The days before Surface Pen
Microsoft’s Ralf Groene held a fascinating session on stage at the company’s Ignite conference this week. Groene is responsible for the design of Microsoft’s Surface tablet, and he offered some unique insights into the early days of Surface. While The Verge previously visited Microsoft’s Surface team back in 2013 to see early prototypes, Groene revealed this week that the tablet started off life in a sketchbook.
Microsoft has since made the Surface Pen an important part of its tablet, and the company even acquired technology from N-trig recently to underline that. While Groene discussed the past, he refused to answer questions about the future. Microsoft only just released the Surface 3 this week, but the more powerful Surface Pro 3 model is nearly a year old. Microsoft previously promised that accessories like the power adapter or Type Covers won’t change for the Surface Pro 4.
