Unless you have to manage files, use a mouse, or install software that isn't on the app store. I don't know what too end laptops you were looking at but I suspect there are more options there than the one you chose.

Mouse support is quite good as of April. iOS 13 supports local USB hard drives and network shares well enough.

  Supports mouse and fileanagement poorly. File management on iOS is a disaster. I love my iPad pro I detest iOS.

    The file browser is a new feature right? Perhaps it will get better soon. The new pro ipads seem like a push to replace some laptop usage which would require a file browser.

      The file browser to support iCloud and third party apps like Dropbox, OneDrive, Google Drive and on device storage has been around for awhile. UsB Drive and file shares came out last year.

        Let's say you want to work in a Google drive folder when making a file so that it's always backed up, like you would on a PC. You open procreate and have to share/import/export with Google each time. The automatic backup thing I use drive for doesn't seem to work. The files aren't really backed up until they're reshared with Google drive, circumventing the whole point of automatic backups as I'm working. The file browser is a workaround that lets you drag files but the basic functionality is ruined.

        Procreate should support the UIDocumentBrowserViewController When you open a file within Procreate, it should give you an option within the app to choose Google Drive or whatever other storage provider you have install and load and save files to Google Drive from within the app. It works for Office.

        can confirm does not work in procreate.

        The API was introduced in June 2017 at WWDC. There is really no reason for Procreate not to support the functionality.
