Do we have a Cintiq tablet for drawing? I have a friend who may be interested in joining if we have some drawing tech that he’s looking to use.

There’s a tablet monitor in CA Annex that just itching to be better used. #infrastructure and Creative Arts have refused to upgrade the computer *edited - SOFTWARE * it’s attached to, though, so it’s probably not in its best location. Still, the computer isn’t awful. Just not as consistent as it could be.
More edit
It’s running open with a version of Windows 7 even though moving to 10 wouldn’t cost a thing, and also one of the oldest licenses of Adobe Creative Suite at the space which probably doesn’t support the tablet as well.

We have a Yiynova MSP19u, which is a Cintique competitor that we purchased 4 years ago.
19" screen, 1440 x 900 resolution, 4000 lpi pen resolution, 2048 levels pressure sensitivity.

I was pushing for new computers - so don’t say we refused - that’s twisting things up.
Thank you & goodnight

The computer isn’t bad at all. It’s an AMD FX 8350 cpu (8 cores at 4Ghz) with 16Gb of RAM, and a Radeon HD 7700 video card. Not the newest and baddest, but still has plenty of horsepower and elbow room for general graphics work.

I put in a request to upgrade and clean it up, and both infrastructure and the new CA chair said no. I never thought we needed a new computer.
I’ll edit to say “software” above.
Agree with the hardware statement from @hardsuit. Said the same back when I did the inventory of computers for DM, Laser, and CA.
