Anyone who knows the tablet market knows Wacom are the most jewish. Good alternatives should always be welcomed.

The Pro is the only one decent but they should have added at least one thunderbolt 3 port to it.
Laptop is shit, unrepairable, low power laptop that is meant for light web browser usage, somehow it does allow to draw on it, which results in a wobbly screen.
Book is literally a tablet on life support, useless without its stand and the battery dies in a couple minutes then too. With the stand, you can't use it well for drawing, since there's no support behind the screen like the Pro's hinge. If it's closed to put in your bag it's super thick on one side and the hinge scratches certain tables beyond repair.
Go in most configurations is underpowered for anything useful on Windows.
Studio is a good concept, but being limited to just move the screen up and down is a killer for people used to those big Wacom screens, no pivoting the screen nor moving it on a horizontal axis. Also, no upgradability which is a must for work stations. The dial is a joke, the UI jitters around as if it can't locate the position of it correctly.

Microsoft stopped using Wacom digitizer hardware and stylus pens back with the Surface Pro 3 - they purchased Ntrig years ago and that's what they use in all their touch and pen-enabled hardware nowadays.
The Surface Pro 6 is a damned fine piece of hardware, a real actual computer capable of running a real actual desktop computer operating system which makes it superior to anything else on the market like iPads (Pro or not), Android devices (Chromebooks or not), etc.
One would be idiotic to spend the kind of money on something like a Google Pixelbook or an Apple iPad Pro since they're primarily content consumption devices.
Get a Surface Pro, get shit done, that's as simple as it gets.
Yes, I am a Surface Pro owner.

Surface Studio?

What kind of idiot would try to run a "real actual desktop computer operating system" on a tablet?

I have the pro one at work, and it's decent for normal office work. Althought it's silly that you have to buy so much as extra's, and it's pretty overpriced in my opinion. And I think that our ITC department had to return something like 25% of them because of defects in just a few months. So build quality is apple tier levels of bad.

Someone who would use an OS made by Microsoft that is meant for tablets, example: Windows 8 and Windows 10.

It's a fucking computer, you dickhead, why wouldn't someone want to run an actually useful OS to get shit down in a more portable form than dragging a desktop or an even larger laptop around with 'em?
I like the idea of the Surface Studio, and for the record while the display does go up and down vertically, you can turn the Surface Studio with barely any effort at all since the base of it spins (you can watch most any review video and see this done with just a single finger to turn it).
I love the idea of it, but since I'm not an artist of any kind I couldn't see myself getting such a machine hence the Surface Pro I have. I can use it wherever I want, remove the keyboard in a half-second, it's light, it lasts 9+ hours at 50% brightness, it does absolutely everything I require.
I will agree with the poster above that for the Surface Pro 6 models Microsoft really should had put at least one USB-C port on the damned thing. They could have made that work, kept the traditional USB-A port on it and added a USB-C as well, it was not something impossible to do.
Hell, the Surface Go got a USB-C port, they should have done that for the Surface Pro 6 too, it was a dumb move not to do it but I presume next year's Surface Pro will finally make that move to USB-C.

Why didn't you just get a laptop in the first place then idiot? The Surface Pro is no smaller than a 13 inch laptop.
Being "meant for tablets" doesn't mean the experience is actually good. I doubt you ever tried to use Windows on a tablet.
