Asus eee Slate vs Wacom Cintiq? Has anyone made the switch, and if so, are there any regrets?

I'm not an artist, but you might find this comparison between an ep121 and the 21 inch cintiq useful: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HAZg9bEPm1E

Since I don't use Win8, I wouldn't know. IMO, you'd do better to save up for a used Wacom Cintiq. This is definitely not like a Wacom. It's okay but not great.

The Wacom Intuos3 tablet does not display anything on the tablet itself; you have to get used to watching the PC screen as you're moving the pen over the surface of the tablet.Wacom does put out the Cintiq line of tablets which DO display your image right on the tablet itself, but of course these are much more expensive. The cheapest of these will set you back a thousand dollars, and even then, some of the people who have used the cheapest Cintiq seem to regard it as a beta product, a little rough around the edges. (There is a better Cintiq tablet, but it costs around $2000.)

No Kim. the tablet is simplya surface interface. What you draw can only be seen on the monitor. I think that what you are looking for might be the touch screen monitor that supports Wacom pens. That is somewhere between 900 & 2000 dollars depending on the size you buy.

Fortunately I have access to both and did a pretty thorough review of them on my blog site at http://www.blendblog.net/Default.aspx?tabid=36&EntryID=64. Hope this helps, I like both devices but they are different and which one to get really depends on what you are looking for which I breakdown in my review. Sean

No, Wacom is a completely different brand of tablet, whilst asus is a windows product. Don't risk it unless you happen to know someone that owns this pen so you can test it first.

Honestly, at first i didn't liked it at all. But now im kind of get used to sketchbook pro, The wacom apps are really awful. (excuse my english, hope you understand me)

Depends upon the sellers. And with so many sellers offering counterfeits (look at all the bad reviews), no wonder they kept changing the price. Thank goodness Wacom has a new generation of Bamboo stylii to choose from (check my review of the new Duo CS150K).

The Intuos3 should work fine with PS Element and as Jhay stated, make sure to download the latest drivers from Wacoms website.Tablets tend to feel more natural to draw with and are usually easier/faster compared to doing digital art/etc with a mouse, if that is what you are asking.

Sorry we weren't able to tell the difference between those 2 items. You might want to contact Wacom.

Thanks for the tip. It's partly a psychological pricing thing for me... if the Eee get's much over $400, I start wondering if I should be buying a regular laptop.I realize that it's somewhat an "apple and oranges" thing but still...I will definitely be running Linux and just the bundled software. I want it for school and maybe a little entertainment -- Music and my collection of DivX videos (if those can play. DO you know?)

I also upgraded from an older Wacom Pad. I was really worried about size, I knew the small was too small, and thought the large may be to large. I was right, and do think you will also be right is choosing the medium size.

Including a display in the tablet would be incredibly expensive; however, Wacom does offer the Cintiq line which provides exactly that. There are also cheaper tablets from Yiynova that do that as well. Personally I prefer the detached tablet, because then my hand doesn't get in the way of seeing what I'm working on. Also, having a 1:1 correlation between the pen and the mouse cursor makes it more annoying to have any slight accuracy or latency problem, while if you have your hand decoupled from the cursor those issues aren't as noticeable.

I feel bad for you ben. I wrote a review writing about the same thing. Apparently, Wacom (those mofos) put a thin plastic film over the screens of the Cintiqs that scratches ridiculously easy if you don't change out their nibs as part of a planned obsolescence. I noticed that the screens of the 13 in models (Cintiq Companions & Cintiq 13in HD) scratch especially easy. Don't remove the screen's plastic, otherwise you'd void your warranty. I would just return the damn thing.

The first tablet was probably a Wacom of some kind, my guess is one of the Intuos professional models. The large tablet monitor you saw was a Wacom Cintiq. Be aware that Cintiqs cost thousands of dollars, and are usually only worth it if you are actively making a living in a field such as concept art, matte painting, etc. You can do everything with a regular tablet that you can with a Cintiq minus draw on the actual screen, so it's really more of a convenience than a necessity. Still, in college I had access to a lab full of Cintiqs 24/7 for four years, and they truly are awesome to use. Maybe if I ever have large amounts of disposable income...

Thanks for your answers. If there's a Wacom rep reading this, do you know of any plans to develop more types of tips? I really liked the multiple tips & styli when I used them for my Wacom tablet (bought 6 yrs ago) & there would definately be a market for them. :-)
