HP EliteBook Folio 1040 G3
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Hi,

 

I have a HP EliteBook Folio 1040 G3 with a touch-screen.

I was wondering if there is a compatible stylus pen for this model as I assume it should have something if it has a touch-screen.

I searched online but I couldn't find any answer. Also tried here: https://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c05166879 but my computer model doesn't appear there.

 

What about an active or passive stylus pen? Is passive should definitely work if I have a touch-screen?

 

Thanks in advance

Under the headline - "My model is not listed in the table" there is this note:

" If your model is not listed but features a touch screen, it is still compatible with a passive stylus. Passive styluses do not require batteries, do not have any configurable options, and do not use specific pen software. "

 

edit:

I Bought a simple passive stylus pen with 2 tips - one thin with hard tip, the other wider with round silicon/rubber tip.

The thin hard tip doesn't seem to work (not on the PC nor the smartphone), but the other one which is wider with silicon tip works fine (on the PC and the smartphone).

I went over again on the list of models in the link I mentioned, https://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c05166879 . Yet, it didn't change.

Is there any progress? Maybe a date that I could expect and answer?

 

Thank you for your help
