Mac Vs Microsoft Tablet

When Microsoft banned computer hardware that didn't have the TPM chip and therefore would not run Windows 11, I said, That's it. Fool me once Microsoft. shame on you... What's to stop Microsoft from doing this again in the future? I began looking at alternatives and decided that running Windows 11 as a Virtual Machine (VM) inside a product called Parallels Desktop on a Mac was the way to go. I'm one who always assembled his own PC's and keeping my budget at $1000 for the box (no new monitor, keyboard, mouse, external devices) BUT, if I was going to run Windows 11 inside of my new Mac, the Mac had better be on the robust end of the spectrum. My former Macs have always had 8 to 16GB of RAM which was adequate for my usage. But since Windows 11 doesn't thrive until reaching 16GB, I decided that 32GB should be fine with this new Mac (it's perfect) Next, storage. VM's require a lot of storage space. I'm running a Windows 11 VM, Mac Sonoma (this is an additional Mac VM) and a Linux VM. My Mac now has 850GB free on a 2TB drive. Yes, get the 2TB storage! I have no storage insecurity which counts for a lot. Perhaps I'll try moving the VM's to external storage someday but I don't have resources for trying experiments now - using RAID arrays, etc. So now I have an expensive Mac (it's all relative, I know). I justify it by saying that I was going to have to buy my $1000 Windows box anyway plus I wanted the new Mac silicon. Installing Parallels Desktop and the Windows 11 VM is mostly an automated experience. Everything is fast.

After employing a Microsoft keyboard for some years it is very nice to have a keyboard designed for the Mac.� The Microsoft keyboard is also top rate, but because it is designed for a PC system the keys do not always match up with the Mac.� The Das Keyboard 4 Pro for Mac is an excellent tool I would not hesitate to purchase again.

I have been using both Microsoft and this mac keyboard. However while the keys on the surface keyboard are excellent. This keyboard is AMAZING! great for all day use strait out of the box. The magic here is in the keys them selves requiring very little to no force needed to trigger a key stroke. This keyboard is a pleasure to use and can see using this for years to come.

My first Graphic tablet ever, so easy to use/connect/manage. I'm on a Mac. Would buy it again.

Nicely done on the PRO VS EVO. The PRO actually does have a full 1TB available, VS the EVO's 960GB after formatting.

Had to buy this when a Mac OS upgrade made my previous tablet obsolete but almost happy I had to since it got me into this nice wireless tablet. Easy setup and no more dangling wires. Just the right size to travel with my 16 Mac Book Pro.

Although I already own an Android tablet, I've wanted an iPad for a long time. Since I already own an iPhone and just bought a new Mac Air, I finally sprung for an iPad and am now happily navigating a complete Apple ecosystem. The iPad is ideal for reading books, checking the latest news, shopping, and just browsing the Internet when I'm on the go or just don't want to open my Mac. As always with Apple, the build is exceptional, the screen is gorgeous when I'm watching videos or movies, and using the tablet is very intuitive. I'd highly recommend this iPad to anyone who wants a workhorse of a daily tablet that's also great-looking and easy to use.

This replaced an Intuos pen tablet that I've had for years. which did not play well with my new Mac Studio. I like the size, and simplicity of this new medium tablet - works great for any editing that I do in Photoshop and Lightroom - I use a combination of pen, mouse, and keystrokes. The bluetooth works fine, but in my case drops connection when the Mac sleeps, so I use the USB cord. I'm well satisfied - great product, good value.

My take is that tablets are a required accessory for any serious Photoshop editing. I'm a long time Wacom user. My previous tablet was an Intuos Pro 4 circa 2010. For a bunch of years, I've been living with the periodic freezing problem these things have had. It doesn't take long on Google to find that a LOT of people have experienced this. Some has been traced to Windows Ink, but I'm on a Mac. Its persisted across years of updates of Wacom drivers, Photoshop versions, and Mac OS updates. In desperation, I finally decided to buy this tablet and I can report that after several weeks of heavy use it hasn't frozen once! Otherwise, it works exactly like my old Intuos Pro 4. I first tried the Small version, which worked fine for my iMac 27 screen size, but didn't like the way my hand rested on it. I exchanged it for the medium version which is ergonomically better for me. I do use a couple of the buttons and the scroll wheel, which are appreciated. I don't use the multi-touch feature. I don't rely on Bluetooth connectivity for fear of lagging, and I appreciate the improved design of the USB cord. Hope that helps somebody.

The tablet works great with my Mac Book Pro. My editing work is made easy by using the pen and tablet. It connects with the computer with no issues and the resolution and image is perfect.
