You can use it as a stylus to navigate, or you can use it to write, draw, and paint. There's no discernible input lag as it glides smoothly across the screen, and it feels great in the hand. Plus, it pairs automatically and connects magnetically to the side of your iPad so it's harder to misplace and easier to charge.
If you're back in class or have kids in school who need something a little more powerful than a touchscreen for homework or research, the Apple Pencil is a great addition to the iPad.
