Morning,

I am pissed I missed the Apple Pencil for $116, anyone know if it is coming back from Myer at that price?

  Not sure if it'll get to $116, but you could try and match iFrog at OW to get it for $125, need to find someone who wouldn't include shipping costs though.

    Do you know what it is? It is for drawing/writing on iPad, like the surface pen.

      Savas on 06/12/2017 - 16:07

      yes I know, the surface pen has year battery life and magnetically attaches. I have no idea what Apple are thinking…

        That they want the iPad to have similar functionality to the surface? What are you getting at?

        @Savas: is the surface pen rechargeable? I don't think it is. So not really so bad for the pencil. Plus it can do more. I see what you mean, though if I were able to buy a surface pen with the same capabilities as the apple pencil and have to recharge it each day, I'd choose that (I can understand not wanting that though, eg if you are on a long.plane flight and wanted to conserve batteries wherever you can)

        @Quantumcat: do you know any advantages of writing digitally instead of pen and paper?

        @Savas: for digital art, and marking up documents without having to print them out

        You know what a surface pen is, yet suggest you use a regular pencil?

      • 

        Savas on 07/12/2017 - 16:38

        @Ryanek: Yes I know, I would rather buy a regular pencil however the Surface pen looks good.

    50 pack of pencils for $3.40
    You could get 34 packs for $115 which is 1700 pencils.
    If you used one each day that would last you over four years!

  Faaaaaaaaaaark … is $116 considered a good price for this?

  Is this one of those signs you have too much money?

    The feel in the hand and the precision is far beyond any other stylus I have used. Money well spent.

    Ryanek on 07/12/2017 - 09:36

    Yes its a good price. The Mircosoft equivalent is $139.95
