I think the Surface tablets are superior hardware compared to the new iPad Pro, HOWEVER, since I&#x27;m mainly going to use the iPad Pro for art, I&#x27;m afraid the apps on iOS are actually going to be cheaper and better.<p>I&#x27;ve been surprised by the quality, low price, and useability of of iOS and OSX creative apps.  Hype, Pixelmator, Sketch, and Over.  Are really good tools, and they are cheap.<p>The Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, etc.) are still the best tools from a feature perspective, but they are expensive, and they are now on a subscription plan.  I don&#x27;t make art for a living ... I do it for fun ... so I can&#x27;t justify spending that much money every month, for something I might or might not use.<p>I have rented Creative Suite to use for a month on occasion (to edit a Wedding video and to design some invitations), but day to day, I&#x27;m usually messing around in Pixelmator these days.<p>The only thing I miss from Adobe is Lightroom.  There&#x27;s nothing like Lightroom.  I&#x27;m stuck using the last non-subscription version of Lightroom, and will probably never upgrade.  Pretty sad about that.<p>I wish there were products like Pixelmator and Sketch for PC.
