Hi @the-ivor,

Thanks for the comment.

Stylus fanatics have now a reason to rejoice with the numerous stylus powered devices and accessories available. The iPad Pro is the latest in this trend of stylus devices, and I'm kind of excited to see where this goes, and whether or not it will remain or if it's just a fad.

You're absolutely right, and I'm also not sure I would consider an iPad Pro with a stylus a "PC," but I'd also love to get my hands on one to try out. I've had the opportunity to test out the Surface Pro 3, and I can confidently say that I can see the Surface Pro replacing my laptop computer.

Good luck, and don't give up on Steemit, and you will surely reach a point where you'll be able to earn enough to get your hands on an iPad Pro.

Hopefully Apple will stick with their pencil... they obviously put a *lot* of work into it, and it would be nutso to bail out on it if fails to sell in high numbers right away. 

PS., I got my hands briefly on the Samsung Note 7 last Fri and the 4000 levels of pressure and high res screen quite nice. However it is dang expensive and really slippery. Not a good combo IMO.

Love the sarcasm @the-ivor, and I guess we will see how sales go for their new 'pencil.'

I personally predict that it will sell because Apple has a cult like following and they tend to buy anything that Apple releases, good or bad.

One the other hands, the new Note 7 seems quite impressive, but I'd have to agree with you that the price and the fact that the phone is completely surrounded in glass, makes it a huge liability.

That's unless an Otterbox case is added on, but then you'd have a phone the size of a brick to lug around, which isn't fun at all.

I hate fat cases. I have a friend who spends as much on cases as many phones cost... billet aluminum and carbon fiber. Yup, an iPhone guy. LOL.
