Hi, I'm an industrial design engineering student and I'm looking for a drawing tablet. I'm going to use it for product sketches and maybe some 3D work. Occasionally, I'd like to take the tablet with me to the university. I already know how to make pretty decent sketches on paper, but digital sketching is new to me.
Via my study organization I can get the following discounts on either the Wacom Intuos Pro M or the new Wacom Cintiq:
-Intuos Pro M - €275 - normal price: €333
-Cintiq 16 - €549 - normal price: €599
I'm not sure which I should get. I would imagine that sketching on a screen would be way more intuitive than sketching on a separate pad, but on the other hand, I've heard that some people easily get used to this.
Another thing I'm worried about is the portability. The Cintiq weighs 1.9kg (4.19lbs) and needs a separate power adapter, while the Intuos weighs only 0.7 kg (1.5lbs) and can be used with a single USB-C cable. However, the thing is, I will only need to bring the tablet with me occasionally. The coming 6 weeks I need to bring it with me once a week (for my digital sketching classes). After those classes I will only have to bring it with me when I really need it, which probably is only once in a few weeks or even months.
I'm not sure which I should pick. Should I get the Cintiq, which is probably way easier to sketch, but harder to transport? Or should I get the Intuos, which I'm not sure if I can get used to, but is also easier to take with me?
Not sure if this is the right subreddit, but any input is greatly appreciated!
