Okay, so, I work on a Cintiq, its my baby, but it's been with me for a few years now, and its starting to get worn out a little. Can't really blame it. It still works fine, no major hurry, but... Some lil voice keeps nagging in the back of my head to just... Prepare, just in case this thing dies at some point. And I'm wondering what to get after this. Either a static Cintiq again, big one, like before... But what about the Companion? It'd give me a lot of freedom, but I kinda wonder if these are any good, and how they work? Can they just be attached to a normal computer, or are they always separate? How's the performance, since I run pretty big files, files laptops really don't like. How's the feel, how's the specs, all that stuff.

I've always had a bunch of bad luck with laptops, either in performance or technical issues. I actually own a Surface Pro 3 at the moment and love it... But I can not draw on it at all, even after practicing, even after years on a Cintiq. So will a Cintiq Companion feel just like a normal Cintiq, just.... More portable?

Please help me out, I have no idea what to expect from these things.
