  • Smallest, most affordable Cintiq, Crisp, bright LCD
  • Takes up lots of desk space, Twice the price of a comparable Intuos tablet
  • At this screen size, unless you really value the built-in LCD, you might be better off with a cheaper drawing tablet. ...

  • Direct pen-on-screen control for comfort, speed and ease of use; wide variety of customizable controls; bright and clear display; compatible with a wide range of software applications
  • 12.1-inch screen may be too small for some photographers who might want to opt for the larger 20WSX or 21UX; can be time-consuming to customize; too many cords and cables to be truly portableCorrection: Review initially said screen had 1600 x 1800 resolut...

  • Abstract:  When I heard that Wacom was releasing a new, smaller Cintiq, I was immediately intrigued and at the same time a bit skeptical. All too often I’ve gotten excited about an upcoming product only to be disappointed in the end. This, however, is ...

  • Drawing and retouching onscreen is as fluid as an analog tool. Slim, manageable tablet shape. Battery-free, cordless stylus registers pressure and angle. Sharp, clear LCD panel.
  • At edges, onscreen cursor drifts from stylus tip. Whybother software bundle includes outdated programs. Jerky scroll strip registers accidental touches.
  • The vast majority of the Cintiq 12WX surface feels just like drawing or painting in a sketchbook. The edge-tracking issue disappoints, but the tablet will otherwise delight pros on a small budget and enthusiasts with money to spend. ...

  • Design and build, ease of use, portability, indispensable portable tool for graphics professionals.
  • Price may be beyond the more “casual” user.
  • Taken on price alone, the Wacom Cintiq 12WX looks expensive. But once out of its box the quality of the display, the build quality and the sheer versatility of the device quickly becomes apparent and makes the Cintiq 12WX an indispensable tool for any ...

  • State-of-the-art drawing tools. Easy to use in your lap. More ExpressKeys than on other Wacom input devices.
  • Smallish display. Stand doesnt lock upright. Complicated setup. No cable management.
  • If you make your living creating graphics, you need a Cintiq drawing table. The question is: which one? The Cintiq 12WXs lower price, increased comfort factor, and added functionality may give the Editors Choice–winning Cintiq 21UX a run for its mon...

  • 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.
