Should you buy an Apple Pencil?

Question

Apple

Gentlemen, is it worth buying an Apple Pencil? A friend wants to do design just for fun, he has an Ipad and some drawing apps from Adobe. Is it convenient to draw on the iPad with the Apple Pencil? By design, he most likely meant ordinary drawing. How is it with pressing force, does the drawing on the screen keep up with the hand? And then I had a graphics tablet, there was a very small delay, but it was very noticeable and terribly pissed off. In general, those who managed to use this device, explain -> is it worth taking?

Answer 1

There are no delays at all, especially with the latest iPad Pro model, where the screen refresh rate is 120 Hz. In general, in terms of feeling the plausibility of the drawing process and its proximity to the real, as "on paper" iPad Pro with Pencil is perhaps the best. But you need to understand that you get apps on the iOS platform in any case, for example, applications from Adobe on iOS are quite simple in functionality, you don’t get the level of desktop Photoshop or Illustrator. There are a number of applications, such as Procreate, Sketchbook Pro, Graphic, like people create, there are reviews, everything is serious and on a level. Yes, and I hope you know that the Pencil will only work with the iPad Pro, you won't be able to draw with early iPad Airs and others. In a word, I would personally say so; if just for fun, then definitely iPadPro+Pencil, you definitely won’t have to regret unambiguously, in principle, there is no decent alternative. If there is a question of more professional compliance with Adobe desktop applications and you need mobile work, then we either use the WacomIntuosPro + Laptop (Mac, Windows) bundle, or take a Microsoft Surface 5 tablet with a stylus, install the necessary desktop applications and work, but even on the latest Surface There are lags when guiding the stylus, not very noticeable, but there is.
