Trex Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 Hi! I'm thinking of getting a Cintiq 13HD and basically wonder what kind of computer I'd need? Like does it work with basically any moderate laptop or do i need something more powerfull? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firstdefence Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 What budget do you have? Do you prefer Mac or Windows? Desktop or Laptop? What apps do you use? 4GB of Ram or more, dedicated graphic card with >= 512MB, Internet access for drivers. I'm a Mac fanboy so I'd go with a MacBook or iMac, If Windows is your thing, look at Dell Laptops. The main control factor here is budget.

Is this a general issue or specific to the 13HD? Quote AP, AD & APub user, running Win10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's get it straight: You need a PC that have HDMI and USB (for 13HD, 13 PRO needs usb 3 type c, and display port), at least tablet have nothing to PC - this is just a pointing hardware and work's just like a monitor. More powerful machine let You work more efficient with large format works - and it's based on my own thoughts. My spec: Wacom Cintiq PRO 13, 22HD Touch and some other brands like HUION. PC: i7 4790K, 32 GB of Ram, and Geforce 1080 (non ti version), and it works just fine with large canvas sizes and many vector objects.

Cintiq is a display so why would it not? 5 hours ago, firstdefence said: 4GB of Ram or more I would say 16 GB is minimum for serious work.
