Poor Cintiq is losing more and more market share with these sort of products.


I haven't seen any sort of mass exodus from Wacom in the pro market yet. Wacom makes highly specialized hardware for graphics professionals. I don't think any fly by night piece of prosumer hardware is going to make them lose TOO much sleep.


Additionally, I think they'd likely be far more concerned if Apple released an iMac like this (which I wish they would). Reason being, most graphics pro's are already on iMacs and if they suddenly had the drawing capabilities and form factor built into their go-to system, they might have less of a need for an additional piece of hardware (Cintiq, Intuos). Apple is known to pay attention to the kind of details artists care about in implementation.


who builds the touch/stylus technology for MS? I thought the earlier surfaces had wacom technologies inside?


They bought Wacom's competitor when they launched the portable Surface; I think it was called Ntrig.
