If anyone actually has this in hand; I get the improved refresh will help with lag, but any other notable improvements?

I'm looking to use Manga Studio/Clip Studio Paint with Astropad - anyone who has specific experience with these programs?

Can I ditch the idea of buying a Wacom with this model or is that model still coming?

Thanks!

My 12.9 is not here yet, but I'm a creative professional and I personally think this will replace the need for a Wacom. I'll certainly let you know after I've spent a few days with it!

Thanks! Just out of curiosity, which program are you drawing with?

yes, thanks to the new display, in procreate you feels the pencil low latency. Its because of the display refresh rate and not because of the A10x

I haven't done too much testing yet, but the latency is so much lower with the new 120hz refresh on the display. When using notes you can see no gap between the tip of the pencil and the line being drawn when moving quickly. On the old pro it was definitely noticeable.
