In fact, storage and app limitations descend from this overarching issue. Its capabilities as a professional tool are limited because of its lack of power.
It should come as no surprise that, for most professionals, an iPad Pro will likely never replace a desktop computer or a laptop. In my opinion, power is the iPad Pro’s greatest weakness. Without this indispensable feature, the iPad Pro would be next-to useless for professional work. Pinching and zooming and rotating on the iPad Pro is generally flawless. I simply can’t justify the added monthly expense when finding an internet connection is so easy and I don’t use my iPad as a communication tool. I’ve never purchased the cell option, WiFi only. I spend up to three months each winter on the road and the only way I can maintain my client work is due to the iPad Pro’s incredible mobility.
Your ability to work anywhere is the iPad Pro’s greatest advantage. There is almost no parallax (the distance between the pencil tip and the mark onscreen) and the feel of the pencil on a matte screen protector is very close to the resistance you feel when drawing with a graphite pencil on paper. The Apple Pencil is a terrific drawing tool and when coupled with Procreate or Sketchbook and a matte screen protector, the iPad Pro becomes a powerful platform for illustration and painting. As a result, I have a handful of opinions about working with this device. For the past three years, I’ve used the first and second generation iPad Pro exclusively to create the vast majority of my client and personal illustration work. I purchased the 12.9” model and put it to work on my client projects almost immediately, learning how to incorporate it into my workflow on the job. Then Apple introduced the iPad Pro and a mobile studio suddenly became possible. In the intervening years, I largely shunned digitally produced art because I couldn’t achieve the control I wanted and, despite improvements in technology, there was no way I was going to lug a Cintiq around. I also hated drawing with the Wacom Intuos Tablet. It sat unused for years before I finally offloaded it to an art student at a fire-sale price. Aside from its unwieldy weight and lousy stand, it suffered from parallax and underdeveloped drawing software.
I owned a first generation Cintiq UX21 and I hated it.
