If you are working in the area of digital imaging, or using image processing software as a hobby, and if you have used pen-tablet devices often, I guess that most of you are hoping to use a pen tablet display,which (hopefully) provides you with a more natural working environment. If you are worrying about the price, and if you don't know the Wacom Cintiq 12WX (12WX or the tablet below), this could be the best option for you with its relatively low price ($1,000).
If you are working in the area of digital imaging, or using image processing software as a hobby, and if you have used pen-tablet device often, I guess that most of you are hoping to use pen tablet display, which (hopefully) enables more natural working environment. Hope only. If you are worrying about the price, and if you don't know the Wacom Cintiq 12WX (12WX or the tablet below), it could be an option for you with the relatively low price (1,000$) then others.

12WX is a 12 inch monitor that functions as a pen tablet, which means it is a sensitive touch pad when using an electronic pen.
12WX is a pen-tablet display, which means you can use a computermonitor like a very sensitive touch pad using an electronic pen, havinga 12 inch monitor.
Compared to the other models of Wacom, this one is thin, light, and small. You can connect it with your additional graphic driver and can use it as a secondary monitor with its tablet functions. Because it is light,you can design/write/illustrate on your lap like a laptop. This is the biggest merit of this device, since it allows you a more natural environment. You can work using the display only, and also you can work while watching another big display after synchronizing the tablet with it. But this is all what the $1,000 device have.

If you are planning to use it as a secondary display, it seems to be a bad idea. 12WX's view angle is pretty poor, and you can't read small characters well if your face is not orthogonal to the tablet. This is not a substitute for a usual display.

12WX is surely light. But this is true only if you are counting the 'display' device. It has complex cables with a (relatively) big setup box, which probably exists to convert signals between DVI and VGA. They reduces the potability severely, and it is very bothersome to re-arrange cables, frankly.

So, is this rubbish for $1,000? No, I don't think so. It is still a very good option for you, if you want to enjoy a more natural environment at an economical price. I especially recommend this to experts in computer graphics since it allows you to do high-level work with much greater ease.
So, is this a rubbish of 1,000$? No, I don't think so. It would be very good option for you, if you want to enjoy more natural environment with economical price. But I think you would better not to buy 12WX if you are not an expert user of an usual pen-tablet, because of its lack of the display function, complex cables, and the 'relatively cheap' price.
