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 very happy with the Pencil, the look and feel will remind you of an actual pencil. I was very surprised with the performance of the pencil, there is no lag when using the pencil to draw or write notes. The battery life is incredible, takes around 17 seconds to charge and lasts for 43 minutes.
Smart Keyboard available at Best BuyThe new Smart Keyboard for iPad Pro has all the utility of an ordinary full-size keyboard, but its technology is far from conventional. The entire keyboard is draped with a custom-woven fabric that has been laser ablated to precisely define each key and ensure a satisfyingly fast and natural key feel. Below the surface of Smart Keyboard is a new conductive material. At just 0.1mm, it is nearly as thin as a piece of paper, yet strong enough to withstand a lifetime of folding. And it's why you won't find any batteries, cord or on/off switches with Smart Keyboard.

I am very happy with this keyboard. The keys have actual travel and feel very good. When not used you can fold the keyboard away and it doubles as a screen protector. The only drawback I have noticed is that the keyboard is not backlit and is a little hard to see sometimes depending on the lighting.
Designed specifically for iPad Pro 12.9" (1st Gen), the Silicone Case protects the back of your device and is designed to pair seamlessly with the Smart Cover for full front-and-back coverage. The smooth silicone material feels great in your hand and protects your iPad Pro while maintaining its sleek, beautiful design. Available in two colors, charcoal gray and white.

I am not a big fan of cases, but this case is not to thick and feels very nice. I use this case with the apple keyboard and they work seamlessly together.
With its epic Retina display, the 12.9-inch iPad Pro is the largest and most capable iPad ever. 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 and LTE connectivity,1 and up to 10 hours of battery life.2 And with powerful iOS 9 features like multitasking, built-in apps, and more in the App Store, iPad Pro elevates productivity and creativity to a whole new level. Yet iPad Pro is only 6.9mm thin and weighs just over 1.5 pounds. When you add Apple Pencil with its pixel-perfect precision, and the incredibly thin Smart Keyboard, iPad Pro becomes even more versatile.*

The IPad Pro surpassed all my expectations. I can honestly say that my IPad Pro runs smoother than my 2012 macbook pro. I find myself using the IPad Pro more than my macbook. The only time I reach for my macbook now is when I am writing code. The battery life is great, I typically use the IPad Pro around 6 hours a day and the battery lasts for 2 full days without charging. The display is very sharp, pictures and video look beautiful with very vibrant colors. I am very happy with this purchase, as a matter of fact I am writing this review with the IPad Pro.
