Okay I’ve been wanting one of these Companions forever, but I have a wonder…Can you hook up the Companion to say, a desktop setup to use as a standard Cintiq, or is it seperate only. Also, do you use an external HD or the one on the tablet?
It's a self-contained computer of it's own, so you can't really hook it up to another computer and use it like a regular cintiq. It would be like using a laptop as a dual monitor for another laptop (I'm sure someone is going to be all WELL ACTUALLY- but whatever, I don't care, the average person is not going to use a functioning laptop as a monitor for another functioning computer), but it does have the mini hdmi port necessary to hook up another display so you COULD theoretically hook up another normal cintiq to it and have a dual-screen-cintiq setup.
As for the hard drive, I just use the one on the companion, it's more than 500 gigs of storage space. For files I want to move between computers, I just use dropbox.
