The new Multi-Touch subsystem in the new iPad 9.7" and iPad Pro gives Apple Pencil striking capabilities alongside pixel perfect precision. Using incredibly sensitive pressure and tilt sensors, Apple Pencil instantly recognizes when you are pressing harder or shifting its angle. So you can vary line weight, create subtle shading, and produce a wide range of artistic effects — just like with a conventional pencil.

Silky Smooth

Great stylus. Works so well with the iPad Pro. I use it for writing, so I can't comment on its artistic merit.
I did purchase a magnetized cover for it to keep it with the iPad, since otherwise it's difficult to keep it with the iPad since there is no loop or magnet to do so by default.

Fully portable, the Smart Keyboard unfolds easily and connects to iPad Pro with no batteries required. The Smart Keyboard combines an array of new technologies and materials to create a keyboard like no other. Fully portable, it connects to iPad Pro easily, with no batteries required. It also folds neatly into a light, durable cover for outstanding protection.

Good Keyboard, Not as nice as Other Apple Products
on August 1, 2016

Verified Purchase:Yes
It's a bit noisy, and the keys are understandably small, but the travel is good.
I like the covered keys (to prevent spills affecting it) and how it folds up with the iPad.
Sometimes the keys get stuck or the software gets stuck, so I can't use the Command-Tab to switch apps, not sure which.

The 9.7-inch iPad Pro delivers an unprecedented combination of portability and performance. At just 6.1mm thin and weighing less than a pound, iPad Pro features the brightest, most advanced Retina display ever with True Tone, advanced sensors that adjust the display to your environment for even more comfortable viewing. It has a powerful A9X chip with 64-bit desktop-class architecture, four speaker audio, advanced iSight and FaceTime HD cameras, Touch ID fingerprint sensor, ultrafast Wi-Fi connectivity, and up to 10 hours of battery life. When you add Apple Pencil with its pixel-perfect precision, and the incredibly thin Smart Keyboard, iPad Pro becomes even more versatile.*

Good (Almost Great) Laptop Replacement
on August 1, 2016
Posted by: icosahedron
Verified Purchase:Yes
I bought this iPad for myself to replace a larger MacBook Pro. For this purpose, it fulfills 80-90% of its goal.
First, with the keyboard and pencil, it is basically a laptop replacement. I was able to write my thesis on the tablet and only had to go to the laptop for formatting adjustments.
And the battery lasts forever. I can go a fulll day and still have 30%+ on my battery after using it all day long.
Standalone (without network connectivity), I can do basic work such as document editing, email, etc. Also, I can do light software development work via Dringend and Continuous.
When I'm connected, I can do anything as I would on a laptop since I can just connect to a computer remotely.
Where it breaks down is really the fault of the software, not the tablet itself. The software versions of most of my programs aren't as feature full as the desktop versions. For example, Word doesn't have paragraph spacing on the iPad. These are minor, but frustrating when necessary.
If you know that the software you use is good enough, then it will work. Otherwise, you might want to get a MacBook or some other small laptop that has the full functionality.
