Pen on Dell Venue 8 Pro

Interesting!
It's absolutely accurate.
Even in the corners!
On Surface Pro (a common WACOM problem, from what I've read), the upper left corner is off. Within the upmost 1cm from the bezels, the dot wildly jumps around, up to 5mm off.
On Dell Venue 8 Pro, that's not an issue.
Obviously, the last 1mm from the bezel is a bit tough. But in general, the ink appears exactly where I want it to be.
But: The pen needs a lot of pressure. I can't just "fly over the paper". I really have to push.
For one, I'll only do so with a screen protector. Else I'd be worried about (micro) scratches.
And, last but not least, I can push for a quick drawing in the Bamboo app, when checking whether my line is accurate to the grid.
But I can't imagine, writing lots of text this way.
Anyway: Either they've improved the pen significantly (Gen 2?) or I have been lucky.
Again: For a € 350 unit, Dell Venue 8 Pro is quite impressive.

EDIT:
It's really fascinating, how accurate the pen is!
On the WACOM tablets Surface Pro or Dell Latitude 10, you don't have to press the stylus.
Just slightly brush over the display.
Here, on Dell Venue 8 Pro, I have to push down. Not much, but a bit more than you naturally do when writing on paper. Still: I like it.
