My wish list...


Many of my friends have a Wacom Cintiq and they love the product, saying it has changed the way they work with the computer when drawing.

I have wanted one for a long time now. The main reason is cost.

A Cintiq is not cheap, in fact it is expensive but worth every penny. But I like many others can't just go out and spend a huge chunk of cash that I may not have in my bank account!

Wacom have released this new model version of the Cintiq 21UX but so far I have been unable to find what the price in GBP is.

On the USA Wacom website they advertise the new 21UX as $1999, in GBP that equates to approx 1.450 pounds. So maybe that is the price that Wacom will sell the Cintiq for over here?

I shall be in the USA in August and wonder if I should purchase one while over the pond? Probably it is best that I should buy one here in the UK as warranty and power requirements will be in place should I need to ever fall back on any issues.

The Cintiq works by creating/replicating another 'screen' of your computer, so that you can draw directly onto the screen:

This gives you greater creative control when you draw or paint using any of the software programs like Photoshop, Painter etc etc. It also delivers faster productivity when working so speeding up the whole process.

So it is not if I get one but rather when do I buy one!

My choice if I could afford it is to buy it while I was over the pond.

I'm drooling myself!

I'd love any waycom tablet really. I have none at all.
