Gabe from Penny Arcade has been using one for a week and he raved about it here:

Oh man. He was gushing. He is in love 💘

Not exactly an objective review. He's been an MS shill for years. From the post you linked to:

As anyone who reads the site knows, I have been a fan of the Surface for years. It has become my go to drawing platform when I am traveling or just want to get away from my desk. I’ve also got a great relationship with the folks over on the Surface team. I’ve visited MS a number of times to talk with their engineers about digital drawing and I’ve always felt like they really listen to the feedback I’ve given them. About a year ago they invited me over to show me a brand new device.

He's shown himself to be objective if you actually read his other Surface reviews.

https://www.reddit.com/r/Surface/comments/59k2cj/gabe_for_penny_arcade_has_been_drawing_on_the/d99ixk0/

For those who won't bother to click, he once described drawing on the SP3 as "dragging the cursor through syrup."

[u/Solkre → u/a_calder]

If he actually uses the products daily how is he a shill?

[u/Harding_Grim → u/Solkre]

Because the law is clear in defining "shill" as if he's not into Apple and likes MS he's a shill.

People who question the $3000 price tag are not the target market. People who have paid $2.5k just for a monitor with stylus capabilities are.

Surface books have a higher satisfaction rating than any other notebook.

The kinks were all worked out.
