Artists are a really important audience for the Surface Pro 3

Posted on by

Gabe reviews the Surface Pro 3 over on Penny Arcade, through the eyes of a digital artist:

So my honest opinion right now is that I’m frustrated with the device. It’s so close to being perfect that the problems it has feel especially maddening. If it just performed a little better! If they just hadn’t put that button right there! Grrrr.

MS is going to be using me as a sort of artist guinea pig from what it sounds like. They will be bringing me new devices with some special options that they think may resolve my problems. As soon as next week I’ll probably be testing out some new stuff. I will keep you updated but for right now, I can’t tell artists to run out and buy the Surface Pro 3 today.

The full review makes for great reading, and you can find it here.
