Can anyone give an opinion as to why this might be a better interface than a Surface Pro Tablet? I am a professional video editor and have been curious to see how this Wacom would work with Adobe Premeire or Avid Media Composer. Or is getting a Surface tablet a better way to go? Working with video i wouldnt need the fine detail that an illustrator or designer might need for paint strokes or lines. Thoughts?

DaddyFettAs a video editor myself I can guarantee you would not have many things to do with a Wacom Cintiq that you can't do with the Surface Pro Tablet, you can read all about their specs online. Both of them have a high quality display, but the Surface Pro is a little computer on it's own, the Wacom Cintiq is just a monitor meant for the sole purpose of Drawing, Painting etc..
Here are the Wacom Cintiq specs: http://www.wacom.com/en-ru/products/pen-displays/cintiq-13-hd#Specifications
And here are the latest Surface Pro Tablet's specs: https://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msusa/en_US/pdp/productID.5072641000?icid=Surface_Cat_ModB_SurfacePro4_103116

ork24Well... I suppose you would be limited in compute power since the Surface Pro can't be used as an external display so you'll be limited to the Core m3 on the base Surface Pro for similar money. Also limited ram, 4GB on the base model. The Surface Pro has a technically nicer display @ 2736 x 1824 vs the Cintiq's 1080p... dunno about color accuracy tho.

techwizAlso true, while the display is indeed nicer it also comes with a cost, money wise and power wise. But at the end of the day people are doing some amazing artwork with both, it all boils down to how you use your assets, so for a video editor in my opinion both of them wouldn't even be necessary. I have a SteelSeries Rival 500 Mouse and I can program each and every one of the buttons to a different function, works wonders when it comes to video editing and extremely easy to use. When it comes to color accuracy both of them use IPS, it's just the standard.
