Since I suspect not many artists lurk around here, let me just say this: the newly updated pressure curves make a _huge_ difference. It was one of the few complaints I had with the device. As it is, it's an almost perfect tool for artists. Say what you will about Microsoft, but this is a fine machine.

I'd really like to get a surface pro 3 at some point for on the og type stuff. I really like literally sketching things out and when I tried the surface at best buy I loved the feel. I'm doing a lot to learn higher math that I never did and it seemed pretty great for that too As a side note, one thing I've noticed on hn is actually a lot more love for what Microsoft does right than I might have first predicted. That's not to say that it's all great all the time but level heads opinions seem to surface pretty quickly. I'm not in love with ms myself, but I really like and appreciate a lot of what they're responsible for, which includes the surface. Going to have to get one.

Have they improved the pen tracking? For example, using a ruler can you slowly draw straight lines at a 45 degree angle? [0] In my experience with the SP3, the N-Trig pen tracking was far inferior to the Wacom pen in the earlier Surfaces. The poor tracking made my handwriting unacceptably sloppy-looking. I'm surprised artists can use it, but maybe you use mostly faster and longer pen strokes?
