Or you could vote with your wallet and buy a Huion instead. They are just as good, if not better. And about half the price. It's all made in China any way.

An iPad Pro with the Apple Pencil is actually a great alternative to traditional drawing tablets, even if you use Windows.

Yeah, but a Wacom starts at $59 and an iPad Pro starts at $799, and comes without a pen.

I shouldn’t have said “Pro” as the recent non-Pro iPads under $400 have Pencil support too.

I mean sure that's better, but now Apple is tracking you instead and you got ripped off $340 for it

Apple’s tracking opt-outs don’t silently reset themselves to “share everything” on each update the way Wacom does.

Windows art apps often need hover support since they assume a Wacom, and the general windows interface definitely does. I guess you can simulate hover by holding a hot key or something while touching though.

They make a top of the line art pad. And your in the apple eco system, so it's not super shady. Or at least you know what your getting.

But do they spy on you ? not knowing something does not mean it does not exist
