@frankm Yeah. I haven’t tried an Apple Pencil, but I very rarely use my surface pen. The nib has gotten better in new releases, but it still feels like dragging plastic on glass to me. Blech!
@frankm When the Apple Pencil first came out I thought it was probably more hype than big step forward. I had tried several alternatives that promised great results that turned out not so great. But I finally decided to try one (with my iPad Pro 9.7”) and it was indeed a big step forward. I agree with @cheri that it lacks the joy of “real” media work but it certainly has it’s place. My meetings are fast paced and I could keep up better with the iPad+Pencil than I could with a paper notebook. Really surprised me. Bonus was could distribute and file electronically without having to transpose from paper later.
@cheri To me the newer nibs of the latest Surface pen feels like a felt marker, so I am fine with that. What is an issue is the slow refresh on the Surface 3. Keep in mind it has a slower Atom processor so it is not equivalent to the current machines. I think it’s just that the processor and screen refresh of the iPad Pro is that much better. Glass is glass and I doubt you will ever get an exact like pen I paper experience.
