I bought an electronic pen for my iPad—which has had pen support for the last five years—at the last MacWorld in San Francisco in 2013 and which I have been using for two years. I just threw away a magnetic keyboard with full stroke keys for the original iPad last week, which I long ago passed down to my daughter, which she no longer has. I found physical key covers awkward to use as I had to find a flat surface to place them on and they did not really work as a laptop. . . and I've tried several, some with built in kick-stands that pre-dated the Microsoft kick-stand. /Case Closed.
Clearly you don’t understand the technology behind the pen/pencil support ;-)
Also that pen you bought for the iPad was that an Apple pen? Or 3rd party? Plus it didn’t work with a digitizer (like the iPad pro has...which is really a copy of the tablet PC (windows XP) if you really want to go out school. But reality is they added the pencil to compete with the surface. How long until they create a tablet MacBook with touch support? I think it will be about 3 years before Apple catches up with the surface book.
But honestly I like the copying of each other...it makes things better.
Show me a link where an APPLE tablet has a kickstand.
Is that like "settled science"?
