“The ConceptD 7 Ezel is fast and furious, and can morph into whatever form factor a creative professional might need.”

• Innovative and immensely useful design
• Class-leading performance
• Solid build quality in spite of the complexity
• Great input options
• Very good display

• Very large and heavy
• Expensive
