Answer
Yes. You can use the iPad Pro as a drawing tablet but you have to download an app on the MacBook and the iPad in order for it to work, the App is called Duet Display.

Answer
I have used regular standard styluses, Pencil by 53, ReGear Pro and a few others and by far the Apple Pencil blows them all out of the water. As a scribe, I do a ton of writing and I'm somewhat picky on what I use. For my tablet (iPad Mini) I wanted something that gave me the fine tip design with the least amount of lag and skip... Nada. Purchased the iPad Pro 9.7 and also the Apple Pencil... the perfect match. Writes as smooth as a gel pen on paper, very very small lag if any at all and no skipping. Writes as clear as pen on paper even with cursive!!! You can use it at an angle for thicker lines. I hope Apple makes a pencil for the other tablets... They will corner the market. It is costly, but worth every penny. Do note the Pencil as of 12 May 2016 is only for the iPad Pro and iPad Pro 9.7

How long does it take to charge the iPencil? Then, how long is the use time and standby time for the iPencil?
I don't believe my questions requires a description. But, that said, my iPencil requires a charge every two or three days with long standby periods. I still use my figure a lot; even on script Apps. Yes, I recognize that the pencil is better, but better isn't always necessary. Thanks.
