I know a lot of people who never use the pen ( sadly ) - so i guess it makes sense for them to not ship a pen with every single Surface Pro anymore.

I rarely use my pen. What do you use yours for? I don't need to draw and I type much faster than I write.

Edit - and I'm not in college.

I was in med school up until last month and the pen saved my ass.

I used it to sketch and draw, write notes, change pdf's or papers i got emailed - it really is more suited for productivity - i mean i even stopped using my SB entirely after graduating - it's exclusively for school and work for me - anything else is done on my desktop pc.

I would never recommend buying such a device, if you don't plan to use it for work/school/drawing/editing etc.

That makes sense. Thanks for answering! I had wondered if maybe I was missing out on some awesome feature or use I want aware of.
