HP Recommended
Product: Spectre x360 13-w010ca
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Hello,

 

I just got this computer as a gift. Its intended use is for school. The dual tablet/laptop nature of the product seemed like it would be perfect for school/note taking. I am looking to use a stylus or 'active pen' of some sort for precise note taking (e.g., on one-note).

 

From what I have seen there seems to be no consensus online about whether or not this model is compatible with the active pen. The sales rep who sold this computer said it was compatible but everything I see online suggests otherwise. Many say that the 2016 version is no longer supporting this function--or that to make it work, you must "extract the .bit file," I wouldn't know how to go about doing that.

 

This function is the primary reason for getting this laptop, and I may have to return it if the function is not available.

 

Before I buy any product, I would like a definitive answer. Do these types of stylus's work with this specific product?  If yes, which product(s) should I look into getting that are promised to work? If not, are there any *specific* steps I need to take to make an active stylus work? 

 

I look forward to hearing a response from the community. I will be very dissapoited if I am told a specific pen works, and I purchace it and it does not work. I would prefer not to have to return this laptop, and I would prefer it not be to late for me to do so if I recieve a run-around.

 

Thanks,
Happy Holidays.
