In the box, you get an iPad and a charger. You might need a few more things to make the most of your new tablet. You can enhance any iPad with the optional Pencil accessory, a high-quality active stylus. There are two Pencils; the first-generation one works with the base-model iPad, while the second-generation one works with other models. The second-gen Pencil is easier to hold because it's not perfectly round and conveniently charges with a magnetic connector on the side of the tablet. There is also a less-expensive Pencil alternative, the Logitech Crayon (we've reviewed only the first-generation model). The iPad has the best options for cases and covers. But its battery life is just okay, so grabbing a power bank is probably a good idea.
