Penny Arcade web comic artist Mike Krahulik (Gabe, @CWGabriel) recently got a chance to take the Surface Pro for a test drive and wrote this exhaustive post about his experiences.

It's a great read and filled with useful nuggets for artists hoping to produce professional quality results with their new tablet.​

Check it out here.​ He also posted a YouTube clip demonstrating his inking with Sketchbook Pro.

Inking over a sketch on the MS Surface Pro. Software is Sketchbook Pro.

The artist's write-up is so good that it prompted Apple defender John Gruber at Daring Fireball to write the following: "How ironic would it be if the iPad becomes the dominant mass market computer and the Surface becomes the one for artists?"

Ironic indeed!​
