Talking points for your demo
Made better by Neo.
You know the hardware. Here’s what each part of it does once a lesson is live in Pencil Spaces: the story to tell in your next demo.
Fanless design
No fan noise from thirty laptops.
Nothing extra in the lesson, or on anyone’s microphone.
Beamforming mics
The speaker’s voice, not the room’s.
Apple’s mics, plus our AI noise cancellation on top. Add headsets for a full room.
500 nits · anti-reflective
The board stays readable by the window.
Handwriting, diagrams and video stay clear in a bright classroom.
1080p FaceTime HD camera
A clear face on every tile.
Add an iPhone as a second camera, and the class sees the work on the desk too.
Up to 16 hours of battery
Fewer chargers on the desks.
Apple quotes up to 16 hours of video and 11 of web browsing. A live lesson uses more.
A18 Pro · 8 GB of memory
The call, the board and the apps, all open.
8 GB is twice the memory Pencil Spaces needs.
It runs anywhere. It shines on Apple.
Pencil Spaces runs in any modern browser, so a mixed fleet never blocks the deal. On Mac, iPad and iPhone every lesson does more, and teachers can see it.
Apple Pencil
Write on iPad, straight onto the board.
iPhone as the desk camera

Safari
Nothing to install. Add it to the Dock.
