For some reason I quite like the glassy texture and get on with it just fine. I used Wacom Cintiqs for over a decade, and I think the iPad Pro is extremely similar to paint on, with some small differences - notably, most people will not enjoy the glassy smooth screen of the iPad and will need a textured screen protector to make it feel more like other screen tablets, or like paper.

It also has the most powerful hardware specifications, which means I can paint at large resolutions with multiple layers and complex brushes, as well as occasionally mess about with 3d modelling and sculpting, and easily run multiple apps at the same time. Painting, writing, website development, entertainment - I do everything on the iPad.Īs it’s my only computer, I think getting the 12.9” version was necessary - I can’t imagine trying to finish professional level artwork or develop websites on a smaller screen than this.

After figuring out all the special quirks of working with iPadOS, it now works perfectly for me as a super-portable complete PC replacement. I've got the 2020 model of the iPad Pro 12.9, with 512GB of hard drive space.
