The Wacom Cintiq 12WX

Traditional drawing tablets make you watch the results of your stylus’ adventures on a disconnected monitor. Not the Cintiq 12WX. This Cintiq crams a 12.1-inch, 1200-by-800 pixel LCD underneath the touch-sensitive surface so that the digital ink seems to flow directly from the stylus mimicking the feel of a sketchbook. Weighing in at only 4.4 pounds, the 16-inch wide device only has a single cable running to the breakout box that has the power, monitor, and USB plugs. If you are a pro on a small budget or an enthusiast with money to spend, this is one hell of a nice little tablet.  [$999 @ wacom]
