It is a tremendously beautiful device that (along with the keyboard) tricks you into thinking it is a laptop. But potential buyers should think hard about what they need from their next device. If one does not anticipate using the Apple Pencil, then that person could save a bunch by buying a MacBook Air on sale.
I bought this for my wife for Christmas and she thinks it is too big therefore not very portable. I guess that is my fault more so than the IPads. But I still give it only 3 starts since she rarely used it.
