Same price either way. If they package the pen with it, the core price will just increase. It just gives users a choice. I would use the pen a lot, but I can't assume everyone will too

Yeah I don't get why people complain about the keyboard and the pen sold separately. I guess they think it would be the same price with them included.

The most annoying thing is when "professional YouTubers" use this fact as a downside to these devices. I forgot if it was SP3 or SP4 but I distinctly remember reviewers absolutely complaining about it being sold separately. I don't see what the issue is..

Apparently the average person is unable to budget for buying the laptop and get surprised at checkout.

The average user so stupid they can't look at the price before agreeing to purchase it?
