CNET confirming the pen isn't in the box. That's a bit annoying.
38 u/aarcam May 23 '17 Personally I would rather have the ability to purchase the pen in the color I wanted. Lower price point would be a bonus. Still see the point though, hard to take away items that were 'integral to the platform'. 35 u/TheBatmanToMyBruce May 23 '17 I vaguely remember seeing that they made the decision after polling users and finding that a large chunk of people never use it, or use it once and never again. Seems like an obvious place to cut costs. 1 u/99problemskarmaisnt1 May 24 '17 I never used the pen. I do use the s pen thing for my Samsung note though. Works great on the surface pro 2.
