Review on πŸ–ŠοΈ Enhanced Apple Pencil (1st Generation) by Rolando Munoz

Revainrating 4 out of 5

I really liked it

Did I really want to spend 100€ on a stupid stylus? Absolutely not. However, I wanted to be able to take some handwritten notes in OneNote on the iPad Pro. Pros: As many have pointed out, latency is negligible (one of my biggest complaints about the Surface Pro 3). The weight is very comfortable and natural writing. At first I thought it was pretty silly to plug it into the bottom of my iPad to charge, but it charges quickly. I can write in great detail. Cons: Battery life is about the same as the iPad itself, which isn't terribly impressive for a stylus (but it makes up for it with the speed at which it can be charged). Very expensive. The removable cover is dull (stupid). Very easy to lose. I highly recommend paying a few bucks for a cap. It doesn't really have room for an iPad (it doesn't have a stylus and/or loop slot). That's why I bought a magnetic case that allows it to stick to the edge of the iPad. I think Apple should give some tips. If you're like me, I don't particularly like the feel of writing on glass. I'd rather have a rubber tip than hard plastic so there's a bit more resistance when writing, making it feel more like a pen/pencil on paper. But I was definitely able to get used to the feel of the writing as it is. I know my list of cons is longer than the pros, but considering the purpose of the pencil, the pros, I really learned how to use the pencil and use it almost every day.

Pros
  • Normal price
Cons
  • Dubious purchase for old people
