ipads are legitimately a great option at this point for drawing tablets and it infuriates me to no end that apple isn't completely pivoting to this market. Imagining an 18" ipad that can actually connect to a computer or that can run macOS apps while still having an enjoyable UX using the apple pencil for navigating (which is VERY POSSIBLE) has me losing my mind.

#apple bad etc but like all tech companies bad and apple has the distinct advantage of generally providing a really satisfying and easy UX #while also having the most satisfyingly designed hardware #they had a software called sidecar where you can use your ipad as a second monitor for your mac #and it's a fucking incredible concept but unfortunately it doesn't run very well #and they haven't really tuned the ipad to interact well with macOS apps #but like THEY COULD EASILY #and probably could capture a huger percentage of the digital arts market than they already have #because listen. Wacom. Makes ok stuff but dealing with the DRIVERS #And like an ipad basically is apple's drawing tablet line at this point #like no matter how much they try to be like ohhh its for everything #its best uses are visual arts and roblox and like. Theyre obviously marketing towards the artists with the ipad pro #and theres this whole identity crisis the ipad has #where apple intentionally kneecaps it in order to keep the divide between iPad and macbook discrete #But i feel like they just need to really play into the ipad as drawing tablet/accessory to mac
