It has 4 feet on the back so you can rest it on a table when drawing. The Cintiq Companion 2 has a very large bezel by design (you have places to grip it and rest your hand, and space for the various ExpressKey quick controls).
As a Windows tablet PC it looks very strange, but as a drawing tablet, it looks perfectly normal. It looks like a Wacom Cintiq (a display you can draw on) and the USB Wacom tablets that you draw on (with no display). So what does being built for art mean? The Cintiq Companion 2 looks nothing like a Windows tablet PC, though it can do the same tasks. The Cintiq isn't something you'd buy as a normal portable PC, it's purpose built for art. So why buy a Cintiq when Microsoft seems to have bona fide hits with the Microsoft Surface Pro 4 and Surface Book, and Lenovo's offering compelling ThinkPads that use Wacom's own technologies? Ergonomics for art work and Wacom's attention to the art community. The Cintiq Companion 2 is not unlike Windows tablet PCs that have been around since circa 2001 and are now best represented by the Microsoft Surface line, various Lenovo ThinkPad Yogas and Vaio Z models. They supply the brains, ports, memory and storage. The Wacom Cintiq Companion and now the Cintiq Companion 2 are a further development: they are actual PCs in a tablet form factor. The Cintiq was a leap ahead-Wacom had been making tablet PC digitizers (displays you could write and draw on) for several years, so why not make an accessory tablet that was an actual display you could directly draw on. Many pros got used to drawing at a remove, looking at their creation on screen, while drawing on the tablet. It was a vast improvement over Wacom pen tablets that connected via USB and acted as remote drawing boards, not unlike a trackpad that worked with Wacom's digital pens rather than your finger. In Chief (twitter: years ago, the Wacom Cintiq was the only game in town if you were serious about digital art. What's Not: Heavy, stand is awkward and flimsy. What's Hot: Excellent pen experience for art with little jitter, smooth flowing lines and great palm rejection. Wacom Cintiq Companion 2 Editor's rating (1-5):
