I recently purchased an HP Chromebook ex 360. What’s the best stylus pen to use for it?

[DDrake1]

My laptop is an HP Chromebook x360 -cb0013dx….I purchased a Targus styles pen. Didn’t work. I saw a review that said it didn’t work for him either. I want to make sure I get a pen that’s going to work on my laptop.

Any recommendations?

Found in the maintenance manual

HP Active Pen L73384-001

====================

What if?

If the pen does not work - or you cannot find one to purchase...

If you wish to do so,

If your computer has a touchscreen,

If an active stylus is not an option on your machine,

Consider a Passive Stylus / Pen

This is not the same thing as an active stylus, of course.

Passive pen works like your finger on the touchscreen.

Thank you so much for the recommendations.  If they maintenance manual sites a specific active pen stylus, that’s a pretty good endorsement.

I am using a passive stylus now. It’s not ideal; Sometimes I  see gaps  in the pen strokes, and it doesn’t move across the screen very smoothly.
