Of course, if Apple were to ever introduce a larger iPad, like a hypothesized iPad Pro, that'd be a delightful option too. But I see iPads get used all the time to create beautiful works by artists, illustrators and designers, so I don't think it would be that much of a detriment to use as a Mac input device.
Obviously the 9.7-inch diagonal dimensions of an iPad Air might make for a small workspace for the average illustrator. So why not make the iPad work more like the Cintiq, and expand the arsenal of artist's tools on the Mac? Too cramped? The funny thing about Cintiq tablets is how much of that work is already being done on the iPad. But these are incredibly specialized devices designed to appeal to a relatively small niche of professionals who truly need this sort of capability.
Step it up to 22 inches and be prepared to fork over $2,499, or $2,999 for a 24-inch version. A color display that you can work on as intuitively as if it were a blank canvas or piece of paper in front of you.Ĭintiq displays are not cheap - $999 gets you the 13-inch model. What happens when you connect them, and install the accompanying software, is rather spectacular: You add to your Mac an integrated digital easel. The devices connect to your Mac using a combination of HDMI, DisplayPort or DVI-I (for the video signal, depending on the model) and USB (for the input signal). Wacom cornered the market on touchscreen tablets years ago with the Cintiq brand.
