I’ve since read a really interesting article that interviewed some designers. They all basically said the same thing, I still like my Cintiq. Plus, one thing I didn’t catch is that there’s not much upgrading these things.
That is the biggest hurdle I see with these. Sure up front it may cost the same as a Cintiq plus a work station, but being able to upgrade the work station as time goes on seems to be the best route, without having to replace the Cintiq as well. The specs don’t look all that powerful even at the upper end models.
For the puck, I thought I heard they only work with certain programs, none of which are adobe, but I may be wrong. If that is the case though, that’d be too bad since CC is pretty much an industry standard.
