I use my iPad (and I pencil or whatever it’s called) for reading technical books, legal documents, tech documentation etc. then I write notes, thoughts, todos, questions all over it, it’s extremely useful for summarizing a boring document, then going back any pulling out the important bits

I also use my iPad for dissecting sheet music in a similar way

One day I hope to stick it on my wall and have a max headroom type avatar that greets me and turns on my roomba etc. until then value I get out of the above ^^ is worth the silly price tag

Oh and I also read comic books on it

Perfect. I'm glad I find someone with pencil experience. How fast do you write notes on technical documents with apple pencil? Is it almost as smooth as writing on a notebook with real pencils? One of my concern is the lagging of all those devices.

It’s not a new device, there’s been a few generations since then but it’s still close to perfect, I can scribble notes as quickly as I like and don’t notice a problem. For the highlighter I tilt the pencil a bit for a fatter highlighter, I’m sure it would be a good for artists.

Hit up an apple shop and try it out… I’m really not a shill for apple, I thought the pencil was stupid until I got it and started using it (I can buy a pencil and eraser for a £), I’m not saying it’s _worth_ the cost, but I love it
