Interesting. Using a Cintiq can be better than a tablet with some applications ("feels more natural") too.

Have you used a Cintiq much? Would be interested in a comparison of that vs the iPad Pro's. :)

The wacoms with bonded glass (everything except the cheap cintiq 16) are better than the ipad but its very close. The ipad is more than good enough, its good.

Meanwhile the portability of the ipad and apps like procreate have made the ipad a very compelling tool for artists.

Most professional digital artists I know of use both a large cintiq in studio and an ipad.

There are a trillion comparisons on youtube. Also a contender (but a smaller size) is the ipad air 3 which also has a bonded glass display.
