Wacom Mobilestudio Pro 13 2nd Generation

Pretty sweet travel companion for all things art

So I'm loving the combination of a nice and familiar wacom pen with the beautiful screen. The touch screen works great, even small buttons seem to be relatively easy to touch with my big finger, but it's still a clumsy way to work keyboard wise. You can get a bluetooth keyboard but that kind of defeats the purpose of the portability of it. I am using it on my morning commutes, I'm pretty happy with the battery life of it, I am able to go 2 days u... Show Moresing Zbrush with a 40 minute commute to nyc and back without having to recharge the battery. I will say, its heavy, it adds extra weight to your bag like a big filled up water bottle would. I don't like how short the screen is, perhaps thats a personal preference but I just feel like it should be taller, and not as wide (its a 16x9 ratio). I've mapped all of my 3 button pens on a wacom pro pen for 3d to be my navigation in zbrush, and I love the buttons on the side of the mobile studio pro for keyboard shortcuts. I'm actually getting the hang of it really fast, the buttons are a lifesaver!! It comes with a heavy duty stand, so that's nice, I just hate the extra weight. Overall I've not had any issues with it, my main gripe is just that I wish the screen was taller, and its very expensive for what it is. Not sure yet if I'll be keeping it because of that, but I am a fan. The screen is beautiful, so if you're gona be using it for drawing, zbrush (anything that utilizes the pen feature), then you'll be happy. If you're just using it for lightroom or premiere pro...maybe look for a laptop instead.Show Less
