It just made sense to walk over to the next room to use my powerful PC. And when COVID hit, I used my Surface Pro 6 even less because I didn't need to go anywhere. Consequently, I barely used my Surface Pro 6 at all. My brother replaced my old PC into a beast right around when I started Hijabs and Aprons, and I started using it for ALL of my photography and video work. After a couple of months of heavier use, I realized it was still a drag to edit images on, and it starting to stunt my creativity. At that time, I wasn't filming videos and I assumed the new Surface would be able to handle my 5D MkIII images just fine. So then, I went ahead and purchased the Microsoft Surface Pro 6.the base model. As time went on and I upgraded my photography gear (from Canon 7D to 5D MkIII), I found myself resorting to using my phone to edit images because my Surface Pro and even my PC at the time couldn't handle the full RAW images. I loved it and enjoyed retouching images and doodling on there. It was a huge deal to have a full PC in the form of a tablet that also addressed the needs of illustrators and photographers. When I graduated college in 2013, my family gifted me the ORIGINAL Microsoft Surface Pro. At that time, I didn't do photography, graphic design work, or video editing on my laptops because I always had a custom PC my brother built for me. My first three laptopsįrom the end of high school through college were various Windows laptops intended for note taking and general browsing. All you need to know is that for the first 30 years of my life, I never owned an Apple device. I could throw out a bunch of reasons why I didn't/don't like Apple or why I didn't give in to the popularity of iPhones and cute phone cases, but I won’t.

The thing is, I gradually became a deliberate non-Apple user. And when smartphones became a thing, I hopped on Android immediately.

I've always been a hardcore Windows PC user. What’s the big deal? Everyone has Apple devices…
