If the plug moves/rotates slightly, I lose power (and the brightness goes down a notch). Usually for half a second or so. This happens a lot if I sit with the device in my lap. I have to sit perfectly still to avoid it.<br /><br />Does this happen to you too, or have I just been unlucky with my device?Torgohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12588717787767600727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4234523364262258161.post-6575397159726597912013-10-13T04:33:31.580-07:002013-10-13T04:33:31.580-07:00Oh, excellent, this helps a lot, thanks a million!...Oh, excellent, this helps a lot, thanks a million! And I love your answer :) Because I really want to by this device but cant't afford to buy both (laptop&cintiq). Now I know what is my choice! Just have to get the keyboard in case I'll be doing some occasional work in InDesign when traveling, mostly I'll be probably sketching though.

You're t...Hi Heidi!! :D Thanks for the message! You're totally right that if you got a Companion you wouldn't need a laptop...basically this is a laptop :D It has a full version of Windows 8 and has a 500GB harddrive and 8GB of RAM. It can absolutely run inDesign...I actually animated in Photoshop on it today, plus ran AfterEffects to do some composting and I was really impressed at how well it performed. Like, really impressed o_o I didn't notice and lagging or memory issues at all, it was great!<br /><br />The only thing I would think about in terms of non-drawing programs like InDesign and AfterEffects is that the touch-screen is a little awkward to use (as least for me) the screen resolution is very high, so the menus are a bit tiny and can be clumsy to click with you fingers. In that instance tho, I just put it on the stand and use the keyboard/mouse so it's just like a normal laptop setup and everything works great! :D<br /><br />Last note, you could do all the things you're talking about on the Cintiq Companion, but could NOT on the Companion Hybrid. The Hybrid runs Android so any apps you have are made for mobile and not the full version.<br /><br />Hope that helps a bit!Nate Swineharthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05415290676597360501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4234523364262258161.post-74339590540701209982013-10-12T02:35:01.623-07:002013-10-12T02:35:01.623-07:00Hi Nate! Thanks a lot for you review, it was very ...Hi Nate! Thanks a lot for you review, it was very helpful. I'm just pondering whether to buy a laptop or a cintiq companion as I'll be going abroad for a month. I'd need to use Photoshop, Illustrator & InDesign (CC) and I heard that you could even use InDesign on cintiq. So it starts to seem like I wouldn't really need a laptop at all.. What you think, would you still need it or would the companion do the job :)? Thanks & greetings from Finland!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07568987966553093047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4234523364262258161.post-32972122218104046942013-10-10T22:03:28.093-07:002013-10-10T22:03:28.093-07:00I've not heard or felt the fan at all, actuall...I've not heard or felt the fan at all, actually.
