There's Toshiba tablet which uses a new wacom pen that has the same tech as ntrig, this could be it.
Though , I'm not sure if that had a tilt sensor.

Can't believe this thing doesn't have 3D touch.

I was looking at the Surface Pro. Was Windows 8 a better fit?
W10 is far better as a tablet OS than W8.1 imo

Windows 10 is better but most of the software isn't designed for tablets so you are stuck with an Ultrabook.
What killed this for me was all that price and power and they decided to choose a mobile OS instead of os x......if the powers there give them the full fledge experience especially since this directly takes on the SP3 which has full windows. If it had OS X.....I would definitely be interested in getting one.
First generation product, I'll be surprised if they don't put force touch on second generation.
I was thinking something similar...
Far better functionally. Better battery life, better CPU utilization. Sleep settings actually work. Actual support for touch gestures in the browser (Yes, Microsoft shipped their brand new high tech browser without gestures! That the last one had!). On screen keyboard that actually pops up in all programs, not just Metro ones. Far fewer random ridiculous bugs (such as the Windows store completely disappearing on me, causing apps to stop launching. Also for some reason Windows 10 seems to forget my Outlook settings every 3 days.). Touch targets that are actually hittable and dont result in endless frustration (task view, WTF).

Well that's disappointing to here. I'd imagine all Surface Pros come with 10 by now, and not 8 huh.

A $99 stylus sold separately that you can't store inside the ipad itself? wat? wat is this Apple?
Yeah, I also don't understand why they—ignoring the prices—don't even offer a 256GB version.
It's not just a regular stylus. It's a pen with pressure sensitivity, a tilt sensor, and an internal battery. Similar pens for graphics tablets (for instance from Wacom) are in similar price ranges.
Yeah, they do. I'm sure everything will be ironed out eventually in Service Pack 12 or whatever, but the release of Windows 10 shows that touch is back to being an afterthought over at Microsoft.

If your an after effects user, why would you use it on a surface pro/iPad and not a laptop?
I think Windows 10 was released a bit early and maybe touch wasn't the highest priority. There's a big update coming in November close to the release of the SP4.
I even downgraded my laptop because it was losing 15% of the battery overnight vs. 2% with Windows 8.
If Windows got one thing right on touch, it's their side by side app functionality. It really works and is very useful. iOS9 will have this as well it seems.
Yeah its crazy that I can walk away from my SP3 and come back to find its battery completely drained from 90% because hibernate didn't take. Insane.
I use AE on my desktop PC, but that's not the point, the point is that extra functionality is there via windows or even osx, having a mobile os on something like this is just crazy to me
for people thinking a pro digital artist can't use this, check out this Adobe software that is a year old at this point. Will be amazing with Apple Pencil and an update from Adobe.

I feel like this is pretty amazing for digital illustrators but maybe not so much for other uses.

Microsoft includes an adhesive loop you can stick on the keyboard but I just carry the SP3 stylus around in my pocket or case when I take out my tablet. Dont need extra holes in my tablets.

o god i want one plz kill me. pen and all.
Yeah I use the loop on the SP3 keyboard, but its not exactly elegant.
Seems like Apple didn't even bother trying to find a solution for this.

I don't use Adobe AE with non profit/government clients. Don't use it at home. I've personally never heard someone say they won't get an iPad or Android tab because it doesn't run After Effects. Is it suppose to be a big deal that people are waiting for?

if youre primarily looking for a tablet, why not got an ipad air instead?
Surface is not very good as a pure tablet. That is probably the best way to look at it: iPad Pro for a tablet experience, Surface Pro for a laptop experience. I cannot imagine the Surface Pro 4 fitting your needs in any situation if you're looking to use the device as a tablet first and foremost.
As a surface pro lover, I would definitely agree with this.
I wanted a functional stylus. Also technically the SP3 was a replacement for my MBA, as I already had a Mini.
Here's some first impressions of the pencil by someone who seems to know what they're talking about. He also compares it with other stylus tech, such as Wacom.

Gotta say, thats very promising.

Don't forget that Windows 8 had stylus drivers that didn't shit themselves when waking up the Surface from sleep. My stylus is 100% is useless now.
That's a lot of storage for an iOS device.
Yes it is as a pro device. This thing is about as useful as an asshole on an elbow for professionals. Content creation is getting more demanding every day. I need fast hardware that can run the apps I use not some ipad that can only run shitty ios apps.
Surface on Win8.1 was a pretty decent tablet. As I said in previous posts, my main complaint is that Win10 feels like a step back in tablet functionality.

Super excited for Pencil...from a note taking standpoint that will be huge. I've tried like every stylus on the planet and they're all crap. Plus that whole sense memory thing that gives paper note taking a huge over typing might actually solve itself. I just hope someone puts effort into a handwriting to typeface app now; I'm a much better writer on pen and paper but it's just so damn time consuming to type it out...
