Would you pick this or an iPad (not pro) and apple pencil for budding 15yr old who plans to be an art major?

Honestly… I would get an iPad Air with 2nd Gen pencil. The reason I say this is because it is portable and has its own OS, so you don’t need to travel with 2 devices. Now, as for the claims the Wacom and the PC would be a better option, that’s simply not true. You see, if the kid uses a Mac (which is a good possibility given the art major), the iPad can function as a drawing tablet for the Mac, and thus be used for Photoshop. If the kid uses a PC, then a simple purchase called duet display will allow the iPad to be used as a second screen for the PC and thus support photoshop again. So I would go with the iPad Air as a good compromise over the iPad vs iPad Pro and the 2nd Gen pencil.

Can you use paint tool sai on it?

The Cintiq 16 will need to be connected to a PC or Mac computer in order to function. If you are running creative applications such as Paint Tool SAI on the hosting computer, then the software will work well with the Cintiq 16.

can you work on the tablet without connecting it to the computer?

Thank you for the question. No, the tablet needs to be connected to the computer at all times. If you are looking for a stand alone device, our MobileStudio Pro would be a good fit.

Is the cintiq 16 compatible with standard vesa mounts for ergo monitor adjustable stands? (such as the amazonbasic lift engine - arm mount)

The Wacom Cintiq 16 uses the 75 x 75mm VESA standard. Screw sizes can differ depending on arm manufactures due to the connection plate on each arm. The screw depth within this tablet is approximately 5.7mm.
