All new for $600. I either have the choice of sticking with this setup, or selling it and waiting for the next release of the iPad. I'm just released of the price hike, as well as how smoothly the first generation of these new iPads will run with face ID. My usage would be companionship with my Macbook Air or using it by itself on those days I don't need much horsepower, as well as using it as a media consumption device.

That's a good price for the entire kit. If I were you, I'd just keep it.
Jump all over that deal. That is a lot of kit for $600. I have a 256GB SG 10.5 with the Apple Pencil and I use the Logitech Slim Combo case and it is an outstanding package. However, when I bought mine, I paid $1100 with taxes and Apple Care.
Really good price! If youre tight for cash, and use those accessories, then that deal is hard to pass up.
Im personally excited for the new form factor with face ID. I was perfectly happy with my iPhone SE until I saw the iPhone X. Likewise, Ive been on my iPad mini 4, and I had thought I was done buying iPads; but I guess we will see what the refresh will bring later this year. If you want something new and can afford the accessories later, then wait. But also note that the prices of old iPads tend to go down and on sale once the new ones are out.

That’s a great price I paid £968 for my 256GB iPad Pro 10.5 plus the Apple Pencil and Smart Keyboard. In Apple land £1 is $1 so it’s like paying $968 so you have a bargain there.
