To get the Apple Pencil, you will need to pay $99 and the Smart Keyboard is available at $169.

If you want to make your purchase in-store, then you will have to wait until later this week when Apple’s retail stores, select carriers and resellers will start selling the iPad Pro.
The Surface Book’s display can also detach from its keyboard to function as a tablet.
In an art app, for instance, that allows lines or brush strokes to change thickness or angle depending on how you’re holding or swiping the screen.
– Tim Cook, Apple CEO, on Microsoft’s newest Surface Book – for when Cook isn’t talking civic responsibility and civil rights, he’s talking trash about the competition.
Apple says the Pencil offers “pixel-perfect precision”, with sensitivity for both tilt and pressure, making it a great tool for taking notes and making illustrations.
When questioned on his thoughts about PCs, Cook wondered, “I think if you’re looking at a PC, why would you buy a PC anymore?”
To truly celebrate the iPad Pro, Apple has an advert that is out of this world. The original price at the official Apple’s store is $1,299. He said the new device is the most powerful iPad that Apple has ever made. The Mac continues to grow year-over-year at a slow but steady pace, but the iPad and iPad Mini’s incremental hardware updates have failed to halt a year-and-a-half-long slump. It’s hard to have one device replace a laptop and tablet – even if you’re Apple.
Let’s see if the iPad Pro can back up Cook’s talk.
As a few commenters have pointed out too, Microsoft’s new 2-in-1 designs do at least attempt to innovate the standards for mobile computing, while the iPad Pro is said by many to be merely an over-sized tablet. Not only can one use the full suite of apps on Windows devices, but on most iOS devices as well with no compromise.

The keyboard connects directly, so there’s no need for a separate battery or Bluetooth connection – which should mean it’s more reliable than previous iPad keyboards.
