The Pro screen is a little different too. The iPad Pro doubles the motion detection to 240hz when there is any kind of touching going on, which reduces the latency when drawing. My understanding is that this significantly adds to the cost of the hardware, and is why we don't have Pencil support across the entire line.
I thought that the Pencil does not use a radio a la the Wacom, and is purely Bluetooth, but I can't find any source to back that up so I could be mistaken.
- jrockway 10y agoWacom technology powers the pen through induction, other vendors don't do this. The Apple Pencil and whatever Microsoft calls the pen that the Surface Pro uses require a battery.
- egypturnash 10y agoI had a Surface Pro for a couple months last year and I don't recall it really having a Name. It was just "the stylus" or "the pen" or "this goddamn NTrig piece of shit that doesn't talk to Illustrator properly".
- jrockway 10y agoI also have a Surface Pro and never had any trouble with the pen. I "upgraded" to a Cintiq Pro, and have to say that it's a downgrade in many ways. The screen resolution is worse, the parallax is worse. The pen is better, but honestly neither of them feel that great.
- egypturnash 10y agoThere are software issues with Illustrator losing the first half second of stylus strokes on the SP4. Very frustrating if that's the program you do most of your work in.
- klodolph 10y agoBluetooth is a radio protocol, I was being being deliberately vague when I said "radio".
- Eric_WVGG 10y agoFair enough. I was thinking in terms of those proprietary wireless mouse dongles.
