I can definitely see the market, and not just for artists. The ease of reading scientific PDFs, and also the potential to use this in landscape mode in Split View (reading/researching one side, taking notes on the other), gives this the potential for a big role in the student/grad student/academic market. My partner, a scientist, abandoned his laptop long ago to make his iPad (4th gen) his primary device. There's an oldish iMac at home for a large-file storage dump and for whatever tasks can't be accomplished on the iPad, but it doesn't get much use. The weight of this substantially larger-screen device is barely more than the iPad 4.
