I dunno.

I've bought more pen computers running Windows than I can easily count (and am still salty that Apple has yet to make a replacement for my Newton --- an iPhone w/ Apple Pencil support would be pretty close).

The big problem is that they've followed Apple/Android's lead in "dumbing down" the stylus input to an 11th touch input for many cases --- even now, in Windows 11 I have to leave the Settings app open on my Samsung Galaxy Book 3 Pro 360 so that I can toggle stylus modes between working w/ legacy apps (Macromedia Freehand/MX) and current applications (OpenSCAD Graph Editor).

That aid, I've gotten to the point where I'm about to give up -- most likely my next major tech purchase will be either a Wacom Movink 13 or a Wacom One 13" (Gen2) w/ Touch and a Raspberry Pi 5.
