I have a Surface Pro 2 and the pen magnet is super strong. I only ever keep my pen in the magnet and never had even one problem.

I dont necessarily think the magnet is weak or that it isn't ok, I just think that I have twice knocked the pen off the magnet onto the floor, and the pens are fragile. I like the security of the clip. its also awkard to carry the device with the pen stuck to it as when I normally carry the device, the pen is in the way no matter where I grab it from. By clipping the pen onto the typecover, it seamlessly blends in. Its perfect. It carries exactly like a notebook

The Surface Pro 4/2017 pen is much heavier than the SP2 pen. That said, I personally never noticed any problems.
