is this easy to use to write notes on a tablet with? my surface tablet has a hand writing feature, would it work with that

Easy? Not really. It isnt as fine a tip as I would prefer.Do-able? Certainly, with a learning curve requiring patience until you can accurately predictThe appearance of the outcome. Doesnt always mark where you think it should be marking.

Its sutch a soft tip so its best not to use in my opinion. But its still nice to point out apps. It can be good to write but the tip may teer off.

Not necessarily. It's a soft point tip that compresses on touch. Really the only tablet with high precision would be the note due to its calibrated own. But this is nice to simply use to navigate through Web pages etc. It does work slightly better than your finger, but not for writing due to the soft tip.

I have a Bluetooth key board, so I don't use the stylus for note taking a alot. The times I have it seems to work great, the length does help keep the other fingers and palm of the tablet. It might require some practice to adjust from what you may be currently using.

And if your use of this heavily depends on hqbdwriting, I recommend samsung tablets with s-pen or surface pro. Thinkpad tablet has digitizer calibrition issues.

Yes, but only as a stylus. It will not function as a surface pen. Do a search on 'surface pen' and you'll see what the differences are. My Surface 2 does not make use of the surface pen functionality.

Microsoft Office (including OneNote) only draws with the pen. You can even rest your writing hand on the screen and it should only respond to the pen's input.

I have the surface pro 2 also and the pen registers at about an inch from the surface. Also, there is a better driver for it if you haven't already downloaded it. http://us.wacom.com/en/feeldriver/

The short answer is "Yes". Now, the long answer is if that's actually something you'd want to do on such a small device without a physical keyboard. A tablet like this is better to consume media than to create it. Unless you are planning to invest on a bluetooth keyboard and get the right office apps for it, I wouldn't count on this Tab for typing long documents. Again, you can do it, its just not practical or comfortable. But you certainly can.

This stylus would be great for taking notes, however there are cheaper options that would work just as well. The main feature of this one is that it has multiple levels of pressure sensitivity. This is great for drawing, but if you're only taking notes you might not need that feature. You could go with the Jot Flip, Jot Pro, & Jot Script.

It is very nice for reading, which is the my main use for this tablet, but for heavy work I have a Surface Pro 3.I used to own a Surface RT and Surface 2. Comparing with those for reading is more suitable and you can run legacy apps.

As long as your tablet is bluetooth compatible. For me the keyboard has worked on many devices: Acer iconia, Ipad, Ps3,Lg optimus l9, and a few more. I think it should work with the surface; I dont see any reason for the keyboard not to work.

I upgraded from the Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 to this model two months ago. The S Pen technology is wonderful, although I decided to also upgrade on the pen itself (to a design more similar to a regular pen because the included one is quite small). I'm amazed at how well it can read and convert my handwriting to text. I used it to take notes at a meeting yesterday and it was great. Printed them out and was good to go! I think you'll find this model will more than meet your needs, and this is a great price because it is a prior year model.

The advantage of this over a table and how easy it is to take notes. I also have an iPad Air, and this Chromebook is way easier for taking notes or writing a paper or report. The keyboard rocks.

I have not used the note-taking feature. I do have colleagues who own the Samsung Note 3 and they use the note-taking feature all the time. You would have to research different types of stylus also, because the Tab 8" does not include one. Friends tell me that finger note-taking can be a clumsy adventure at times.

I don't know about notetaking because I haven't tried. I can tell you the stylus fits like a pencil or pen in your hand It makes the same kind of strokes as same and they are a little longer than other styluses and easier to control. Donna

You can write with it -- yes. It will take a little getting used to and I would not expect to use it as a replacement for pen and paper. But it works well enough for me.

I had it for a few months and then I switched to the surface 3. It worked great with the pen for me. It actually made the writing experience much more natural in my opinion and I never noticed wear to the pen after taking extensive notes in all my classes. Would definitely buy again

Not on my nexus 10. The point is smaller than a traditional stylus, but my nexus 10 doesn't do good free hand notes with any stylus.
