Apparently this feature requires a вЂњWacom LinkвЂќ unit that is not included as standardвЂ¦ same as the stand.

Then, when I have some room to spread out (in a hotel room for example) I can cable the unit up to my MacBook Pro and have a complete portable studio with dual screens and the whole works, just like back home.

Like the CC2, I can use the MSP when on the road as a stand alone, fully functioning PC using full versions of the software I am used to using in the studio.

I loved that option with the CC2, since I am not a big Windows fan. Frankly that is a bit of a dealbreaker for me. I was not able to test the option of tethering the MSP to my laptop and using it like a traditional Cintiq as the test unit did not include the cabling for that, but as that is very straightforward and worked like a charm with the CC2, I expect it to work equally well with the MSP. The MSP worked like a pro, with no lags or delays in work flow. Not huge but when you start using up memory with saved history steps, multiple undoвЂ™s, etc., itвЂ™s easy for a smaller computer to get bogged down. These are 4900 x 3200 pixel images and with various layers the working file runs over 300MB in size. Just to test things out, I loaded and opened up a full resolution 2 page MAD spread on the MSP. I have always preferred using the optional felt tip with the Cintiq, but I am not sure I will need that now. ItвЂ™s by far the most natural feel of any digital drawing device IвЂ™ve used, including the iPad Pro and the rubbery Apple Pencil. Just the right amount of drag and surface tension, with a little вЂњgiveвЂќ of flexibility as well in the pen point. Unlike previous units, this surface provides a much more natural surface feel to the screenвЂ¦ itвЂ™s more like drawing on real paper or board. The best part for me is the new вЂњetched glassвЂќ screen. There is no lag at all, even when furiously sketching. The feel on the screen is terrific, and the transition from thick to thin lines when drawing are fluid. The brush/cursor is hyper-accurate to the pen point after calibration to your specifications. Gone is the odd вЂњoffsetвЂќ that plagued the CC2 in some cases. In fact, I had to go in and adjust the setting for the firmness of the pen because the touch was so light and sensitive. I knowвЂ¦ how much more pressure sensitivity do you really need? I can tell you that I really noticed a difference out of the box. The new pen doesnвЂ™t just double the CC2вЂ™s 2048 levels pressure sensitivity, it quadruples them. The biggest test for me is the performance of the pen on the screen, and the MSP knocks it out of the park. Not a significant difference in size, but it does feel lighter and less bulky than the CC2.ДЄfter firing up the unit (which runs Windows 10) and opening PhotoShop, I immediately saw the benefits of the significantly ramped up specs of the MSP. ItвЂ™s the same thickness (without the stand) as the CC2, but about an inch less tall and a tiny bit less wide, despite having the same 13.3 inch screen real estate. I was surprised to find it was only a little more than a 1/2 pound lighter (3.13 lbs)вЂ¦ seemed like a lot more. My first thought when unboxing the MobileStudio Pro (MSP) was how much smaller and lighter it felt than the Cintiq Companion 2 (CC2). It has addressed a number of the вЂњconsвЂќ I had about the Companion 2, while at the same time really upping the game in terms of specs and performance. I have been using the Cintiq Companion 2 for some time now, and while I liked that device just fine (see my review here) I found the MobileStudio Pro to be a significant upgrade. I had the 13 inch version with the I7 processor, 16GB RAM and 512GB SSD. Now that the MobileStudio Pro has been announced, I can share my review of the unit. I was one of a handful of artists who were there as part of the event, and who had been sent one of the new devices to test drive beforehand. Last week Wednesday Wacom unveiled their new MobileStudio Pro device at an event at the Society of Illustrators in New York City. October 13th, 2016 | Posted in It's All Geek to Me!
