Wacom Mobile Studio Pro vs The Surface Pro
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 25 ส.ค. 2024
- I've been using the Surface Pro for over 2 years and I've been dying to get my hands on the Wacom Mobile Studio Pro. Now that I've had the chance to use it for a few weeks how does it compare with the Surface Pro? The Surface pro is designed to be a great mobile device. light weight, and extremely portable. The Wacom MobileStudio Pro is more of an art tool.

Another great, insightful video Brad! People are seriously going to appreciate this since you have experience with both :)
Thanks! After using the 16 I can really see why you went for the 13. When I'm at my desk I loooove the size, but it's hard to prop it on my lap or take it to another room. It's a little to bulky.
NihongoGamer what
Im so close to buying this now, after watching a million reviews. However this is something that concerns me, I want the 16 inch most expensive model.. but im worried it will be pretty bulky and heavy when im just drawing with it on my lap or in bed... Have you gotten used to propping it up on your lap now? I want a bigger screen cause im used to drawing on my 24hd wacom
"Huge jump in prices, between these two devices". You should be a rapper.
This was IMO the best comparison video about these kind of devices. Honest, objective and totally based on EXPERIENCE, and all the important stuff covered. Good work Brad!
Thanks, I appreciate the kind words!
Man that price tag on the Mobile Studio Pro is brutal. I hope these things have a long life span. I'm afraid to buy it because I don't want it to die on me.
I hear you, I know people who have used the same Intuos for like 8 years. i used my old Cintiq for 6. I can't imagine using an actual computer for that long.
I own a MobileStudio Pro 16. The first unit I bought had a lot of problems - screen dead pixels, bloated battery. I had to ship it to Germany 2 times for repairs and it was expensive! They finally sent me back a replacement unit that (so far) is working fine. I use it as my daily computer. Since my first experience with the MSP was a bad one, I really am very cautious about Wacom.
Update: this is my third replacement MSP 16. INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING HAS BEEN EXPENSIVE! I WILL NOT be buying another MobileStudio Pro
@@TheChrisDecember thats sad
@@TheChrisDecember also msp user, battery swelled, repaired now i think itys swelling AGAIN.....
@@abdulmalik2388 I feel you brother. The funny part is (in my case) I never left it overcharged.
I don't really mind the straight line part since that's why we have the line tool in photoshop lol.
That will never not give a feel of free hand though.
Thanks for making the comparison video Brad, been waiting for this.
fix that damn wobble already, Microsoft !
I'm not noticing any on the SurfacePro 4
it's a software thing, it only does it on certain programs like photoshop
Definitely a Photoshop thing I never draw in it because my pen tablets never work in them properly. I have a cintiq
some programs get rid of it, like in photoshop and illustrator you can adjust this "wobble" thing some people like those lines, and some people like the line to be smoother, 100% based on software
Hi Rabbit, have you try using other softwares? such as paint tool sai ? or sketchbook pro? sorry i need you guys' advice
Just to make sure you know (based off of your comment at 10:17), the Surface Pro has a micro-SD card slot behind the kickstand.
Yeah, not sure how I missed that one. It is kinda tiny and hidden.
Brad Colbow Haha, yeah. It's nice and out of sight, but the discoverability is low. Great videos by the way, always entertaining.
Well…also mobilestudio pro has one…and full size SD slot bih :)
@@olmocuaron Whats the advantage of a full size sd card? cos phones have em
Hi, Nice video :) Just to let you know that if you want to ditch the reliance on keyboard shortcuts on the Surface you can buy a Wacom expresskey remote, it uses up the USB slot and isn't cheap but it's a great help in my experience.
Great comparison! I had been planning on buying a Surface Book when the MSP series was first announced, and stats on the MSP16 hit the mark on just about every feature I've ever wanted. 15"+ screen, a 'desktop class' digitizer (engineered with art in mind, not taking notes), the programmable hotkeys, enough processor and RAM to run my animation and video programs effectively and allow fast navigation in 3D programs, have conveniently expandable and swappable storage (via the SD card slot), and a "retina" resolution display (4k, BONUS!). The only thing on my original list that the MSP16 doesn't have is a 3:2 screen, but now I'm finding the 4K resolution to be an exceptionally adequate trade-off. I've been doing this computer art stuff for a very long time, and if you had told me, 25 years ago, that you could buy a computer with all these features for under $3000, I would have sold my car to get the money to buy it (don't tell the me of 25 years ago about the 2 high-resolution video-capable digital cameras or the wireless connectivity to a real-time world-wide knowledge dump where I can WATCH VIDEOS about other people's experiences with the same device). I definitely wouldn't recommend the MSP to everybody (some people love their keyboards), but this is definitely the device I've been waiting a long time for, and I'm absolutely loving it so far!
BTW, that's an SD Card slot on the MSP, not MicroSD as mentioned. The standard size is definitely a nice inclusion for professional photographers. I use mine for storage expansion and I work primarily off of the removable drive. Makes it easier to go from computer to computer quickly too.
I was a little surprised by your conclusion. I expected the Wacom to win, based on your last video, and it's been a while since you last mentioned the Surface, so I didn't expect it to fair as well as it did. I've had a few setbacks with my equipment, and out of frustration moved back to natural media, which I'm enjoying quite a bit. It is very much the tools you get used to. My favourite drawing tablet was an ancient Wacom ArtZ II tablet, and I found the Wacom tablets since then to be uncomfortably slick and hard. The closest experience has been the Surface Pro 4 pen on my SP3 (which now has a broken hinge). Should have traded it in for the SP4. C'est la vie. I am looking forward to the Surface Studio Pro and your Dial review (I keep wanting to call it a puck).
haha, i think I may have called it a puck in this video. *shrug* it looks like a puck.
I know, right?
I want a son of the two please
Thanks for making this video. It helps me think of what would be a good setup for my specific needs.
man, I really love your reviews,they are very informative and the little humor works well too. keep it up man
I agree with you that the iPad Pro is wholly a different animal and should be left out of this comparison, but I do want to mention it really quickly for a few little points.
One place where bringing it up is relevant is the straight edge test you showed. While the Surface and the Mobile Studio Pro produce inconsistent results from using a ruler on their screens, the iPad Pro and Apple Pencil take to it as naturally as paper and pencil. It works just as well. When I still had my iPad Pro (I had to sell it to keep my sister from being evicted from her home, and I miss it fiercely), I had a small, clear plastic pencil that I used occasionally, at least until I mastered Procreate's Quickline.
And that brings me to something I want to see in a future Windows tablet: a change to how the pen works. The nTrig and Wacom pens work on an old technology that has pretty much gotten as good as they are going to get. What Apple did in creating the pencil, by making their own implementation based on Bluetooth and some beneath the screen tricks, made for a more natural feel. The Apple Pencil needs no calibration, and just works.
If Microsoft could ditch nTrig and develop their own Apple like implementation, that would be my ideal device.
I agree. There are a few things I like about the n-trig and Wacom (ok one thing) I can see my cursor before the pen hits the screen. But in terms of accuracy, I think you're spot on.
The wacom jitter is fine you realy have to zoom in order to see it, the surfae pro jitter is unacceptable. i never seen the same test on an iPad but i wouldn't be supriced if the have a little bit of jitter too. I would like ot buy an iPad Pro if it wasn't ios ^^'
Just got a surface pro 6 and it’s amazing. It’s perfectly sized and I do school work all the time and it is crazy fast! Drawing is also perfect for me, minus the slight glide on the screen when drawing it’s an awesome experience
surface also has a micro-SD :)
Clement Kirton yes
Mobile Studio pro has that aswell, allthough it might be a full size SD card
I am always amazed how surface pro users didn't realize their surface device has a built in micro sd card reader because microsoft did a great job blending it on the back of the device and if you put a case on your surface pro since day one, probably explains why many never realized it as they ended up covering it up.
Well…MobileStudio has full-size SD slot bih ;)
brad, great video as always. People agonize over pen tech, but its amazing how quickly you adjust to different devices. I hope in 2017 you will focus a bit on work flows as well as technology. My biggest breakthrough in 2016 was getting an under table keyboard tray thus eliminating the awkward keyboard beside tablet reach. I found I really liked working with reference on a desktop monitor while drawing on a separate tablet. Merry Christmas
on your brush in Photoshop, Alt+shift+right click+drag is the best brush size solution. Drag left/right for size, and up/down for hardness.
Thank you so much for the comparison ...! I was totally confused with the options. now I know which to finally buy.
so which one u r gonna buy?
I have had the SP4 for over a year and landed a top of the line Surface Studio two weeks ago. I will say having them both does make for an incredible experience. Especially if you save your files to OneDrive so you can just pick up on the go. I do use Table Pro for on screen expresskeys and never work with a physical keyboard anymore. It took a bit getting use to but now that I have done so for about 12 months it just second nature. On the Studio the screen is so big that you can leave the virtual keyboard on the screen if you want. The Studio is really and incredible piece of hardware. One of my friends got the Wacom Cintiq remote and use it for his studio and love it.
The thing about the iPad Pro, it's not a laptop replacement. Which is why I have it, be I already have a laptop. But as soon as my laptop dies I am considering one of these two, thanks for the awesome review!
Difficult review for sure but you nailed it. I had a Cintiq Companion a while back and a Macbook Pro. Kept MacBook Pro and got the iPad Pro. Still missed the full apps. Got the SP4 and now I rarely use my iPad Pro (or Macbook) and I've been an Apple fanboy for over10 years. Portability is key for me with a device with full apps. Now, I'm looking forward to see if Microsoft rolls out a SP5 and new pen in 2017. Again, great job!
My dream for 2017 is that the SP5 comes with the new Wacom tech. I'm not holding my breath on that, but would be awesome.
thanks for the insight! i love my ipad pro and have a cintiq 13hd that i hook up to my laptop. ipad for meetings and portability, laptop and cintiq for when i come home to finish, edit, and export (but its also portable if needed for inhouse work). my biggest concern is just the hardware within the mobilestudio pro. at least with a laptop i get much higher performing specs and can replace in 3 to 5 years and keep my cintiq.
The parallax of the wacom stylus is due to the cheaper models having no tilt sensor, so the tablet thinks the "tip" is actually where the antenna is, while other models (like my Intuos for example) have this tilt sensor, and the tablet can give a precise position of the tip, in every angle the pen is tilted.
for changing the brush size on the surface (and wacom actually), use alt on a keyboard+right click (the pen button)
the reason why there is a higher pressure level (over 2048) is because of the opacity level range can be much higher than line thickness which are adjusted independently. if you don't have enough opacity level you will get banding effects or noticable strata from black (total opaque) to translucency.
Hi Brad, new subscriber here. Thanks for the Studio Pro review and this video! I am a 3D animator who's working on a short film submission and tried last year to do my storyboards on Surface Pro 3, with pretty bad results, especially in line quality. So now I am leaning towards a Studio Pro, but still mulling things through. In any case, your review is super well-done ! Will be checking the old ones as well.
Cool! Thanks for watching Matteo!
changing pen brush on the surface is easy in Photoshop and illustrator, the keybrinds are "{[" for smaller and "]}" for larger
I traded in my Wacom Cintiq 12WX a year and a half ago for a Surface Pro 3 (your videos were a great help when I was making that decision btw). Man oh man, I haven't looked back. Currently I'm using a Surface pro 4 for all my digital artwork. I can relate to some of your feelings. After working with a Cintiq I reeeeally missed the Express Keys, especially for changing brush sizes. For a while I used a bluetooth keyboard off to the side of my Surface, but I ended up buying a Wacom Express Key Remote, and boy howdy was that a game changer. It's way easer to carry in my bag than an extra bluetooth keyboard, It's got the Wacom touch ring, and mappable buttons...everything I missed from having a Cintiq. Once I got my buttons customized, and a tactile sense of where they were laid out, it just became second nature. It ended up being the perfect solution for me.
+Mr Z that's the same transition I made from the 12wx to the Surface, glad to hear it's working out. And I need to try the remote out sometime. The new cintiqs don't have physical buttons so I was thinking of getting a remote to go with it.
Btw the reason more pressure levels doesn't really make a difference is because of what pressure levels are. Basically, if you have 1024 pressure levels and you're using a 2048 pixel brush and you press down at a level of 968 it will make a circle which is 1936 pixels wide. But if it's 1024 pressure levels and you're using a 256 pixel brush and you push with, say, 437 pressure levels out of 1024, it will calculate to like 109.25 wide, but obviously it can't draw .25 pixels, so it just rounds down to 109.
Good and balanced comparison!
One thing I'd like to mention is Tablet Pro. You say you're looking for a quick and elegant way to changing brush size/color/etc, that's all offered by Tablet Pro's Artist Pad, and it's a lot more customizable. Then again, it's sold separately.
Also FYI, the Surface Pro does have a MicroSD card slot under its kickstand :)
I really need to play with that again, I know the creator has been working hard to make it better.
Really considering picking one of these up. Great video.
greatest frigging channel ever
Yea it is.
Wanted to say I enjoyed watching your review, I like it a lot how you roll with your mistakes and make them fun.
I can see a delay with both of them and trying to draw with that gets under my skin. I'll stick to my Intuos 3 and desktop until they iron these mobile units out more. I'd deal with it on a cheaper device but these cost too much to allow something fundamentally to be flawed.
Thank you so much for this review I'm actually thinking of buying the Wacom mobilestudio pro 16.. I had a Wacom bamboo that I bought like 6 years ago.. I think it's time for an upgrade hahaha you helped me out a lot! Thank you.
I tried surface pro i5 for 3d modeling, and its totally not worth it, It needs some buttons as wacom mobile studio pro or cintiq companion.
10:06 "So yeah were are looking at a huge jump in prices between these two devices" that rhymes
Hey Brad! You told that you like physical hotkeys and I thought give you a tip. You could get a remote which you can simply put on your desk or on your screen. Its called Xp pen remote and you can earn it on amazon. Its more than half of the price of wacoms remote control.
Best wishes!

The Surface Pro ALSO has an SD slot
I really should have known that but I had no idea. Thanks.
I was just about to write the same thing, but you beat me to it. :) (I actually just got a 64GB Class-10 card as an expansion for my SP4)
Your Welcome
Quick PSA! The stand of the Cintiq Companion is NOT compatible with the Mobile Studio Pro. The new MSP stand uses a new clasp (possibly magnetic? not sure yet) attachment method as opposed to the old (and terrible) tab&hook method. The new stand looks like it will be easier to use than the old one when it is released. I'm just surprised it wasn't ready by launch. Wacom should have included it in the box.
Good to know. The stand looks very similar to the newer one they have a little image of but it does look like the connector is a little different.
Excellent review. I am impressed and just subscribed.
Quality Review! You deserve more subs :)
+Demari Draws Thanks man, glad you're enjoying the videos!
@@thebradcolbow Well... you certainly got more subs!
I don't know.. the "One of them can't fly and the other one can't fly either" seemed to have hit home for me. The difference is right there. but they're also quite similar/different/similar/different.
Glad I own my Surface Pro 4. When I want to get fully creative anywhere, it is unbeatable.
The Surface Pro allows for on-screen plug-ins that enable hot-key based resizing of brushes with super ease. I never use the physical keys on any of Wacom's tablets anyway. I prefer either keyboard shortcuts or on-screen plug-ins that enable virtual keys on the touchscreen (AutoHotkey is the app I'm using for that). (Edit: by the way, as far as cost goes, don't get a tablet with only 128GB! You'll run out of space waaaaay too quickly. I'd recommend 512Gb or more. It's more important than 16Gb ram for sure.)
Best artist technology analysis/comparison channel out there. Thanks, Brad.
I have a ms surface pro 3 i5 8gb and I love it.
Surface pro also has a microsd slot
Nice review! I'm holding out for a Surface clone with a Wacom sensor. The Mobile Studio looks amazing but it's a crime that it doesn't come with a stand, literally no one will use it without one.
Yeah, it would make my year if the New Surfaces coming out this spring came with Wacom tech. I'm not holding my breath on that one but I'm curious to see what comes out of the latest Wacom collaboration.
I just got the Mobilestudio pro 16” and I’m trying to learn everything about it
I've had the surface for about a year now. I bought it so I could work in a shared studio in brussels, which I like a lot more than working at home.
But I'm typing this at home because I have deadlines and I have to draw on my 7 year old cintiq, because even after a year I just can't get used to the surface pro.
All my line work just looks bad on it. I suppose it's because I'm used to drawing rather big.
I'll probably end up selling it. I still don't know if I should buy a 16" mobile studio or try to find a second hand cintiq and cheap PC to leave at the studio.
Thanks for these video's, you're one of the few, if not only reviewer looking at the things I want to know about these devices.
Outstanding review I highly appreciate it! I'm fixing to invest into a Surface or Mobilestudio, and really am hammering on which one I should get art wise. This helps me greatly!
Are you saying Bebels? It's bezels
Now I'm unsure. For myself the idea I had was that for those occasions when I get illustration ideas "on the fly" I would have the Wacom Mobile Studio, as I often get "out of the blue" ideas when away from home & by the time I've gotten home, I've forgotten them. That way I could start the illos "in the field" & finish them at home on my main machine (I have a Cintiq 22HD touch). But the possibility of carrying so much for it (I do NOT want to carry a ton of crap) is the rub.
However the Surface pro appears to have all the "bells & whistles" already included. Also the battery life is much longer (the Wacoms battery, at best, seems to last 4 or so hours according to the vids I've seen. Wacom states that the life is 6).
Regardless, thanks for the info, it's given me some food for thought.
Wacom is worth every penny. I still use the same intuos 3 I've been using for 12 years, through school toting back and forth, through water spills. Still 100% functional and I use it almost daily. The only reason I'm considering an upgrade is because I've never had a drawing tablet that is also a screen and that would be nice, but I really do not need it because my intuos works so well still.
did you not notice that SP4 has a micro sd slot behind the kickstand?
I tried the surface pro at a shop recently, and there was one thing that I really didn't like about it. The actuation point. It didn't register the pen when it touched the screen lightly, you actually had to press down a bit to get a line. I find this really annoying when sketching. Making me sceptical to non-Wacom pens, and even the Wacom AES pen.
I have a Cintiq 13 and a ThinkPad Yoga 12. The Cintiq registers the pen on the lightest of touches. If you can feel the tip touching the screen, it will make a line. The Yoga with a Bamboo pen is ok, though it doesn't register super light touches. The tiny stylus that came with the Yoga on the other hand, is almost as bad as the Surface pen.
Great review. I have some additional thoughts, the Mobile Studio Pro also has the ability to disable touch. Some of the animation apps I use have sketchy palm rejection issues and being able to quickly disable touch is huge. Also I do have to take issue with the argument that you need a mouse for the Wacom but not the Surface. True the keyboard on the surface has a touch pad but its pretty crappy. A mouse is almost a non-issue. If I need a mouse I would need it on both bc I need accuracy or 3 buttons.
That's a really good point and not something I run into much but a lot of folks will.
Yeah, I do tend to plug in a mouse especially if I'm using it for extended periods of time, but I rarely take one with me on the go.
Hey Brad I had a video idea for you. I think it would be neat if you found an app like Astropad for that Samsung tab A and used it with your Mac as a graphics tablet. And maybe compare it to the iPad Pro and Astorpad? Love your videos!
Surface Pro, Clip Studio and the Tabmate.... its a wonderful combo.
i think the 13 in studio is the sweet spot for the mobile studio. i tested both of versions in person and i found the 4k res on the 16 to be excessive, plus the increase in weight it's just overkill for my uses at least. As for portability im not comfortable carrying a 2k + device with me everywhere. My ideal setup would be a mobilestudio 13 and an ipad pro to carry with me day to day.
Wacom still using that absolutely archaic charger port huh? You almost had me, Wacom. You almost had me.
Thanks man. What I needed.
Did you know that the Wacom express key remote works on the surface pro? That said I still miss having the keys on the tablet.
I'll have to try it sometime. I think it is USB powered and I currently use the USB port for me mouse.
the mobile studio is like those big gaming pc that has the option of portability when the surface is an ultrabook so you can't compare them at all you choose one for your needs that's it
Thank you for the great review. when comparing the surface pro 3 to mobile studio 16 does the drawing area feel drastically different in canvas area? I know that aside from size the aspect ratio and resolution can drastically effect the way it feels.
One thing I didn't like about the SP4 was the inability to change the stylus' buttons functions. I don't understand why they did that. A simple remap button feature shouldn't be so difficult to do right?
I work with 3D modeling and sculpture software, and we use a lot of right and middle clicks, so not being to port that workflow was a deal breaker. Too bad that I realized that after I bought it though.
Another feature I like about the Wacom products (Companion or Mobile Studio) is that you can attach them to a PC and use it just like a cintiq (second or mirror display).
Insanely informative! Great video!!!
thank you. One big difference for me, is the glass screen (surface pro) vs the matte screen (mobile studio pro). I just do not like the glare on glass screens. So definitely the mobile studio wins.
2:43 He looks & sounds like James McAvoy from the "Split" movie.
I heard that the remote key from wacom can be used on the surface pro to compensate that lack of keys.
+hame I need to try that sometime, a couple folks have mentioned that.
Wacom pens, from my intuos days, they fell apart when I used them. And they were a nightmare to replace, because there's so many and some they stopped making. One of the reasons I switched to iPad Pro and pencil. So far, they are both working very nice.
so informative! and you make it fun to watch given that i have a very short attention span! thank you!
Interesting to know that Surface Pro is doable as a drawing tablet. I might personally get a competitor of the Surface Pro, which is the Eve V. It's a lot cheaper option than the Surface Pro.
I'd get the Wacom version, but it's just expensive as well.
also just saw on 'the screen savers' its possible to upgrade the m.2 ssd and main ssd on the surface studio...which means significant upgrades...😂
Try to use Wacom express key remote with the surface pro 4........ it works like magic
Did you work on Broken Age? Your art style is great!
I didn't work on the game but I'm a big fan of its style.
Me too! I'll look up your stuff, I liked what I saw :)
So what will your final setup consist of? Mobile studio pro or surace pro 4 or both or will you also be purchasing the surface studio? ? Do tell us whether you will be reviewing the surface studio ?
Hey Brad.... Last weekend I picked up a Surface Pro 4 i5 8gb ram and I am LOVING it. Your reviews of the SP 3 and 4 really helped. I purchased a subscription to Autodesk Sketchbook desktop version and it runs perfectly. Coming from an Android tablet, hotkeys are new to me but, wow, they are really convenient. Anyways... keep up the great work! Love your humor btw!
bretking1978 download lazy nezumi for making smooth lines... so sweet
In your opinion what would be the most consistently reliable and specialised painting and lettering application?
Thabks.
And here I am, on the other side of the world locked at home trying to find the perfect solution for my needs. Been watching dozens of videos and still can't find what it's best for me. Mobile Studio pro is in the 2nd generation, the design it's outdated and does it still got all the problems the 1st gen had? Still expensive but it has Wacom tech that it's the best for professional artists... it's not very portable, battery still sucks... on the other side the "new" options start to look very appealing. For example the Surface Book 2, that I can install Photoshop and Illustrator, the design it's good, it's portable... but the pen-drawing experience I can't tell if it's ok for professional illustration... It's getting harder to find the perfect product these days... sigh.
Great video! I feel the same way about most factors, and am also a happy Surface Pro owner :)
I went and bought the Wacom Expresskey remote because I really wanted to lose the keyboard when drawing. A bit expensive but works great! (I did a review video on my channel if you really want to know)
You do realize a ruler's edge is not perfectly straight, especially if you use wooden ones. If you use a ruler to draw a line then of course you're gonna get wavy lines. The pen picks up the micro jitters caused texture of the ruler. A metal one would work better but could scratch your screen. Not sure if rubber ones exist but they would work best if they do.
important question. we can use wacom mobile studio pro as screen by connecting to desktop PC just like cintiq. can we use surface like that?
Thanks so much ! Very useful! :)
Wouldn't it be great when Dell decides to equip the qhd screen of the new Dell Inspiron 7000 with a digitizer like the one they used with the Dell Canvas?
I7 8th gen processor, gtx 1060 video card, 16 GB RAM, 520 GB ssd, improved battery life with a 17" qhd screen, for 1/3 of the price of a 16" Wacom MS Pro.
I don't mind the weight, just the waiting...
I just got a surfae pro 4 off ebay with the backlit keyboard. Just waiting for the surface pen (2017) to arrive in the mail so I can draw.
It was a great metaphor .....until you mentioned flying ;) Thanks for the video!
haha, it was a pretty good metaphor.
square brackets change brush size
It would be nice to see your thoughts on the Cintiq pro 16 vs Mobilestudio 13 with lowest specs. They both come with the same price tag. Do you want a 15,6” 4K Cintiq that you only can use with your computer, or a slow 13” Mobilestudio that you can use more freely without being connected to a computer but still use it as a normal Cintiq when connected to a computer? Freedom vs screen size?
This is a GREAT review!
Thanks!
THANK YOU
what I don't get is why Wacom keeps making these tablets widescreen. It makes them way ackward to use in portrait orientation. The surface people listened to that, but Wacom's last 4:3 screen was the 21ux, and they keep doing it again and again. I would get it if Wacom were trying to sell them for everyone, but they are precisely the ones selling specifically for artists.
Awesome video man I really really really enjoyed it. It was funny and informative great job!
I cant wait for the sp4
I know this is an old video, but watch out for Wacom. You can either get a great long-lasting product or something that will break within a year. The quality control specifically on the mobile studio pro seems to be terrible. It sucks because I loved my MSP. I've owned a surface pro 4 for around 6 years now and it still is kicking without a sign of stopping.
brad, did you know you can use the wacom express remote with both sp and msp
Paul - I was thinking of buying it for my SP4, do you have experience with it? If so, can you share your experience using it?
+Pesto hey Pesto. i have only seen videos on youtube about it. but I'm gonna get one in January for my surface pro 3
😀
+Pesto its the single thing that bugs the hell out of me about the surface pro devices...no buttons and no accessories...for artists that add these sorts of features... so if this remote thing works its like a fantastic awesome product and will on increase my work flow. 😂
Great review, i bought a Matebook by huawei, right now they are super cheap in 400 dollars, is a great alternative to an ipad pro, pen has 2048 levels of pressure by wacom, is really portable and screen is gorgeous, better color quality than a surface pro, but has less battery and processor, but ha sno fan, and is really cool for sketching.
Can you review the Asus T102? It's basically a cheaper alternative and I'm thinking of buying it .. need your opinion tho lol ur videos are literally the best
