Perfect if you only using it for illustration and animation purposes. When I got this in 2020, it was used primarily for drawing and animating in applications in Photoshop and similar apps and I had no problem! At first, I was even able to run games on it, but that very quickly stopped being an option as over time the computer would overheat and shut down. This started happening in other applications as well like Photoshop and when I attempted to stream and record my art, the computer became unsuable.A fan underneath the "tower" part fixed the overheating and helped it run smoother but because that is attached to the monitor, it's not a viable solution for when you need to tilt the screen down to draw as now it's at a taller height that's just enough to make drawing on it impossible. For the price, it should not have been doing this after six months but I managed to make it work. As I started going into 3D and game development programs the past year, I figured the Surface Studio 2 would be able to handle it since it was running fairly smoothly again but sadly that hasn't been the case. On pen and paper, the specs of this computer should be able to handle it - an i7 processor, 16GB of RAM, etc etc, and the fact that it was designed FOR this purpose of being for artists. I was really hoping this desktop would be my all-in-one when I bought it but it's just not versatile enough to handle it despite the fact that at this price, it really should be. I ended up having to buy a gaming laptop and monitor to run Unity on which was 1/4 of this price but was worth it for portability, gaming, and performance. I still use this for drawing but switching between these two is a pain and I can't justify replacing it just yet after what I paid.
