Abstract: A splendid bit of design that will please the most commited enthusiast, and a godsend for artists on a budget. We were impressed when we saw the forerunner to the Cintiq 12WX – the Cintiq 21UX. A responsive, easy-to-use tablet with an integrated...
Fluid operation, Useful for many graphics and imaging tasks
Bulky breakout box, Hard to work near the edges of the screen, Relatively expensive
A great input device if you do a lot of brush-based graphics, the Cintiq 12WX nonetheless has some awkward design aspects and a bit of a high price. ...
Smallest, most affordable Cintiq; crisp, bright LCD
Takes up lots of desk space, twice the price of a comparable Intuos tablet The Final Word Is the 12WX worth twice the price of a comparable-size Intuos tablet? Only if you value the built-in LCD.

Stylish, quality build, excellent subtle response, good screen definition with wide viewing angle, 16:10 format display, ergonomic weighted grip pen, relatively compact size, customisable controls, spare pen nibs
Reduced price still too high for some, relatively small screen size, no Bluetooth option for fuller portability, no dedicated carry case, some calibration issues, bundled software doesn’t reflect premium price Min specs: Requires Mac OS X 10.3.9 or...
If you already own the mighty Cintiq 21 UX you’re unlikely to want to replace it with the smaller version despite its obvious charms. That said, this is a wonderful alternative for anyone restricted by budget and space. Likely to outlive the average...
