7P notes: Microsoft Surface Pro

Overview

If you are looking for running Windows desktop apps on a standalone tablet, then the Surface Pro 8 (and above) is a good choice when combined with Surface Pro Signature Keyboard and Slim Pen 2.

IMPORTANT: DO NOT get a Surface Pro that uses an ARM processor (example: Microsoft Surface Pro 11). ARM-based Windows machines do not work with drawing tablets at the moment. More here: Windows on ARM.

Drawing experience

Surface Pro 7 ands below do not have good pens for drawing. They exhibit too much line wobble.

I find the drawing experience to be OK / Tolerable with the Surface Pro 8 and above. It doesn't match what you get from the iPad or the Samsung Galaxy Tab series.

I really don't find these devices are more suited to note taking rather than drawing (though you can certainly use them for that)
