Wacom Mobile Studio 16 Two Weeks Of Use.

Wacom Mobile studio 16 two weeks of use.

As some of you may remember my great struggle of Surface Book, I was pretty much disgusted from day 1 by it.

Well With Wacom Mobile studio the experience has been very different, from first moment I laid my pen on it, to this day it’s been a blast. There’s no hitches, the pen doesn’t toss surprises your way, the drawing feel is great, pressure feels much more intuitive and in control, and the light touch sketching works even better than any Wacom I’ve tried before.

The benefits of surface book are there with Wacom too, but the GPU utilization is much more effective, the device doesn’t heat up as much, and is silent, much more silent than surface book. The drawing surface is anti-glare and the Wacom shortcut keys are great on the side of the device, this is how a drawing tablet PC should be made! 

The 4K UHD display has amazing color reproduction and even more impressive it becomes when you realize there’s no back light bleed at all that I can see.

Performance is great even for gaming, runs even modern DOOM at a reasonable frame rates of 60, to where it is capped. Though I don’t intend to be using this device for gaming, I gave the GPU a test.

Now, the only minor downside of this device is the touch function which is a bit unpredictable, the touch detection is very sensitive so sometimes it’s easy to swipe your view to the side or poke another program up from the task bar when fiddling around with it. But touch can be deactivated and it might just be a matter of getting used to it, the palm rejection and touch deactivation is also automated for when the pen is near the display.

All in all amazing device that just oozes quality when you hold it in your hand. Feels solid enough to be used as melee weapon and every detail is well finished.

I would definitely recommend this for any artist. It’s pricey, but unlike with my experiences with Microsoft and Apple products, this cost feels justified to last detail and spec the device boats.

I look forward to never having to take involuntary breaks from drawing ever again. Fuck you health, I have art to do!
