just to make you people drool as I do right now.

I had a talk with someone inside of wacom last year and was forbidden to mention anything to the general puplic.
Can´t wait to test 3dc on it.

You won't.

 

GMA 4k chip, no proper dx/gl support on those things. Probably lot of crashes if you even can manage to launch it. Hell I can't even run  install maya on those things.

What do you mean by this Beatkitano? The Cintiq Companion (the one that runs Windows) doesn't have good specs for using 3D software like Maya and 3D-Coat? I was having a lot of trouble finding the exact hardware specs and if the graphics card supports CUDA/OpenGL. It is really sad if this thing can't run my favorite software packages well... :(

Apprently it's an Intel HD 4000 which are shit (for a lack of a softer word) for 3d software. Last time I tried to run maya on this on my fujitsu tablet pc it wouldn't even install (min requirements), I didn't try 3dc though but I certainly wouldn't get my hopes up since intel drivers are more on the ogl side of the business... and they still are terrible.

Oh, I see. Thanks Beat. It's a real shame that they put such a lousy graphics card in there! I guess this tablet pc is mostly aimed towards 2D artists or something...

It's fine for photoshop (and probably every 2d program out htere), and zbrush. For the rest no guarantee.

 

For 2D art and ZB, I'd probably go for a MS Surface Pro or the soon to be announced Surface Pro 2 instead, at $2400 for the Wacom pro tablet, it's way, way out there.

Overpriced, as every wacom products but you forget pressure sensitivity, and I think there's none on surface (and if there is it's probably a penabled tech with only 256 levels).

Without pressure you've got an ipad with better hardware and win 8 and that's not a cool setup for this use :x

Hi BeatKitano,

The Surface Pro levels of pressure is 1024 with palm rejection. There was a driver issue at launch I beleive that made it not pressure sensitive at all, has long been resolved with MS implementing compatibility with the Wintab API.
