Re: Got it.... and bummed. The store had no pencils or keyboards.
It is interesting to note that some stores are getting a trickle of pencils now but at least the store I was at today had not seen any except for the demo units they had out there.
I am hoping that by next month they will be a little more accessible as I think for not taking it will be the best solution option. I am trying the 53 stylus now and it is not bad but having a hard tip will make note taking much nicer I think.

Pencil seems like a necessity at launch! Definitely a must have accessory :)

Ordered my Apple pencil from Best Buy online on Friday and it is being delivered today...going after work and get my 128gb Pro.

I clicked on the link for the Pencil from Best Buy but all I get as an option is to check stores. I was all ready to have one this week but no matter what machine I look on it only has the check stores and according to Best Buy there are not stores within 250 miles that has it..
Not sure how they came up with 250 miles as I would not even drive 50 miles for it.

Let me just say, I'm not in the graphical design, artistic area or any similar profession.
I've had my Pro since the 19th - primary uses are email (AltaMail), Todoist, GoodNotes, Evernote, Browser, Youtube & Twitter & Facebook posting/reading). It has replaced my Macbook Air at work but I still use a Windows laptop for our time clock software and two other programs.
I thought I'd want the Pencil but so far, using my finger & the Musemee Notier V2 Precision Stylus ($16.99) that I ordered way back in August 2014. It's great for precise writing, filling out PDF's in GoodNotes, etc.
At this point, it seems that I don't need the Pencil after all.

Blasphemy!!!

Good to know you don't "need" the pencil :) thanks for providing your perspective. I think a lot of people fit the same profile and may think the Pro is not something that would be right for them.

Rumors on the Internet are saying that the Apple stores will have Pencils in stock on Black Friday. Not sure how many this would be or if it is worth battling the crowds but figured this might be of interest to some what might be going on Friday anyway.
