, and having all of...

The three shortcut buttons at the 24HD's top are alsowelcome, especially one that calls up a virtual onscreen keyboard – essentialfor naming layers when you haven't got a physical keyboard easily to hand. Theother two offer access to the onscreen...

For digital artists, designers and animation pros – anyone drawing onscreen who wants to work faster – there is no substitute. As an upgrade, it doesn’t represent a quantum leap over 2010’s 21UX, but taken alone it represents a valuable investment for...

It's an amazing peice of hardware, it's so well designed and put together. It oozes quality and improves drawing skill over time and productivity goes through the roof, what took you 30 mins on the Intuos 4, now takes 10 to 15 mins on the Cintiq. There...
