Wacom Cintiq Companion Compatibility

Has anyone used a Wacom Cintiq Companion with Blender? I am looking to get a laptop or tablet so I can model/draw on the go. I am wondering if the graphics card (Intel HD Graphics 4000) will be enough for normal modelling and scene handling without being slow. It wouldn’t be my main computer so I am thinking the specs would be good enough, but I am wondering if anyone else has already tried before I spend the money.

So anyone that has used it with Blender, would you suggest it?

Hey Brian!

I just got the Cintiq Companion 2 - primarily for illustration purposes. I can run Blender on it and it handles surprisingly well. The only issue I have is with the interface. I’m still trying to figure out the best set up but it’s painfully difficult to use since 95% of how I work in blender is with keyword commands.

If anyone out there has any experience with the best set up for the Blender interface, let me know.

I’m playing around with Mudbox since the interface seems to be geared to a tablet but I’d rather use Blender.
