Drawing, digital art if you have a pen.
Writing, research if you have the keyboard.
I still use my pro 4 for both.
The biggest con among other things is the Microsoft store. Horrible apps/games. Best use is business apps like CAD and office. Pen and keyboard are always expensive and usually always sold separately.
Yeah the a15 iPad mini is quite a bit ahead on raw performance vs this and the same price. Note that ARM windows is not compatible with many x64 apps.

That's the thing. Is that this probably closer to a mobile experience than it is x64. This is an ARM based machine, meaning you are limited to apps/drivers built for ARM windows which there is far far less of than iOS. You are worse off with this than the iOS app store in terms compatibility and available software.
Some people don't like relying on mobile OS (iOS specifically) due to everything moving toward subscription model, difficulty managing files, updates that kill apps which may or may not get abandoned at any time... The list goes on.
Apple products are slick and even reasonably priced if you buy older models, but they're still not for everybody.

It's a slow computer, by modern standards, but great for mobile work. Terrible on your lap. Cellular is a big plus. Better than iPad for multitasking and browser. 8GB memory is a no go except for single app usage, IMO. I've had several of these.
