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.

I am admittedly an Apple fan. I'm a graphic designer and have typically used a Wacom Cintiq tablet paired with my Retina MacBook Pro or my iMac. When the original iPad came out, I had dreamed of creating amazing art with it. I was wrong and it was pure junk for artists.
Years later, enter the iPad Pro. I had actually been shopping for Microsoft Surface Pro tablets but found mixed reviews and I'm not a fan of Windows. I got my hands on the iPad Pro on launch day but had to search high and low for the Apple Pencil. I'm so glad I did!
Very low latency..almost none on certain apps. The feel is fantastic and pressure sensitivity is perfect. There are no settings for the Pencil but luckily Apple nailed it so I don't have the need to adjust it at all.
That said, I've had it a few days now and I'm in love. I'm creating cool art on the fly for my clients and just having fun drawing again. It's been a really long time since art was this fun. I know $99 isn't cheap for a "stylus" but this one is worth every penny. I hope this helps some potential buyers that may be on the fence. Will you magically be transformed into an award winning artist? No way. Will you love using it if you enjoy art? Absolutely!
Imagine being able to go wherever, to do whatever, whenever you wanted — to hop behind the wheel and just drive. From the bustling streets of New York City and Los Angeles to Miami's beaches and the stunning plateaus of Monument Valley, the freedom to take the country's coasts and interiors by storm, in a finely tuned, customized vehicle, is a feeling of pure exhilaration. Being able to share that journey and build a street-racing legacy with your tight-knit crew of friends makes for a gameplay experience like none other.Put the pedal to the metal and get behind the wheel in The Crew, a next-gen racing adventure that allows you to explore the U.S. in its entirety, from coast to coast. Build your crew of four through companionship or rivalrous adversity, and then embark on your quest to improve your rep in the underground-racing world and infiltrate and ultimately overtake the 510s, a gang grown around Detroit's street-racing scene. Explore downtown city streets, suburbs, hillsides, cornfields, canyons, desert dunes, race tracks — any terrain imaginable. Customize and tune your ride to suit your driving style and enhance your vehicle's look and performance. The obstacles in front of you are challenging, but remember — drive fast, drive hard and never drive alone.
I am a huge fan of racing games..I have just about all of them. This game has lack luster graphics, horrible controls and game play, and is not worthy of next gen consoles. A true disappointment.
Purchased the game from Best Buy and spent about 2 hours playing it trying to find a setup that worked. After 2 hours I threw in the towel. Went to Gamestop and sold it for $30 same day. Paid $60, sold for $30 and couldn't be happier to get rid of it.
If you like sim style racing, buy Forza 5. If you like open world free driving, buy Forza Horizon 2. If you like arcade style racing, buy Need for Speed. In any event, don't buy this game! Worst game I have ever owned! I've never felt so compelled to write a review.
Hope this saves someone the $$ and aggravation I went through. Cheers!
