Maybe not as much for photo editing or text features, but for painting and drawing it produces a much better result, much easier. I have long been looking to ditch photoshop and any other "subscription software" and procreate kinda blows it out of the water. My ipad pro replaced my computer the instant I got it, and I was just planning to use it for drawing. posted by Armed Only With Hubris to Computers & Internet (13 answers total) 3 users marked this as a favorite I am not a fan of Apple products, but there may be something about them I am missing. It doesn't have to be top of the line, just be able to handle what I outlined above. Really what I am looking for is a device that has a decent, fast processor and all the other components necessary to handle draw program graphics without crawling along at a snail's pace. That way if I don't like drawing on the device I still have a computer that can meet my other needs.
I happen to need a new computer, so it makes sense to me to buy a portable device that will let me work with a draw program, while also being able to stream, browse and use writing apps. I am also aware of the Cintiq, but it is too much of an investment when I am not sure I will like using that, either. I know about and have tried a regular Wacom tablet, but found myself disengaged from my work while using it. I am trying to learn how to use electronic devices to make artwork and so far that hasn't gone well.
