High performance, consistent uptime and fast support. Minecraft hosting that just works.
Don't mind me, I just want to see this how conversation continues. Signing up for more.
Wacom has been in the game for a long time and they know what they're doing. THAT'S why they have a monopoly on the tablet market. If there were something better it would be adopted by now. Especially from a company as big as apple. EVERYONE knows about the iPad Pro. If you see what artists are saying about the iPad Pro, the consensus is that it has good technology and works well but is just too limited to replace a Wacom with something running Windows/OSX. Especially at that pricepoint, there's no compelling reason to buy an iPad Pro, nor is anything is does that other tablets on the market don't. I'm saying this not to brag, but if I wanted to I could buy just about any tablet on the market and I'd never choose an iPad Pro. The problem isn't money, the device just isn't worth what it costs.
What? Nobody mentioned android at all. There are no good android drawing tablets lol. This is about using a mobile OS like iOS or Android vs using an actual full OS like Windows or OSX.
As far as tablets for art go, there are very few android options to begin, and really no good ones. I meant tablets like Wacom's Cintiq or Cintiq Companion and Microsoft's Surface. A mobile OS will never be as good as a desktop OS. It's just not designed or meant to. It'd be like trying to replace a laptop with a phone.
I can think of MANY things you can't do on your ipad pro that I can on my PC
You are kidding me right? The list of functionalities of an ipad are far far inferior to the functionalities of a PC
1) Install and run software (software, not apps)
2) Run games like Team Fortress 2, Rocket League, CS:GO, ETC
3) Ability to connect mouse and keyboard that you want
4) Multitasking. I'm aware that there's a new feature that let's you split your screen for apps, but those apps have to be compatible with the feature in order for it to work. Even so, it still can't be compared to the level of multitasking available with a PC
5) Customization.
Do I really need to continue? If you insist, I can list so much more.
iPad Aficionado? More like iPad Aficionanope
(sorry shiny I had to)
Mobile games will never compare to full PC or Console titles.
Completely defeats the purpose.
Croc this is just getting stupid...
It is blatantly obvious that the capabilities of a ipad pro is inferior to a PC.
You can argue and be stubborn all you want, but it's a fact. It will be a fact until some breakthrough occurs, and that probably will happen in our lifetime, but not now.
I'm going to stop replying to this thread.

The problem is that you think this stuff is able to match up to their PC versions which couldn't be farther from the truth. All of the games you mentioned are watered-down versions of their PC counterparts. Minecraft especially is a nightmare to play on touch and I found myself deleting the app after barely 2 hours of gameplay.
Not sure where you get the idea that mice are counter intuitive. I've been using computers since I was a toddler and it was completely natural. Using a mouse is one of the easiest tasks a human can do, which is why literally anyone with basic motor skills can do it. I've never met a kid that has trouble using a mouse, let alone someone older.
You can use your iPad as a secondary display for devices that actually support a second display to begin with. Which means you'd be running a Mac or PC of course. That'd make your iPad nothing more than an overpriced monitor. And as I touched on before, that app is NOT for professional modeling. There's no way you actually think an app like that matches up to Cinema 4D or Maya. There's no intuitive way to have an app as feature-rich as either of those and still work well with touch.
And iOS 10 would have to be one hell of an update to come close to the customizability of a PC.
And how long ago was PS2? I'm talking about this decade's games.
Some tasks are just best done with a mouse. I have a touchscreen Cintiq right in front of me and still reach for my house to do some things. Because touch can only do so much. There's a reason why after decades of people using computers, the mouse has stayed.
I think I'm replying to this thread. Good luck getting actual work done using toys.
I just want to state something, every you've mentioned, Croc, that you can do with the Ipad Pro has to be done by an app/software acting like a bridge between both OS. Instead of installing all of these, why not just use something that was built for the same OS as the one you are using on your desktop.
I did not proof read, it might not make any sense.
