Remember when Wacom tablets were supposed to deliver that?

The iPad/Pencil combo knocks it into a cocked hat.

The kicker is that the Cintiq is around the same price (or more), and is less ergonomic.

iPads can be a bit more ergonomic than Cintiqs, but if you can deal with the pen-screen disconnect then classic non-screen tablets are significantly more ergonomic than either, on top of being significantly cheaper. YMMV though, some people need that pen-screen connection.

Yeah. Cintiq isn’t much use when you’re sitting in a field in the middle of nowhere sketching.
