unalbe to use an active stylus in onenote with my hp envy 15t

[visionary73]

I am trying to utilize my HP ENVY - 15t Touch Laptop Product number: X6W16AV to take advantage of the  microsoft onenote application that comes with the computuer.  I have purchased two active stylus that should help me write notes directly on the touchscreen. So far, both pens have not worked. any suggestions on if there are any active stylus out there that I can use to write notes in Onenote? I have tried a non-active stylus as well and the same result. the only thing that has worked is my finger, but it i am not able to write very well with that. thanks for any help

HP ENVY - 15t-as100 CTO

I am sorry to report back:

I did not find your model listed in the stylus compatibility document.

You should double check in case I did miss something.

Information for those reading / looking for Stylus information:

First, find the computer's Model name:

HP Notebook PCs - How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number?

Next, search the document for a compatible stylus:

Which stylus is compatible?

HP PCs - Touchscreen Compatibility with Pen and Stylus

If there is an HP Active Stylus available for your model, it will be included in the document.

Hints: 

• Open the document in your browser
• Click open both (all) categories (business and consumer) to expand the lists
• Examine the lists to find a match to your computer model
• Product Name contain an “m”? Consider this to be the same as the model with no “m”.
  • Example: HP Envy x360 15m-bp011dx is the same (and uses the same stylus) as HP Envy x360 15-bp011dx
• Use CTRL-F to open the webpage search bar – type in the model type of your computer, leaving off the “HP” prefix and stopping just before OR just after the “dash” in the name. “Less is better”.
  • Example: Spectre x360 15-   or   Spectre x360  or  even just Envy x360 (no size designator)
• If a match is found, examine the results to determine if there is a pen for your model group
  • Example: matches for Spectre x360 15 include model groups: Spectre x360 15-ap0xx, Spectre x360 15-bl0xx

So, there is no stylus at all that will work with this $1600 machine? not even a passive stylus?

Yes, as mentioned in the document, you can use a passive stylus.

Passive stylus works the same as your finger.

Can be used to interface with menus, icons, programs on the Desktop.

Brand does not matter..

I have an old Pogo passive stylus I bought for my original iPad.. works on the touch screen.

Passive stylus does not work with art work, Windows Ink, or a bunch of other specialty softwares.

Use your favorite search engine to find information on “passive stylus”.
