How is this for doing graphics on with programs like Painter or Sketchbook Pro ? Any lag with the stylus ?

The stylus is actually very accurate. It is not a typical touch stylus. The unit comes with a digitizer pad embedded behind the screen that actually senses where the stylus is even when it is not touching the unit, up to an inch from the surface. This allows you to position where you want before you actually touch the surface. Also, the stylus pen has a button on the side and the top end of the stylus is a button as well for erasing (if the app supports it). It works great with all the writing and drawing apps that I have tried.

First - I am not an artist but like to draw and take notes at meetings. I do not find there to be lag. The stylus works great especially on the pressure sensitive drawings (shadowing etc.). I do however find that it takes some getting used to on the accuracy of where the line will be drawn. Once the style is on the tablet, very accurate. Final point, it is not like writing on paper. I font the stylus to be slippery so lines are hard to draw straight. I am told that a felt tip stylus is available and eliminates this issue but have yet to find one and buy. Hope this helps...

I use this tablet in Photoshop myself, and it does make it a lot easier to do touch ups. You can probably even go with the small tablet if your mainly using it for PS and LR. I don't see this tablet as an overkill, I look at it as another tool to add to my creative flow. If you do decide to purchase the Wacom tablet, I would recommend purchasing the POSRUS surface cover on Amazon. It makes the drawing surface a lot smoother, and it gives it a better feel when it comes in contact with your pen. I hope this helps you out.

I havent used it byt it should support basically stylus should be supported in all touch laptops but except spl features like the screen disabling when stylus comes near the screen to stop hazzle writing may not be present.

I run adobe photoshop cs6, sketchbook pro and manga studio 5 and blender on this tablet with no issues. I've taken the os upgrade to windows 8.1 pro and still have no issues.

I haven't and I've been using it for 3 years. If you're experiencing lag, try reinstalling the updated driver software from the Wacom website.

Yes, it is pressure sensitive, which is probably why the tips wear out so quickly. No experience with Android or Autodesk's Sketchbook.

I am very happy with My Cintiq 13HD. The only issues I have is the A/C cord is not optimal for movement but I don't see how they could resolve that without it being a tablet. I would also recommend a fingerless wool glove so your hand can glide on the screen. Just a suggestion.

I have to say that the stylus works much better than the rubber tip stylus, since you can at least see where you are going and what you have done already. With the rubber tip, you can't really tell where you are going to draw from. My experience is shared from the game "Draw Something"

I use this computer for many uses, one of which is graphics work with the GIMP (gnu image manipulation program) which is similar to Photoshop (in both capabilities and requirements). This computer can easily run the program, and has enough ram to open/edit good sized documents, but will lag on big files or if you run a processing task of any magnitude. Simpler processing tasks like adjusting brightness and contrast work fine, but lag on big images to the point that it is (slightly) annoying if you use the active preview. I also have a powerful home- built desktop, and it's greater speed is both noticeable and welcome after using the laptop. Short answer: it will work fine, but it is the minimum, more power would be ideal if photo work is your focus. If you only edit photos occasionally, this laptop should perform fine. Disclaimer: I cannot speak on the software aspect of the computer(win8) and how much power it consumes, as I wiped the hard drive immediately after the computer arrived and replaced win8 with Ubuntu 13.04

The first one for $2300+ is the touch version, which means that it responds to gestures etc as well as the pen input, this is helpful if you're into drawing as your left hand can rotate the electronic page, zoom etc while your right hand uses the stylus for inputting into the digital file

Yes, this tablet is great for drawing, painting, and even photo & video editing.

It has some issues. The touchpad stops working sometimes apparently without any reason. Also it gets very slow sometimes, hopefully that's because of windows so it could be fixed with an update. I'd say it's good for a student, my question would be, What kind of student? what software are you using? FYI, it can run autocad and solidworks well...

I've had that slick problem with the 12WX. The companion's screen has a bit of texture on it and the feel is a huge improvement if you draw slow. It doesn't really help you if you draw fast. HOWEVER, Wacom has "Hard Felt Nibs" available separately (5-pack for $5). It adds a lot of friction and gives you the feel of drawing with a pencil on paper. Switch out some those extra standard nibs in the pen case with some felt ones, and you'll be good! I use my felt nibs for digital inking and painting where I need to be slower and precise, and then switch back to the standard nib for sketching where I need more fluid movement. In the old Cintiq, I needed the Felt nib on all the time even for just sketching, and since they wear down, I needed a new pack of felt nibs every 18 months, but it's just like restocking pencils, so it's okay. Oh, and if you go with the felt nibs on the Companion, first use leaves trails of dust that looks like screen scratches. They clean off easily with the wiping cloth that comes with the Companion.

Yes it is, i found it to work very well in many types of editing software as well, like Photoshop,Manga Studio,Blender,Zbrush,Sculptris,Daz Studio 3d,Gimp, etc....and yes i have all of these lol. Some is limited to the tablet but over all...GREAT!! Plus many hot keys and buttons vs the Wacom

Nope, the workable area of the tablet is matched to the resolution of your screen (or to whatever area of the screen you set it to in the software). For example, if you float the pen near the lower-left corner of the working area of the tablet, the cursor will move to the bottom left of the screen. If you're using it for drawing/painting/graphics, this allows for broad strokes when zoomed out, and high precision when zoomed in. It's really quite flexible.

Hi, Mark. Your reply is very helpful to me. I'll looking at getting a small notebook in the future and was hoping to be able to handle some graphics and web editing without too much of a slow down. I'm glad to know you're happy running Illustrator on the NC10. How is the graphics card with an external monitor? Is the 2nd monitor limited to 1024x600, or can it handle higher res on the external?Thanks!

I have been using the ViewSonic touchscreen for about a year. It works okay but you still need the mouse for some things. I've never tried to use a stylus. No reason why it shouldn't work. It works with any impedance screen.
