You can do most of the things it does using high-end Wacom styles, but I and every artist who tries the Apple Pencil comes away acknowledging its supremacy. Pros - The pencil is hands-down the best stylus for drawing. The pencil is simply the best out there perfect weight, great tilt and pressure sensitivity, and long battery life with fast recharge time. I've never used a more natural or pleasing digital stylus (including Wacom's). IPad Pro - Standalone - I wasn't going to buy one of these until I tried the pencil. Pros - Powerful CPU with lots of RAM and SSD storage runs a full OS (Windows) and apps designed for that OS terrific tablet performance with 2048 levels, tilt and pressure sensitivity.Ĭons - Lots of technical issues, such as dropped bluetooth devices, poor wireless connectivity, and crashing tablet drivers the fan runs fast, loud, and constantly the device does not reliably go to sleep battery life is terrible (2-3h if you're lucky) expensive (I have the top-of-the-line $2500 version). Unfortunately, it often creates annoying usability problems that swallow up any time savings I may have banked up from using it. Never again.Ĭintiq Companion 2 - This is an expensive, high-performance solution that can handle just about anything you throw at it. That said, I could never go back to an approach that separates the drawing surface from the screen the disconnect is something I taught myself to cope when I bought my first tablet in 1996, but that all ended with my first Cintiq in 2008. The advantages to the Intuos are that your hand doesn't get between you and your work, it costs less, and it doesn't lag at all. I don't think there's a meaningful comparison between the iPad Pro/AstroPad solution and the Wacom Intuos. The reviews posted above are very good, but I can offer a few impressions. I have a Cintiq Companion 2, a MacBook Pro, and an iPad Pro. There are numerous videos on YouTube showing Astropad in action and some comparing Astropad and Wacom, including Cintiq. The best pencil experience (and I believe it can be one of the very best) is only in the native apps that support it. So for now the best pencil experience (and I believe it can be one of the very best) is only in the native apps that support it. īut from what I've seen and read about the pencil is that the app really has to properly support the pencil. No first hand experience of the iPad pro, the pencil or indeed astro pad. Has anyone here used the iPad pro for photo editing and can maybe give feedback (good/bad) compared to the Intous pro?
