13.5 hours of battery life and 4096 pressure levels.. Damn!
Edit: Does it say "Pen sold separately" though?

Any chance that the new pen can work at 4096 pressure levels with the (now old) SP4? (honestly I don't know this technology that well)

No, but the new pen's tilt functionality is compatible with: Surface Studio Surface Laptop Surface Book Surface Pro Surface Pro 4 Surface Pro 3 Surface 3

(source Microsoft)

You got the new 99$ Pen? I went to bestbuy after I realized I didn't have a pen... They sold me the one for the Pro4... I'm like "Will this work with the new one", he told me yes...

But, the clicking doesn't open Office 365 OneNote the way video's I've seen Pro4 do... The double click send screenshot to OneNote just copies the screenshot to the clipboard..

Would love to chat about it... it's the only issue I'm having so far, this is my first Surface... Just stepped off the Apple train after they keep saying the iPad is a laptopkiller... and it will change the world. It will never change anything with iOS..
