Well said!

I have a Surface Pro 3, which I've used a lot for music projects and live performances. I also have a more powerful but aging home studio computer and I'm planning on upgrading that to a Surface Book 2.

My employer provides me with a MacBook Pro for my office and I teach in an iMac lab. I am happy enough with MacOS when I need to use it at work, but, man, having multi-touch and pen options on the Surface Pro has been pretty wonderful, and I'm excited that I'll have those tools in my home studio soon too.

I own an iPad Pro and like it a lot, but, as you say, it doesn't come close to replacing a lot of pretty important software tools that musicians use.

Thanks for a thoughtful article!
