Priced way to high imo.
But have you used Photoshop/Illustrator/After Effects on a Surface Device? It is terrible. Just because the tabs can run full windows programs doesn't mean it does it well. My bet is that photoshop (updated app version) on the ipad pro will be a better experience than Photoshop full version on a surface Pro, because Photoshop full program is'nt designed to be used on a tablet.
Yea, and no it isn't. Get an appropriate surface. Don't try to skimp wit an i3 with 4GB RAM for Premiere Pro and After Effects and then complain about performance.
The Surface can dock to an external monitor so at a desk the screen size is not a factor. You don't buy this as your main work machine. You buy it for on the go productivity and working. The surface can run those apps. The iPad can't, period.
The Surface can use a mouse or trackpad, so whether an app is tablet optimized is a non factor. It's a Full windows laptop that can function as a tablet. Not a tablet masquerading as a laptop.
An iOS Photoshop is never going to compare to what's available on Windows and OS X. It won't even compare to PaintShop Pro, for that matter.
