According to Wacom, it has better pen performance and ergonomics. The two back touch-strips have me intrigued./p
pThey say their new Grip Pen has their new Tip Sensor technology that requires near-zero pressure to start painting, which is great to get a more natural feeling. It also has 2048 levels of pressuremdash;doubling the previous model. The tablet itself has been redesigned, with eight programmable keys on each side of the tablet, over the bezel./p

pThe coolest addition, however, are the two touch strips on the sides of the tablet, on the iback/i of the bezel itself. These are like mini-trackpads, which can be used for four functions depending on the application. You change the function with your thumb using the round button on the front of the tabletmdash;a LED displays the selected functionmdash;and use your middle or forefinger to manipulate the touchpad up and down. For example, you can use it to control the variation of a brush, then click the round button, and use it to control the speed of the airbrush, while using the pen with your other hand. Smart. Can’t wait to try it./p

pThe tablet display allows you to position the screen at any angle between 10 and 65 degrees, and it can be detached to use any VESA-compatible mount. I would definitely want to have one mounted on a hydraulically-assisted arm, to be able to position it in front of my main monitor at any time./pbr clear=”both” style=”clear: both;”/
