“In regard to palm rejection when using the Surface Book in application like Word, PPT, Onenote, etc... how well does this Surface palm reject? I tend to rest my hand on surfaces like paper when writing, highlighting or drawing. Thanks”

The Ntrig technology used in the surface line of products is some of the best in the industry for palm rejection when compared to competing active area touch displays. I use my surface book for graphic illustrations and have no problems seamlessly switching between touch with my left hand and pen with my right, no more weird artists' glove! Handwriting and application gestures (pen gestures) are just as smooth as when using photoshop or clip studio for my line of work, as it is in Onenote. I have, however, ran into some oddities when using my left hand to draw when the default is set to using my right hand (can be changed in settings), but I might place the blame there on the fact I am usually at an awkward angle doing some rather unorthodox movements, probably hitting multiple parts of my hand on different sections on the screen at the same time when its expecting the reject towards the right side of my pen input. Don't really assume everyone is going to be using the pen ambidextrously as I sometimes do -- just something worth nothing.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.
