We don't like: the price or the weight (at least for travel). We like: the display and screen combo, the Pro Pen 2 and battery life. In reality they are a cheap addition for Wacom and it's rare that you'll want to use a two-plus kilo, 16-inch machine as a camera, especially when you can use the bluetooth connection or SD slot to quickly move files over. The cameras are functional, but nothing special. Even if you remove the excellent display and pen capability, the remaining PC is still pretty good for a mobile machine. The two models cater to most users’ needs, with 8-16GB RAM, 256-512GB SSD, bluetooth, Wi-Fi and even GPS is on offer. This isn't too far from the advertised six hours for this kind of machine, and should comfortably cover most on-the-move work. Real world use sees an easy four–five hours of battery life, depending on the task. This offering will be of more use to some than others, of course. Wacom does offer some good accessories, such as a breakout box that lets you connect to a third-party computer, opening up use as a standard Cintiq. That said, as a professional device it’s likely that some users will already have their own drawing board setup. This feels a bit cheap considering the initial outlay - and the stand lacks the innovation of solutions from cheaper tablets, although it does fit in with the model Wacom uses across its product range.
Our main gripe with the MobileStudio Pro is that the adjustable stand is an optional extra. However, if you're a 3D artist, or have use for such a peripheral, the fact that it’s built into the Wacom MobileStudio Pro might be a bonus – especially considering it comes bundled with Artec Studio 11 software, making this an out-of-the box solution. The higher spec model has a 3D scanning camera, which some users will ignore, or at the most try out a handful of times. This GPU choice is paired well with the i5 or i7 CPU RAM, depending on which model you’re using. The contrast and brightness of the display are above average, powered by good quality Nvidia Quadro GPU, perfectly suited to pro 2D and 3d work.
