Of course! It's one of the greatest tools ever created.

Brilliant way of charging, not. Lol.

Brilliant way of charging, not. Lol.

15 seconds of charging for 30 minutes of battery life.

Why "not" and "lol"? I don't understand.

For what do you use it?

 

[Neoprod]

For what do you use it?

drawing on the iPad?



in the context of professional drawing tools, the iPad Pro is not that crazy expensive.

For what do you use it?

Drawing and taking notes, etc.

Because you can get a powerbank for R300 and use it over a standard... oh wait, this is Apple we're talking about.

The iPad Pro is the power bank when a quick charge is needed. I doubt anyone actually wants to charge their Apple Pencils for extended periods with their iPad Pros in that awkward position. :erm:

Why this is even being suggested is even more silly.

It's an amazing tool if you're a graphic designer. Miles ahead of Wacom or the Paper pencil.
