Wacom USB Tablet Costs More than Most Notebooks

Wacom has recently announced its latest graphics tablet called the Cintiq 12WX. This tablet combines the Cintiq interactive pen display with the portability and size of the Intuos3 tablet. The result is a 405 x 270 x 17mm device with a 12.1-incn TFT display. The table has toggles that allow it to change between computers and can be used as a second or third display.

The Cintiq 12WX was designed for professional digital content creators working with storyboarding, finishing retouching, and compositing. The pad weighs 2kg and the display has a 1280x800 resolution with 24-bit color and 170 degree viewing angles. The pad connects to your PC via USB for transferring content to and from the pad. The big problem with the 12WX is the price, the little gadget will cost about $1700 when it launches in November. The Cintiq 12WX isn't quite as sexy as the Wacom Bamboo.
