With the Cintiq Companion 2, you can take the artistic power of Painter, Photoshop and ZBrush anywhere you like.
Usually, a review is designed to help you know which from a range of competing products you should choose. That’s not really the case here, however, because the Cintiq Companion 2 doesn’t actually have any competitors.

The Wacom Cintiq Companion 2 is a worthy successor to the first generation Companion. Wacom has incrementally pushed the design of the Companion in a lot of great ways.

This model had 8GB of ram which allows the use of 3D sculpting and painting programs as well as painting in Photoshop. — read more

Cintiq Companion 2 i7 Review
In 2013 Wacom introduced the first of its new mobile tablets, the Cintiq Companion. This originally came in two flavours, one having an Android based operating system and the other using the Windows 8 operating system.
Myself, like many others, picked our jaws off the floor and then tried to figure out how we were going to pay for our own mobile Cintiq.
Unfortunately, after spending a month with one my credit card ended up staying inside my wallet. As great as it was to continue working with a Cintiq away from the office a few design choices made this sound better in theory than reality, as you can read in my review.
So when Wacom announced the Cintiq Companion 2 I admit that I got a little excited. My credit card was beaming as it looked forward to being released from its leathery prison and I looked ahead to a summer of working in the garden. — read more
