And if you&#8217;re a Mac person, no worries there either, because you can plug it in to your Mac or PC and use it as a connected tablet.<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/d3ui957tjb5bqd.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/2015\/05\/04054540\/cintiq-3.jpg.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"680\" height=\"453\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-24360\"><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/d3ui957tjb5bqd.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/2015\/05\/04054543\/cintiq-5.jpg.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"680\" height=\"453\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-24359\"><br \/>\nIt comes with a battery-less Pro Pen that has 2048 pressure levels to give you that perfect touch. Plus, there&#8217;s a friction to the screen that makes it feel like you&#8217;re drawing on paper, not pushing a rubber nib across glass. And, like your Cintiq monitor, you have customizable shortcuts, too.<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/d3ui957tjb5bqd.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/2015\/05\/04054547\/cintiq-4.jpg.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"680\" height=\"453\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-24357\"><br \/>\nPrices on the Cintiq Companion 2 start at $1,299 for the Intel Core i3 64GB model, and go up to $2,499 for the Intel Core i7 with 512GB. Now that may seem like a lot of money at first to some, but considering that it&#8217;s also a full-fledged Windows PC running Windows 8.1, well, that&#8217;s not too shabby a deal.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p><em><a href=\"http:\/\/kevinwhipps.com\">Kevin Whipps<\/a> is a writer and editor based in Phoenix, Arizona.
