But how does it do this better than any other brand out there? Is it the software (and then base OS or third-party), hardware that is better (not durability or so, but the accuracy of the pen I guess is relevant here), something else?
As a non-apple user, forgive me for being skeptical but it sounds like (and I'm probably missing something) you're saying one needs an Apple tablet specifically for the grand task of drawing on a touchscreen. Or maybe you're using the word iPad to mean tablet in general and I'm reading too much into the comment?
The Apple Pencil is the best stylus I’ve ever used. The 13” size is perfect (it’s basically an A4 page). The handwriting recognition on the iPad is amazing. But mostly, it’s the software. GoodNotes and Procreate are my two killer apps. There’s nothing as good on any other platform. For me, the iPad Pro I have is justified by those two apps alone.
Aside from an iPod a bunch of years ago, the iPad was my first Apple platform product. Last year I switched from a Google Pixel to an iPhone, so now I have two Apple products. The phone is fine but I was pretty happy on the Pixel too. The iPad though us my favorite computer to use.
