Just purchased the following 2 in 1 laptop.
Product Description: HP ENVY x360 - 15t-bp100 CTO
Product Number: 1ZA18AV
Intel i7-8550U Quad core CPU
It has UHD display (3160 x 2140) but I'm unsure of the pen support. It is described as Pen and Touch support with 10 touch points. The HP chart does not clearly specify my model number shown above. I believe it can use an Hp (active?? ) stylus but not the a smart type that is pressure sensitive. I want to be able to use the laptop with an art program like Rebelle II that is designed to use pressure sensitive stylus pens. In order to do that, if this computer won't support it, I'll need to return it and find one that will. Only specific answers will help, so a link to that HP chart or general answers will not. Thanks for reading my post and for answers that will address my question.

See the following HP document for active stylus pen compatibility.
https://support.hp.com/in-en/document/c05166879
Your notebook's product name series is on the list, but unfortunately, you have not supplied its description specifically enough. There should be two letters at the end of the product name.
From the TechSpec for your notebook: Supports active stylus compliant with Microsoft Ink

Is CTO at the end as shown above what you mean? This is in reference to my post you answered.
Yes. CTO stands for configured to order. Were there two letters past the 100?

Actually it does. I have slightly under 3000 photos in threads that I have replied to in this forum. See the toolbar that is at the top of the window when you post. There is an image of a camera and it says Photos.

Unfortunately, the images you supplied are not really viewable. They were rejected by the Moderator who reviewed them.
I have access to the same document that I provided you with a link to.
On further perusal of the document, I do not see your notebook listed among those that are compatible with an HP active stylus.
I wish I had better news for you but I don't.
I am leaning toward realizing that perhaps you should have chosen a notebook that was delivered with an active stylus.
You did choose one that was not delivered with a stylus.
