I am using the Apple Pencil (2nd Generation) with my Apple iPad Pro 12.9″ (3rd Generation).

With my new Apple iPad Pro 11″ (M4), I could not reuse the Apple Pencil (2nd Generation) as it only supports Apple Pencil Pro.

After seven years with my Apple iPad Pro 10.5″ (Space Grey 256GB) (Wi-Fi + Cellular), it is time to upgrade to the latest Apple iPad Pro 11″ M4.

Since my brother frequently flies for business trips, he helped me get it from Singapore Changi Airport to save on the 9% GST.

I wanted to see if the third generation iPad Pro 12.9″ can be a laptop replacement when I am traveling, act as an entertainment device when I am at home, and allow me to do blogging when I am in a cafe during weekends.

Bought an Apple Pencil (2nd Generation) so that Li Xiang can draw on it as well.

Apple Pencil (2nd Generation) is retailing for S$189 in Singapore. If you bought it at the airport, you will be paying S$176.64 as it is tax-free.

In Singapore, the Goods and Services Tax (GST) is 7%, so to calculate the amount you will be paying, just take: (1 / 1.07) * $amount.

The Apple iPad Pro 10.5″ is my fourth iPad.

My first iPad was the iPad back in 2010, followed by iPad 2 in 2011 and finally iPad Air in 2013.

Li Xiang has been drawing a lot on the free FiftyThree’s Paper iOS app lately. That is because she is designing for our new house which is going to start renovation after Lunar New Year (8th February 2016).

I knew about the FiftyThree Pencil when it was launched back in November 2013. I figured that Pencil should work very well with Paper, much better than a normal stylus.

The Apple iPad Pro which is a 12.9″ iPad is now available for pre-order in Singapore and 39 other countries. If you pre-order now, you will get it on this Friday, 13th November 2015.

Similar to the iPads, it comes in three colors, silver, gold and space grey. Only two storage capacities are available, 32GB and 128GB. For 32GB, only the Wi-Fi option is available.

I love Just Mobile’s stands, the quality is just fantastic. I got the Just Mobile HeadStand from Bangkok, Thailand and when I saw the Just Mobile UpStand in Hong Kong, I immediately bought it.

Just Mobile UpStand is an solid aluminum stand that is compatible with all iPads (even iPad Mini) whether the iPad is in portrait or landscape mode. It weighs 329g and measures 15 x 15 x 17.7 (cm).

Parallels Access for iPad is a remote desktop app for iPad that allows you to run any application from your Mac or PC, and it is designed to give those applications a native feeling on the iPad.

A year (12 months) subscription of Parallels Access for iPad will cost you US$49.99 (S$64.98) via the Parallels Access iOS App in-app purchase.
