Microsoft has terrible pen technology for artists, still jittery slow lines years after it hurt the first Studio and other surface products.
This is sad consider they have been doing research on this for 15 years. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vOvQCPLkPt4
That said, one could probably produce something to a pretty similar effect with an external pen display (like Xencelabs 24"), VESA arm, and an M4 Mac mini, and it’d be more powerful, upgradable, flexible, and maybe even cheaper to boot.

Indicating that they could make it amazing if they wanted to, they just don't want to. Likely due to cost.
Unfortunate that Microsoft never did much with this, because it’s a cool concept.

Sure! What's the number to get this working?
Microsoft's problem has never been their hardware. You can argue their Surface and Surface pro line up is far far a better feat of engineering (stuffing a full blown desktop grade processor into a mobile tablet) than any iPad Pro. However, their achilles heel has always been their software. Though Windows has improved a lot over the years, its shitty data collection and privacy practices and changing around of UI ele…

Can you clarify this point? iPad Pro has an M4 processor, just like Mac desktops do.
