Hi all, just got the above machine and I'm trying to work out what stylus I can use with it.

I've tried all the documentation on the HP site, done the usual google searches etc but have come up blank!

 

I'm guessing I'm able to use a wacom bamboo ink or the HP pen?

What about the wacom bamboo ink plus or HP tilt?

 

Thanks in advance 🙂

Unfortunately, I can not see any compatibility listing for a stylus with your notebook. I have exhausted all of my resources and can't find any stylus that is guaranteed to be compatible with your Spectre 15.

 

Even in the marketing blurb there is no listing of a delivered stylus.

Usually if a high-end notebook is not delivered with a stylus there isn't one that is compatible with it.

 

It also was not listed in the HP Tilt pen documentation as compatible. I did check.

Thanks for the reply 🙂

 

I'd reached much the same conclusion as yourself.

Would you say it might be worth trying an HP active pen?

If not, then why would that be?

 

Many thanks

Sorry to have taken so long to reply.

 

Just because a notebook has a touch screen does not mean that a compatible stylus exists.

 

That is why it is wise to select a notebook PC that is either delivered with a stylus or one that is advertised as having an optional stylus.  In your case you selected a notebook that did not fit in either situation. 

You are not alone others have tried the very same thing you are attempting.

 

I would not waste my time or funds purchasing an HP Active pen  if I were you.
