It's awesome, but if it weren't for patents, we would have pens on every device with a touch screen now. I use wacom styluses for work, and mind, they're egregiously fine, but wacom is trying to protect their own interest with the cintiq series.

It's about time there's some active competition in the field.

The new X1 Yoga, shipping with a pen, makes me think it's actively the best device for notekeeping just besides the Microsoft Surface (and comparatively cheaper to booth).

I only wonder if they improved on their pen accuracy though.

I also found the 256 pressure levels offered by n-trig to be generally insufficient for artistic work (for comparison, even the cheapest wacom tablet has 2k).

That being said, it's awesome that we're finally getting a pen in these devices, and not some toy that you need to use with a glove.

The pen on surface pro 4 has 1024 pressure levels instead of 256.

Do you have direct experience with it? Any improvements in the tracking quality of slow lines?
