The iPad Pro is actually really awesome for artists. Pro + Pencil is a better experience than a Wacom Cintiq display, and it's a whole tablet for about the same price point, not just a display.
- matwood 10y agoAnd this is why when they raised the price of the iPad Air 3, I mean iPad Pro 9", they should have included the pencil. I like Apple products and want to try out an IPP with the pencil, but it's not priced to try out at all.
- wslh 10y agoAny experience on the Microsoft Surface? It seems it works very well for artists also.
- allsystemsgo 10y agoApple Pencil is pretty incredibly and trumps the stylus offered by Microsoft IMHO.
- alphonsegaston 10y agoIt was alright to use when they were putting in the Wacom digitizers. The N-Trig ones just aren't up to snuff. All my artist friends now just want an iPad Pro that runs full-blown Photoshop.

- EugeneOZ 10y agoFrom other side, kids are often artists.
- klipt 10y agoArtists (e.g. Gabe of Penny Arcade fame) were saying similar things about MS's Surface Pro 3 years ago: https://www.penny-arcade.com/news/post/2013/02/22/the-ms-surface-pro https://www.penny-arcade.com/news/post/2013/02/22/the-ms-sur... Is the iPad Pro a big improvement on that?
- kgabis 10y agoThis is a pretty good comparison: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=niD1N1d4nTc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=niD1N1d4nTc
- alphonsegaston 10y agoYes and no (am an artist and have both). The hardware profile is exactly what you would want, but the software isn't there. You'd need something like the equivalent of the brush engine in Photoshop in order for it to be viable for most artists, but Adobe seems all in on their paired down and unintuitive mobile apps. Procreate comes close, but their brush system is kludgy.
