If you like to erase that way, you should really enjoy the sensation. Most reviewers have already mentioned the Surface Pen's eraser tip, which really feels like a rubber eraser on both new and older devices. I don't know how Microsoft achieves this trick with their new hardware, but it's very convincing. Although the nibs feel great, pressing harder doesn't provide feedback. This isn't the case when you use the new pen on a Surface Pro 3 or other N-Trig DuoSense2 device. You can feel the sensation of the nib moving slightly into the pen body the harder you press. When the Surface Pen is used against a new Surface Pro 4 or Surface Book, it provides naturalistic feedback as pressure is applied. You may reach an entirely different conclusion. This is all a matter of personal preference of course. I tested the nibs on one device with a Photodon MXH film screen protector and found the H was acceptable on it, but I still preferred the HB. Perhaps artists doing very fine line drawing may appreciate the hardness. The 2H and H nibs are so hard that I don't see ever using them myself. However, I found the B to be even better, approximating the toothiness of the Wacom Stylus Feel nibs I still recommend for the Surface Pro 1 and 2 and other Wacom EMR tablet PCs. That standard nib is such an improvement over the slippery 'plastic on glass' response of the Surface Pro 3 that I believe most users will be very happy with it. To console myself, I decided to apply a small portion of my refund to a new Surface Pro Type Cover ($130) and Surface Pen ($60). So despite my frustration with the Surface Book, I was despondent to let it go. The 'Surface Book is Freezing' thread on Microsoft’s support forums is currently well over 300 posts long. So I will assume that mine was an isolated, though not entirely unique, case. Although all reviews I’ve read have mentioned some niggling problems, no major reviewers have complained about frequent lockups.

There’s much to like about the Surface Book and I’m fairly certain that my review would have been relatively glowing were it not for the hardware issues I encountered. I opted instead to ask for a refund and will sit on the sidelines to see how quickly Microsoft can address the lingering issues with their new flagship product. By the time I decided to try to swap out my machine in person, I was told that the soonest I could expect a replacement was mid-December. Ignoring telephone support may have been a mistake because several others who were having similar issues were able to get replacement units after troubleshooting via phone.
