    Cintiq:
    Pros: Accurate pressure sensitivity, best drawing device. Larger screen for the 21ux and up
    Cons: Parallax (space gap between the tip of the stylus and drawing cursor, lots of hardware, heavy, cables (unless it's the companion). The companion also has less parallax, shitty screen size on the companion. The button on the stylus gets in the way.

    Surface Pro:
    Pros: Decent drawing experience, also a laptop replacement, cool keyboard, decent stylus
    Cons: Drawing experience not excellent, but good. Shitty screen dim so it gave me eye strain. Small screen. Less pressure sensitivity

    Apple Pencil:
    Pros: Hardware (very portable and the pencil feels good on the hand). No parallax, the glass is thin so there's no gap between the tip of the pencil and cursor. No lag, and palm rejection is very good, but not perfect.
    Cons: Pressure sensitivity is good, but not as great as the cintiq. Some lag when connecting to a mac using astropad. Ipad ios system, not a desktop so you have to use astropad for painting in photoshop.

    • For the Apple Pencil, you can't use photoshop unless you're at home on your network? you're basically just mirroring your mac, right?zarkonite
    • Yes, using astropad.pinkfloyd
    • Even with 16gb of memory and a usb wired connection, the rendering was pixeled the first couple of seconds so there's a somewhat pixellation lag.pinkfloyd
