I just bought a Cintiq Pro 13. One caution to the group if anyone is thinking of getting one...the connection to your computer is USB-C or, if you use their adapter, USB-A and a mini display port. Unfortunately I have neither the USB-C or the mini display port on my computer so I have to adapt to the HDMI port on my computer. Wacom has a couple of recommendations for adapters, neither of which are stocked locally. The cheapo adapter I got at OfficeMax doesn't work so I had to order one of the recommended ones. Just a heads up if you are thinking of getting the newest technology!

After several calls to Wacom and Systech it seems these display adapters are not bi-directional. Just because it fits doesn't mean it will work. The adapter must be set up for the output on your computer (HDMI in my case) and the input on Wacom's link (MDP). Another $100 and another week without my Cintiq. Lesson learned about the state of the art technology.
