The screen is pressure sensitive

It looks like the screen is actually pressure sensitive at least done with finger or such devices. All you need is to use the right app which provides adjustable curves for pressure control.

Try using Ravioli Paint which lets you change the curvature and start painting drawing with you finger

This might be due to the size of press point as well, in any case it just feels like pressure control to me.

so the screen is "stupid" touch and needs palm recognition to proper write on it?

The screen has no palm rejection because the pen is mainly for the keyboard area.

When I say the screen is pressure sensitive I was referring a special use case where the pressure sensitivy of the screen (via touch) can be used to control pen thickness, opacity etc like the pen.

got that. so the "write on screen" as on SP4 is not possible but you need the virtual kbd in tablet mode?

Yes the screen is not pressure sensitive to the pen, however you can use the pen on screen via "any pen". If you are into drawing the tablet area is far superior to SP4 ntrig, I used to have Surface Book and I hated it. The screen is nice the batter is great but the pen is piece of junk compared to wacom. It has no subtle sensing. I felt like I was drawing with a knife on a glass surface.

One nice thing about having a separate drawing area and no palm rejection on the screen is that you do not have to move your pen from the surface area to do finger gestures on the screen. WHen there is palm rejection you always have to move the pen away from the screen to use finger gestures or finger touchses since both wont work at the same time.
