And I'm still not sure what the point is, its still easier for me to type using the magic keyboard. Maybe for some people its easier to write with the pencil than to use the touch keyboard.
It's easier to type pure text, but I'd bet taking notes in a math or physics or biology class would be way faster using a pencil than a keyboard (even more so when excercising your math) - you often need to jot down diagrams and complex multi-line equations. The 2d nature of real paper is completely lost with the 1d abstractions of the keyboard.
It’s an easier mode for me when standing and holding the iPad with one hand and the stylus in the other. The keyboard is nice when sitting and using both hands for sure. Same was true when using my old thinkpad tablet in the same way.
