Wacom has released a second-gen update of its 13-inch MobileStudio Pro, which sees the popular high-end, mobile creative pen computer getting a powerful boost under the hood. The updated version packs a new CPU (Intel Core i7-8559U) and Intel Iris Plus Graphics 655 graphics card, and offers Thunderbolt 3 for fast data transfer. We're also pleased to see that both RAM and SSD are now upgradeable, bringing the not-inconsiderable investment some extra longevity.

Originally launched in October 2016, the 13-incher is the smaller of two Wacom MobileStudio Pro models. The MobileStudio Pro 16 got its own second-gen update in 2019, with similar upgrades to the 13.

The MobileStudio Pro is a high-end device that doubles up as both a graphics tablet and a PC. It can run full versions of industry-standard creative software, or you can plug it into any Mac or PC to use it as a standard pen display (for this you'll need a Wacom Link, sold separately). The idea is that the MobileStudio Pro offers complete creative freedom, by providing designers all they need to do their best work wherever they are.
