This professional Wacom drawing tablet with a 4K screen has its price slashed on day two of Prime Big Deal Days
Table of Contents
Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days, otherwise known as October Prime Day, is taking place between October 7-8. That means there isn’t long left until the whole event comes to a close. There are plenty of deals to go around, and one perfect for creative professionals, or maybe some particularly well-off students, is the Wacom Cintiq Pro 17 with a 15% discount.
The high-end touch screen tablet is 15% off for Amazon Prime members exclusively until the event is over. It’s safe to say that the price tag is still pretty hefty, coming in at $2,124.95 (down from $2,499.95), but anyone familiar with these professional drawing tablets will know the kind of quality Wacom delivers, so it’s nice to see them featured in this month’s Prime Day tablet deals.
Wacom Cintiq Pro 17
Features of the Wacom Cintiq Pro 17
This 17″ touch screen tablet is built with professional design work in mind. Fitted with a display of its own (this isn’t typical on entry-level drawing tablets), here are some of the best features on the Wacom Cintiq Pro 17.
Customizable & vibrant display
The graphics tablet has 8 ExpressKeys and adjustable on-screen menus for you to customize. On top of that, the multi-touch and pen gestures have been improved in this generation. The screen itself is an impressive 4K 120Hz display, which allows for “near-zero latency” and an overall smooth experience.
Excellent precision for professionals
Wacom Cintiq Pro 17 ships with the Pro Pen 3, featuring 8,192 levels of pressure sensitivity, three side switches, customizable pen grips, and adjustable weight and center of balance. When paired with the impressive display, it looks to be the complete package.
All the extras you need
Included in this offer is the Pro Pen 3, two additional grips, three extra button plates, a balance piece, ten replacement pen nibs (and nib remover), along with a USB-C cable and power cable/adapter as you’d expect. It’s also compatible with Windows, macOS, and Linux devices.
Who is this Prime Day deal best for?
Unsurprisingly, this deal is best suited for creative professionals looking for one of the best drawing tablets on the market. The 10-point multi-touch and 8,192 levels of pressure sensitivity allow for incredible accuracy, while having a high-resolution 4K display on your drawing tablet can be a boon for productivity. Likewise, this would make for an excellent choice of tablet for animation work.
More Prime Day tablet deals
When it comes to tablet deals, we’re more focused on ‘regular’ tablets rather than those specialized for drawing. Think iPads or Samsung Galaxy Tabs. In any case, here are the latest, as Prime Day almost comes to an end.
