How much difference does it make to have 32GB instead of 16 GB? Is it worth the extra cost?

The 32GB version has a larger battery so you can use it twice as long. About 12 hours I think Wacom states. But both models have a microSD slot for adding up to an additional 64GB of storage. I have the 32GB version with a 64GB Samsung microSD and I just load it with music and listen with a pair of Bluetooth headphones while I'm drawing. Not a necessity, just nice to have. :)

As was already stated it is only for use when using as an android tablet. Unless you are needing a ton of space I do not see the need for going with the 32GB model. I have the 16GB myself and have no issues with it. Another thing to consider is it has a micro sd slot so you can expand it with what size you feel you need. I had a 64 gb micro sd in it for a little but didn't didn't see a need. I love mine and use it often. The software they have for the android isn't the greatest but it works in a pinch. I use mine hooked up to my PC a lot for being able to use native photo shop with it. If they had a version that was comparable to PC or Mac version for android I would use it all the time.

storage is just for when you're using it as an android tablet.. it is the amount of space available to android. Android itself takes up several GB of storage space, probably somewhere around 4GB. So if you think you are going to need more than 12 GB space you might want 32GB.this thing isnt that portable and it came out half a year ago, unless you're really n the market for a cintiq right this minute I would suggest skipping the companion hybrid and wait for next gen, or look into surface pro 3 (its out today) or something.

I've used 16 GB cards. I think it will take 32. I know it won't take anything larger.

In this day, considerably, no (seeing as terabyte is available). I imagine you're a music person who listens to a lot of music. If you are, then 32g should be fine for you. If you're someone like me who got a 16g just for my own compositions then you don't need a 32g. You can fit anywhere from 200-300 songs in 1g (depending on the length of the song), so essentially having a 32g would hold about 9,600 songs. Your call. I'd say go for it because you never know what new music you might discover. Plus, it's always better to have extra storage. I would've gotten it myself, but the price was a bit too much.

The short answer is as much as you can afford. Memory is the biggest slowdown of systems after the hard drive access times (which are not going to change anytime soon). 64GB would be 16GB sticks which are terribly expensive so it it were me, I'd stick with 8GB sticks for a total of 32GB until the 16s come down in price. Nowdays with poorly behaved programs (like Chrome) that takes as much memory as available, more is better.

We will need a little more information like what are you inserting this into? Also does the system board that you are using this on expand to 32GB? Maybe 16 is its max.

I would expect you have more room to cache so more applications will run raster. But 32GB will run a lot of applications plus the OS. Not sure you are getting anything out of it. People rarely run that much at one time. On the other hand, its only $45 - which is not that much more. You could partition it in half and make better use of the 45GB that you are not using for caching. I would play around with it and see if 45GB gives you any decreased performance. If it doesn't, use the other 45GB for something else. Cheers!

If you are referring to the RAM, you should get the 8 gb. Everything will still function without it but you can do more at the same time, and images will render faster with more ram. I purchased the 4 gb but plan on upgrading.

If you plan on puting on a lot of content, then yes 64 is worth it. BUT 32gb holds a ton of memory as well. I have over 3,000 songs, a lot of photos and large games and still with a few gigabytes to spare.

The one I ordered had 16 GB. Since they did not have that one in stock they sent me a 32GB model.

I bought the 32 gig. depends on your collection. I stream a lot of msic so I don't use a lot of space.

I do believe it is possible to upgrade to 16gb. And I'm not to sure about your first question? Could you word it differently?

Memory is memory. Unless you're doing some crazy rendering and/or running several video & photo editing programs at once, you will NOT notice a difference between 16 and 32 gb of memory. The average user/gamer will not (currently) need more than 16gb.That being said, it is generally a good idea to buy the exact same product if you're planning on getting more later on down the road.

I am also wondering the same thing. But I don't think there should be any difference between the 8GB and 16GB models

Absolutely, I'm waiting for something with more ram on the main. You'll find when you start using it on a regular basis, I use mine everday. The storage is worth it. The SD card helps with photos and videos but there are a lot of programs that will not transfer to the SD card. 16GB isn't enough.

Your getting a 4GB instead of 2GB. The last time a spent a little more for this type of update I never regretted it. Other 4GB cards are a lot more spendy than this one.

I bought the 32gb over the 64gb for only one reason a $100.00 savings. I carry 3days worth of music and around 8 hours of video. not to mention all the apps. for me the 32gb was the right decision. Brian

Find the best speed you can afford..try going for 32gb. I use Kingston hyperx.
