Well yesterday I went on a spiritual journey (to best buy) and took some time to consider getting the surface pro for drawing. The display model they had was not working. I tried to play around with the surface RT. For those that don't know what the surface RT is think surface Pro > Surface RT where as OSX > IOS. The RT model is like the low power version of windows. Windows 8 RT is meant to run on ARM processors, on the other hand Windows 8 pro is meant for your standard x86 type of processor.
The surface pro did eventually start up but I had no access to the pen nor did I have an app that was pressure sensitive to try out the pen. Eventually I had the bright idea of using the pen from my Galaxy Note Phone. The pen worked on the surface but all I had to try it out with was MS Paint.
Going back and forth through the store I finally decided that I was gonna go with a gaming laptop instead. Something with some real power. In the future I can use Photoshop and a wacom tablet to draw. Also I still have my Galaxy Note 10.1, a device that I am still quite fond of. Ill get more miles out of my galaxy note while being able to game and handle high end apps on my new laptop.
