Although I found the Classic Pen a little less comfortable than the Grip Pen at first, due to it's slimmer design and lack of rubber grip, I soon came to appreciate the little pen. I find it easier to write with the Classic Pen as it more closely emulates the feel of a actual pen but I still prefer the Grip Pen for drawing and navigating around the computer. A friend came over to test the new tablet and she immediately preferred the Classic Pen over the Grip. She said since she has smaller hands, the pen was easier for her to use. Overall a great pen that's perfect for smaller hands.
