    Vegetaholic, 25 Sep 2021Why the hell do you need 8gb of ram for reading??? 4gb for ... moreSo for me, I use Nomad Sculpt for doing 3D sculpting, and ever since they updated it as well as Procreate, I can export that 3D model to Procreate to digitally paint on the textures. If Nomad allows for more RAM usage, that would be AMAZING. I could have more complicated models that I could port between the two apps.

                    Now. Just make an ipad mini pro with 8GB+ RAM.
                    8-9 inches is the ideal tablet size, especially for reading.
                    The pro models give me carpal tunnel syndrome... As for surface pro. It has a warning 'intel inside'.
                    I don't want that lol

I sold my 2020 iPad Pro for a Surface Pro 7 and never looked back. I don't worry about PC gaming since I have my own desktop tower with Ryzen CPU and GeForce GPU at home.

                            I wonder if those people who are so quick to dismiss Surface Pros have actually use the device, I mean having Windows 11 just made it much more better as a tablet, I use my Pro X as a tablet when I'm not on my phone. I always have it on my bedside. The screen, speaker and its thinness is so gorgeous! Not to mention, it's also a full fledge computer and with Android apps coming, for me that's only a bonus.

Those who want laptops buy laptops, those who like touch based environments buy tablets. Different use cases, different crowd , no need to combine.

                              Also iPad *is* getting the productivity of laptops little by little. They have the power already, they just don't want to cannibalize MacBook sales , so they do it excruciatingly slowly...

But nonetheless good unbalanced sound.
