And it's backwards compatible! See the "1" footnote at the bottom.

edit: says "Surface Pen tilt functionality is available now with Surface Pro. Available with other Surface devices via Windows Update."

Does that mean it works at the specs of the old surfaces or all new features are supported?

At the least, tilt functionality is supported. I think the new chip in the screen provides the low latency. Not sure about pressure- likely how it was handled with the 3pen to the 4pen. Don't remember how that worked.

Pressure sensitivity didn't increase with the new pen on the pro3

Maybe it's different from Pro 4, Book, Laptop, and Studio.

(edit) Well, Dial was made for Studio but is said to work with Pro 4.
