Looking for opinions on the older Cintiq 15x + ultra portable PCs recommendations
Hello all - I have a bit of an odd question. I plan to move around quite a bit in the coming year (say, one month at a time, in different countries) and I am thinking of bringing along a decent desk workstation. By decent desk workstation I mean, not a laptop+tablet combo, and not one of the recent Cintiq… -

Thanks a whole lot for the suggestions everyone ! This is very much appreciated :) -- Kurt, that's awesome !! Your video was the only one I could find showing an actual artist working on a 15x and it all seemed very responsive - so that was the tipping point pushing me to buy it :D I too went through a whole lot of tablets… -

I think you can consider building your own little pc in miniITX form factor. There's an AMD cpu series with embedded GPU inside. You'll need an mini-itx computer case, a microPSU, an AMD a8 or a10 series CPU(includes amd 8670 gpu which is way better than crappy intelHD onboard thingy) and a FM2 socket mainboard in miniITX… -

I have an old 15 inch wacom. I've mostly drawn line art on it and it works like a charm. Having an area of 15 inch starts to feel cramped though with most programs' ui. The resolution is ok if you zoom in/out a bit. The color display is way off, no matter how you calibrate it. And it weighs quite heavy. -

hehe, I made that video! what a coincidence! Cintiq 15 is ok, If you can buy a new unit....but I thought wacom made them a 10 years ago? I had: - 15x -1volito -graphaire(?whatever) -2 or 3 intuoses -tablet pc -and cintq 24hd IMO the most important is accuracy, then screen size, then this huge number of pressure, like… -

Alright, it's shaping up ... Got the unit yesterday, the viewing angles and colors rendition are pretty bad and the resolution is of course very low *but* the pen accuracy is really, really good - even a bit better than a 21UX, maybe. Still driving it with a rather heavy laptop ... If the 15x turns out to be useable enough… -

Alright - I took the leap of faith and ordered the 15x. At $350 including fast shipping I think it might be well worth it. I am now trying to narrow down my choices for a small form factor PC. So far I have been looking at devices that would be comparable in size to the Mac Mini, or even smaller, and came across this… -

Oh man igi that case looks awesome ... If I was still in the US and had time on my hands I would totally get all the parts from Newegg and build it myself ! I think I will go for a pre-build NUC - it's a bit expensive but I think it will fit my needs. I am a bit worried about the integrated graphics but I guess I'll test… -

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811163238 It seems this is the smallest you can get based on miniITX mainboards since their measurements are 17cm*17cm (7''). This kind of cases needs a low-profile cpu cooler and a laptop-like adapter for power supply, apparently. But still you may want something more… -

I kind of like the size of the Intel NUC, especially with traveling in mind. Also it's got the newest Intel HD 5000 graphics chipset. Still I wouldn't expect it's performance to be near as good as a dedicated GPU. http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2014/01/smallness-uber-alles-intels-tiny-haswell-based-nuc-desktop-reviewed/…
