It’s crazy that it isn’t bundled at this price, but all the well-known stylii from Microsoft, Apple and Google are all optional extras so it’s not as if Microsoft is unusual here. Sadly Surface Pen (opens in new tab) doesn’t come bundled with the Surface Book, so you’ll need to shell out an extra $99/£99 for that. If you’re not going to use it, even with the best Black Friday deal (opens in new tab) you’ll be paying dear for something you simply won’t need. If you don’t think you will have a use for the tablet portion of Surface Book 2, then take a look at Surface Laptop (opens in new tab) (or, indeed, the equivalent 13 or 15-inch MacBook Pro).
