If you’re an artist, fashion designer, or illustrator looking for a new tablet or tablet PC in 2020 then you’ve got a lot to weigh up. Thankfully, we've done that for you.
A model’s 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.
Before we start, we're going to have to define what we mean by a tablet in this article. We don't 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.
Your best bet is the Microsoft Surface Pro 7.

There are circumstances where the near-unique nature of the Surface Pro 7 means that it really is the best creative device on the market should you be a creative director running between client meetings and need a combination of a digital Moleskine and a way to keep your admin and email under control.
If you want the thinnest, lightest device you can run the full version of Photoshop or Illustrator or XD on, it’s a no-brainer. Artists looking for the best drawing and painting experience is 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).
So it’s not the best tablet, nor the best laptop – nor does it have the best screen – but if a hybrid suit you best, this is where you should spend your money.
