In this part of the video, the speaker discusses the differences between Windows tablets, iPads, and Android tablets from an artist’s perspective, excluding specific model performance to maintain general usefulness. Key points cover workflow and functional capabilities of each tablet type. Windows tablets are highlighted for their ability to run full desktop apps, unlike iPads and Android tablets which often run limited-feature versions of the same apps (such as Adobe Photoshop and Clip Studio). The speaker notes that desktop apps offer more configurable workspaces and always-visible palettes, enhancing productivity. Tablet apps, designed for minimal interface use due to limited display space, also support finger gestures for actions like undo, which are not as robust on Windows tablets. To mitigate this, some Windows tablets include customizable hotkeys.

In this part of the video, the speaker discusses the advantages and limitations of file management and hardware features across Windows tablets, Android tablets, and iPads. They highlight that Windows tablets offer a more universally familiar and straightforward file management system, allowing easy access and interoperability between different apps. Android tablets provide some flexibility but can also involve multiple steps similar to iPads when accessing files between apps. The discussion also touches on hardware differences, noting that Windows tablets typically offer more connectivity options and upgradability, such as multiple ports and expandable storage. Backup solutions for each platform are also compared, with Windows tablets using services like OneDrive, Google Drive, or Dropbox, and iPads primarily relying on iCloud for comprehensive backups, including user and app settings.

In this segment of the video, the speaker discusses the advantages and disadvantages of iPads and Android tablets compared to Windows tablets. Key advantages of iPads and Android tablets include apps designed for touch gestures and superior battery life, easily lasting eight hours compared to 4-6 hours for Windows tablets, which often overheat and have fans that drain the battery. For choosing a tablet, the recommendation is to select based on the apps you need: iPads and Windows tablets are better for graphic design due to a wider range of apps, while Android tablets excel in drawing apps but lack graphic design tools. If you already have a computer, an iPad or Android tablet could suffice. However, if you lack a computer, a Windows tablet is recommended for its versatility. The drawing performance on iPads with Apple Pencil and Samsung tablets with S Pen is noted as quite similar, with only slight differences in drawing experience.
