That's a weirdly worded question. "What are the advantages of this device, if we pretend these two advantages don't exist?"

I'm not even saying that the Pen is indisputably better than the Pencil, because I truthfully think they better suit separate needs; the Pencil seems better at actual drawing/painting but little else, and the Pen is better for overall productivity and note-taking but lacks some of the painting precision that the Pencil has.

But here are some of the Pen's advantages.

  • Battery. You don't have to worry about recharging it and dealing with the absurd charging method Apple has employed. When your Pen runs out of battery in a year or so, you just replace the AAAA battery and get on with your day. And you don't have to deal with the cap going missing, which many people have complained about with the Pencil.

  • Replaceable tips. Different artists like a different feel to their drawing utensil, and the Surface can offer that.

  • Magnetic connection. The Pencil may conveniently roll onto a side that displays its logo prominently, but it doesn't have a convenient storage option like the Pen does. It's a little detail, but something that's goes a long way after hundreds of times that you pull it out of the bag with the Pen ready and waiting as opposed to having to reach for the Pencil separately.

  • OneNote/Cortana integration. You said to ignore the eraser, which we will, but said nothing about the button on the eraser, which enables near-instantaneous access to note-taking features and voice-search. The former is especially helpful in a school/work environment - get to writing what you need immediately without having to hunt for the appropriate app - much like the Camera shortcut on the iPhone.

  • Better usability outside of sketching. Watch this video of a guy sketching a shoe with an iPad Pro and count how many times he tries to tap a button or drag an item on the screen with the Pencil and resorts to using his finger instead (also note how many times he tries to erase with it...). Simple selections are annoyingly difficult to accomplish and slow down your productivity when you're just trying to quickly change your brush stroke. I haven't seen any video of the Pen in use that demonstrates a similar frustration.

    These are just the ones I can think of at the moment. Again, if we ignore the eraser and the side button. Frankly, I expect that Apple will add some of these features to the Pencil in a generation or two, just as Microsoft will add tilt recognition and better precision to the Pen.

You can get the official 4-pen-tip set, which includes a more roughly textured pen tip designed to help with this (as well as a more slippery one which is meant to be more fluid).

Those are indeed Surface Pen tips for the new Surface Pen. What about them seems wrong to you?

When you pull the tip out of your pen (with your fingers, or tweezers), you'll see the new Surface pen's nib is the same as the HB tip in the set you linked. There's another set that Microsoft sells that I can't seem to find on Amazon.co.uk but can find on Amazon.com that sells a removal tool that can help remove the nib if you can't pull it loose with your fingers.

I really don't know, but according to this link: http://www.amazon.com/Microsoft-RJ3-00001-Surface-Pen-Tip/dp/B01697GO4S#productDescription_secondary_view_div_1453673300227 the tip kit is only compatible with the surface pro 4's pen

If you do art, then here are 4 tips. Seriously, I like them even though I haven't really used them so far (a new SP4 owner too).

You don't get any extra nibs when you buy a surface pro. just what's in the pen, but they sell pen nib packs. Here's the link: Surface Pro 4 Pen Tip Kit

the reason the SP3 nibs were free was because you cannot buy them in store. the SP4 nibs are available for purchase at MS, AMZN and Best Buy for under $10, you also get a holder and 3 additional nibs.
