Has anyone used a Wacom Cintiq Pen Display with Maptitude?
They are a bit pricy but come in 12, 22, and 24 inch models. I've been very disappointed in my laptop search. The largest Wacom screen is only 13.3 inches, a bit smaller than my 2007 14-inch Gateway. LG introduced their PenTouch plasma displays in August of 2011. They had three models from 50 to 60 inches. I just checked and all three models have been discontinued. I looked into them a bit but was concerned about the lack of precision of the pen input as well as latency. I have some type of repetitive injury with severe pain around my thumb and am looking for an alternative to heavy mouse use. --- In [email protected], Aniruddha Banerjee wrote: > > Hi David, > > I've used a Lenovo tablet (pen) laptop for the last 8 years.
