I am not sure silver (like my phone) or spacegrey
- Which Capacity?
Wi-Fi 32GB
- Accessories?
Pencil, Smart Cover and a sleeve for the iPad
- What will you primarily use it for?
browsing the web, streaming videos and most of the time for note taking at the university with the pencil into pdfs
 
Gold, 128GB WiFi, Apple Pencil, Apple Smart Cover and Sleeve for front and back of the iPad Pro, i'm hoping i can get all of that for around £1000.

It will mainly will be used to draw, write notes, use software such as Adobe Sketch, Photoshop fix, Final Draft and other software like it. It will also be used to watch TV shows and movies that i've brought through iTunes, also to listen to my subscription service to Apple Music and play the odd game.
 
going with the gold 128 gb and the keyboard. will use it mostly for content consumption, movies, work administration tasks using xenxapp/citrix receiver. big screen should be very nice for remote desktops and server management. whoo whoo, can't wait, sold off an old macbook pro and iPad 2 to raise the dough. crazy expensive though.
 
Want to try it in apple store first with pencil and assuming its as good as I hope then go with cheapest model plus pencil, and use tethering if out and about. Expect space gray, will use for pencil notes (!) , office suite, markdown and text editing, studying (web or pdf or video casts). Should cover all my mac can do except development and database stuff. AS small 32g only ill need to look at wifi stash or similar to gat at documents that can't be stored, presume with only 32g won't be able to sync photos or music, so will stream where possible.
Don't see need yet for keyboard if on-screen good enough, or look at 3rd party ones that are cheaper.
 
My thoughts exactly....
My configuration exactly.... ;-)

Space gray 128GB w/ LTE and Apple Pencil. Not yet sold on the keyboard (never really needed one for my regular iPads, not sure I'll need one for the iPP).

Hopefully Apple will sell a standard Smart Cover or Smart Case for it.

iPad Pro preorders are approaching and I was curious as to what configurations everyone else had in mind, especially since I'm having a bit of difficulty making a decision myself.

I don't think I'll be doing any serious note taking on it requiring the keyboard, since I'm no longer in school and have a 2011 MacBook Air which functions very well. I will probably choose the space gray finish since I prefer the black bezels for viewing video content. I'm very interested in the drawing aspect of it since I do design work, so I will definitely be getting the pencil. I just don't know if I should spring for the 128GB model. $799 for the iPad is kinda the sweet spot, but I don't know if 32GB will be enough.

So the questions are:

- Which finish? (Silver, Gold, Space Gray)

- Which Capacity?
(Wi-Fi 32GB: $799
Wi-Fi 128GB: $949
Cellular 128GB: $1079)

- Accessories?
(Apple Pencil: $99
Smart Keyboard: $169)

- What will you primarily use it for?

I will be buying whichever model takes the best photos, for use at concerts. To shame all the losers taking pics with puny phones.

You are kidding right ? Get a little little digital camera - it'll be better than either device and you won't get a slap from some like me standing behind you when you block there view. I in fact generally get people thrown out but security if they stand in front of me with a device in the air. Idiots

They're not stupid, they want you to pay an extra 150 for 4x the storage. Why do you think they still have the 16gb iphone? So your more compelled to pay the extra 100 for more space.

Nobody wants to buy 16 or 32GB device anymore so 64 and up is more common for all kind of devices be it iPhone, iPad, etc...look at bigger megapixel, 4K video, large size of apps, etc.

32gb Space Grey with the Apple Pencil

I've been using my iPad as a laptop replacement since the iPad 4 (Tried with the iPad 2 but the program's just weren't there at the time) so I'll be using it for writing, spreadsheets and presentations. Also, I'll be using it to draw my webcomic. www.drawncloser.com

128GB cellular in Silver. Primarily to play XCom.

I feel like I see you in every iPad Pro thread talking about XCOM. It's really funny. And awesome. I bet XCOM on at a nearly 13" screen will be killer.
 
Which finish?
Silver.

Which Capacity?
128GB WiFi+Cellular.

Accessories?
Apple Pencil. Apple Smart keyboard but would prefer a simple case...

What will you primarily use it for?
Read comic books with IZNEO app and magazines with ZINIO app, surf the web and maybe learn to draw (but OSMO told me they are not compatible with the iPad Pro).

 
It is weird they don't have 64gb.

Just a bit strange. Not a big deal, but it makes you wonder. I'm thinking they may add that to the lineup later.

Maybe it was supply constraint, this being the most popular variety these days?

Maybe

But anyway, i'm going to have go for 128gb then. With the pencil and keyboard.

Geesh this is going to cost me :D
