For now, it's yet another competitor chipping away at Wacom's dominance of the art market. If Artisul were to bundle the stand or lower the D13 price a bit more, the pen display would qualify as a Cintiq-killer. According to Tso's post on TabletPCReview forum, eraser ends were a "competitor patent but has recently expired."Īt $599 + $46 for the stand, the Artisul D13 is an excellent value, but the $150 difference for the Wacom 13HD may not be enough to convince artists to break away from the better-known brand. It would have been nice for Artisul to supply a VGA connector option so that compatibility with a wider range of PCs could be insured.Īrtisul Founding Designer and US Sales Manager Winnie Tso revealed recently that the company is working on a new generation device that they're calling the Artisul Pencil family which will feature an eraser end. However, I don't own any HDMI-equipped devices that aren't penabled.

Another USB cable runs from the device to your PC and an HDMI output from your computer feeds the D13's mini HDMI port. If your PC's ports are on the opposite side of your dominant hand, you'll be assured of a small rat's nest of wires snaking across your desk.Īlthough I was able to run the Artisul while attached to my N-Trig equipped Sony VAIO Flip 15A, it's not ideal to attach it to a device with its own pen drivers, as conflicts are bound to occur, especially with Wintab software. This is a drawback with the Cintiq as well, but the tangle is exacerbated by a power plug that requires an international adapter and then connects to the D13 via USB. My biggest issue with the D13 is the tangle of cables required to hook it up.
