Without going too much on a tangent, the uses range basically from simple doodling to very precise, technical drawings: Now, there are many different use cases of drawing. Now recently, the standard iPad (not the very expensive Pro) also works with the Apple Pencil, opening pen-based iPads up to a much broader audience. It feels almost as if you are drawing directly on the screen, but with the added advantage of being able to edit, copy, move things around, and of course, directly send the result (try doing that with pen and paper). We can now draw directly on the surface, with no disconnect between the hand and the screen.Īnd thanks to the sheer power of the iPad Pro, there is almost no lag when drawing.

I think that’s the real USP of iPads these days.Īpple started a whole new device category (tablets) when they launched the iPad in 2010, but the iPad Pro with its Apple Pencil is a full new ball game when it comes to drawing: now, finally, we have something close to a real replacement of pen and paper. I did buy one of those some years back, but boy that opens up a whole new can of worms! Not just hooking it up and getting it to work with a graphics program, but the disconnect between the WACOM pad on your desk and the action happening on the screen just makes it difficult. Remember, back in the day when you tried to make a drawing on your PC, what a pain that was trying to get something done using your mouse? Sure, you could buy a WACOM pad or similar so you can use a pen and hook that up to your PC. We reveal the top five picks on the app store.
