While these advances are coming, they are not here today – at least not completely.

Improved latency: All devices mentioned above will see improved latency.

IAF: All devices mentioned above will see "fine-tuning" of IAF.

Pressure levels: All the devices mentioned above will see improvements "up to" 4,096 levels.

Devices that (eventually will) support new Surface Pen enhancements: Surface 3, Surface Pro 3, Surface Pro 4, Surface Book, Surface Laptop, and Surface Studio.

A similar real-world analogy is how a Sharpie marker can lightly brush against an object and leave a mark versus a pencil. Initial activation force (IAF) refers to the amount of pressure needed for a pen to trigger an inking event on the PC – the lower, the better. The new Surface Pen supports this feature, as well, thanks to advanced hardware. too, but simulating it on a PC is not easy – after all, it's just plastic on glass and the computer does not "know" the difference.
