Wacom ACK627K Stand, for Mobile Studio Pro 13" & 16" (Dthw1320 & Dthw1620)

this is the next advancement up from the Cintiq Companion 2, which I reviewed last year. The MobileStudio Pro is an amazing piece of hardware - a full-featured Windows tablet made for creative professionals, and I think the name suits it very well.The MobileStudio Pro comes with:•Wacom Pro Pen 2• Pen case with 3 replacement nibs, color rings and nib removal tool• Pen holder• AC Power Adapter and power cable• Quick Start Guide• Cleaning clothThe look and feel of the MobileStudio Pro is excellent. It's really very nicely designed, and feels quite sturdy. The unit weighs just over 3 pounds and is comfortable to carry around. The large rubber grips on the back are also very nice.The screen is wonderful, with a display resolution of 2560×1440 pixels (WQHD), and a matte finish that doesn't compromise color. Speaking of color, it is accurate to 96% Adobe RGB.The MobileStudio Pro also comes with 8-megapixel rear and 5-megapixel front cameras. The 512GB versions of both the 13 and 16 inch, come with the Intel RealSense 3D camera on the back, which is especially cool.One side of the MSP sports the volume control, orientation lock, sliding power switch, headphone jack, and MicroSD slot (which is great for extra storage). The other side of the MSP has three USB-C ports and a Kensington security slot. The pen holder that comes with the MSP fits into this slot, allowing you to slide the pen in it for storage, or stand it vertical while you are working.If you're already familiar with the Wacom Pro Pen, this next generation pen looks and feels pretty much the same. However, the big difference is the amount of pressure sensitivity. Wacom boasts 8,192 levels of pressure sensitivity, as compared to the previous pen's 2,048. While I didn't notice the difference right away, after I made adjustments and calibrated my pen strokes in familiar programs, I soon found it was, indeed, quite a bit better. And I think you would really notice the difference in pressure in certain cases, as I thought it was especially noticeable in making really light strokes.A further big deal with the MobileStudio Pro and Pro Pen 2 is the absence of parallax (that noticeable gap between pen tip and screen). Now, as long as you calibrate the pen, you won't see parallax – brilliant! Overall, drawing/painting is very accurate with the MSP and I didn't experience any lag. Also, the etched glass surface has just enough texture to give you that real pen on paper feel.ExpressKeys are a fantastic way to improve your workflow with Wacom tablets, and the MSP shines here as well. There are six ExpressKeys and a touch ring, which is fantastic for quick brush sizing. The touch ring itself also has four customizable positions as well as a home button. On the 512GB models, the home button is also a fingerprint sensor.The ExpressKeys are fully customizable, even to the point of being program-specific. You can even call up on-screen controls as well.Another thing I love about the MobileStudio Pro - the name itself. It really indicates what this device is all about, where the Cintiq Companion name, to me, only indicates portability. You can do some serious work with the MobileStudio Pro. No matter what kind of digital artist you are, or what kind of work or creativity you unleash on it, the MSP is going to take it.I loaded up several programs to put the MSP through its paces, including: Adobe After Effects, Photoshop, Corel Painter 2017, CorelDRAW x8, and Cinema 4D. Whether engrossed in painting projects, editing video, or several things at once, the MSP just rocks. And, the fans never get loud. In fact, they are so quiet most of the time, I can't even tell they are running, until a more processor-intensive operation lets me know. This is a huge difference from the Cintiq Companions.Battery life is good. It is listed as up to six hours on the Wacom site. Of course, this will always vary considerably with the work you are doing, as well as any battery-saving settings you choose. I've managed almost 5 hours during creative work, with screen brightness turned down a bit.The MobileStudio Pro models with the RealSense 3D camera also come with a one-year license for Artec 11 Ultimate 3D scanning software. Though it's not something I would use, I made some attempts at testing the RealSense camera...and I certainly need practice. I did find out that the camera doesn't do so well with objects that are black.The Wacom MobileStudio Pro is a fantastic, and highly capable machine. Comparing this to the earlier Cintiq Companions, I think Wacom did a wonderful job. It's lighter, thinner, and...quieter! The addition of the Pro Pen 2, with greatly improved sensitivity, sweetens it even more.The only real problem I have with the MobileStudio Pro is the lack of certain accessories, like a stand, or a case. These can be purchased separately through Wacom, but I would've liked to have seen at least the inclusion of a stand. Also, if you are looking for the ability to use the MSP tethered to another computer, you will need to purchase the Wacom Link adapter to do so. So, it's the additional purchases after the major purchase that bothers me.Price, of course, is always an issue of great debate with most Wacom products I've reviewed, and I can certainly understand this. However, in my opinion, if you are a creative professional who relies heavily on dependable tools, you will generally be willing to pay for such. And, the Wacom MobileStudio Pro was designed for the creative professional. There is nothing on the market that comes as close to perfection in creative workflow, with as much precision and control. And this is why Wacom continues to be a market leader in this area - it's what they do.That said, there are still a number of options with this line that might fit more comfortably in the budget, without sacrificing creative needs. It is most certainly worth exploring.

Just wanted to re-write my review for this little bugger, since my opinion of it has significantly changed over the last 6 months.The longer I use it now a huge (4-5 square inches) area of the screen is becoming continually more permanently discolored, right in the middle of my drawing area. This is also the second one of these that I've had and both have had significant issues; the first one wouldn't turn on at all, and (read for more info below) the second one took me more than a month of constant calls to Wacom to even receive it in the first place.I'm really starting to suspect that many of the issues with the device are because of Microsoft and their incessant need to (very badly) micormanage every aspect of a user's PC. Drivers seem to mostly work, but I can't remember the last time I got through a day without Windows Update taking up half the computer cycles, and if not Windows Update then it is their infuriating background antimalware service, which seems to have lost the option to tell it to stop hogging the CPU when I'm in the middle of working. Photoshop routinely freezes while I'm in the middle of work for no other reason than that Windows 10 decided it needed to babysit me and make sure none of those scary computer cycles are available for me to use on my computer. Regardless of how I as a customer feel about it, these issues are not necessarily the fault of Wacom since they're terrible decisions being made by a group of monkeys over at Microsoft, however Wacom is slow and notoriously bad at supporting their customers or alleviating the issues that they do have control over.Let's just say there are a lot of problems I could deal with on an artist tablet, but with a huge discolored area of pixels and near-constant input and display issues, my love affair with this tablet, and Wacom in general, is well and truly over. I will DEFINITELY select from Wacom's growing list of competitors in the future. I tend to be very forgiving of technical and customer service issues, but Wacom seems to be in a class of it's own.**read below for part of my original review in January 2016**And woe betide you if you have some kind of issue and you have to deal with Wacom's customer service. Through a series of unfortunate events I ended up ordering one of these devices directly through Wacom and not, as I should have done, through Amazon. After 4 long weeks of calls to Wacom and their general unhelpfulness, they finally sent me the tablet, which had been severely damaged in shipping, and the processor fan was loose and buzzing.I informed tech support right away, but it still took 2 more weeks of me calling to bother them to finally receive an RMA to return the device. If you don't end up having to contact Wacom tech support though, you should have relatively smooth sailing.I did through the course of things order and receive another one through Adorama Camera and had none of the issues that I had when dealing directly with Wacom, so in general my advice would definitely be to order through a third party and not directly from Wacom.Some things I wish I'd known about the device beforehand (though they don't necessarily change my opinion of it much); the tablet itself charges with one of the USB-C ports, so if you are plugged-in you will only have 2 ports available. Since I am using both a Bluetooth mouse and keyboard, I rarely have anything now that needs to be connected through the USB, except sometimes an adapter for my thumb drive. I would not have otherwise chosen to move towards USB-C on my own yet, but I think it will become easier to deal with as the technology becomes more ubiquitous. The slot for the SD card is definitely going to come in handy, since now 512 GB SD cards are pretty readily available (and even 1 TB cards soon) so there is actually some room to expand your space if you are the type of person like me who ends up using a lot of memory.So TL;DR: the tablet is the best of the best, once you've got it in your hands and it's working.

I can understand why some people might have a difficult time adjusting to their height, but sadly I'm short LOL So the adjustments fit very well with my height when I sit and with my current set up.

Pensé muchísimo en comprarlo pero la verdad fue una muy buena inversiónLo malo es que luego se cae pero es un buen producto y muy bien diseñado

I am buting this table for animation 3D and 2D. My fear was slow 3D performance, but I have no issuw so far everything workd fine. 2D is amazing honestly, only issur would be batterie time, roughlt 3h unplug.

Very sturdy and feels safe. Good product but should be included with the cintiq

I have recently purchased this and I love it. I faced no problems when using it. I did a quick sketch in Medibang Paint to test it and it turned out lovely. The battery life last around 4.5 hours to 5 depending on what im doing and the brightness level.
