Surface Pro 3 : Pen writing and drawing demo ( Digitizer Stylus )




Okay, here's the first "Review" of the actual Pen that I've been able to find. Now I really wouldn't call this a review because it's just more of a demo than anything else. I think because of the programs he uses to "show off" the Pen actually does make it worse. One Note is aimed strictly for handwriting and even though it looks fluid and responsive, I'm not really impressed with the line weight distribution. I wonder if there is a set up in the programs menu or the Computer itself to change the pressure to each person actual handwriting style. From the looks of the video, he is practically trying to write 'through' the monitor by pressing very hard, and the line weight never gets any fatter than what it is.

As for the 'Drawing Program' that he shows off the drawing aspect of the pen, not impressed at all. For starters, using Fresh Paint program that comes bundled with all Surface Pro's is about as rudimentary as they get. This isn't a program that any self respecting artist would ever use. This is the kind of program or distraction app you give a 4 year old something to do so as not to have to watch them. To really test the mettle of the pen, it has to be run through Top Shelf programs like Photoshop and ArtRage, which allow for pressure adjustments. The Fresh Paint on the Surface Pro 2 that I've messed around with at Staples doesn't offer anything like that. Well, it's something I have never been able to find within the program that is.
