Best For Fashion Design Mac Or PC

It takes Intels HD graphics cards and 7th Gen Core m3 processor (for the most basic model).

A models price, size, screen resolution and stylus pressure sensitivity can all make a huge difference, so take a look at our list of the best tablets for creatives, including mobile tablets, tablet PC and 2-in-1 models.

Best For Fashion Design Mac Or PC

We dont mean traditional graphics tablets with flat drawing surfaces that connect to your Mac or PC such as the Wacom Intuos Pro Paper Edition (which you can buy from Amazon here ), often called Wacom tablets even if made by other manufacturers.

Were also not including graphics tablets with built-in displays such as Wacoms Cintiq Pro range.

You can read our round-up of these tablet displays in our guide to the best cheap Cintiq alternatives.

Some of these are what the wider world call tablets e.g.

Apples iPad Pro ( below ) and Android tablets that run mobile operating systems.

These are thin, light with a 9- to 12-inch screen and have very long battery life.

Most of these models offer clip-on keyboards, so manufacturers sometimes call them detachables as they can also function as laptops.

If you want the performance of the likes of the Apple MacBook Pro or Dell XPS 15 and a 15-inch screen youll need to look to a convertible such as HPs ZBook x360 ( below ) or Dells own XPS 15 2-in-1 (note, the term 2-in-1 is often used for both detachable and convertible models).

Theyre called convertibles as theyre laptops that you can also fold in the opposite way to closing it, flipping the bottom behind the screen to create thick tablet shape ready for you to draw on.

Most devices have been reviewed by digital illustrator Sam Gilbey.

Artists looking for the best drawing and painting experience are still better off with an iPad Pro and Procreate but if you need to create vector art as well, then Illustrator on the Surface Pro covers both bases much better (sorry Affinity Publisher).

For artists and illustrators who want a portable drawing and painting device, its more than a match for the Microsoft Surface Pro or Wacom MobileStudio Pro (unless you prefer the extra three-inches of screen that you get from the 16-inch Wacom).

However, if youve the budget then the 11-inch model is an excellent roughingideation tool that youll want to pair with an iMac or desktop PC (and the Duet Display Pro app lets you use your iPad Pro like a Cintiq).

Or Illustrator. Or InDesign, XD and probably hundreds of other creative applications that havent made it across to Apples tablet.

The main Surface Pro line uses an Intel Core processor 10th-gen chips in the new Surface Pro 7.

Theres no Face Unlock on the Pros, but some creatives may see this as a benefit, as when the iPad is flat on your desk the natural drawing position for many unlocking an iPad with a finger is easier than looming over it or tilting it up so it can recognise your face.

Its considered to be the best Android tablet to be launched in years, so if youre an Android fan, this is your best bet.

The screen has 2,048 x 1,536 HD resolution and HDR support for better colour and contrast.

It does however include Samsungs S Pen, which has four times the amount of pressure sensitivity to that of the Apple Pencil.

It can be used as a drawing tool fairly easily, even if youre not well versed in Windows software.

The design is sturdy, if a little chunkier than a tablet, but bear in mind this is a fully fledged PC as well.

The screen has a 2,736 x 1,824 resolution and 10 point multi-touch.
