The 'regular' iPad (and presumably this cheaper iPad) do not support the Apple Pencil. There are Chromebooks with wacom pen support e.g. Samsung's Chromebook Plus/Pro [1]. Those Chromebooks start at $499. The iPad Pro starts at $649 (+$100 for the Apple Pencil).

- sykh 9y agoI know only the Pro model of the iPad supports the pencil. I'm assuming - hoping! - these new iPads do as well. I did not know about Chromebooks having pen support. Given this I don’t see how Apple can make a compelling case for the iPad. When the iBooks development software came out I was excited. I create my own materials for my college math courses and I wanted to write a book. But iBooks is only on Apple devices so why would I spend time creating materials for iBook? Apple needs to open up some of their stuff if they want a wider adoption in education.
