I've read online this has a dedicated GPU, is this true?Also, does it have a digitizer? how accurate is for note taking?

Sorry, but I re-sold it before I really used it. Ever since I saw it I was lusting for one. When I did buy one, I found it too slow for my taste, so I re-sold it before using it for more than an hour or so.

Sorry just saw your email, don't know what a GPU is or a digitizer is. Hopefully someone is reading this and can help you. Or let me know what it is and I might then know for you.Angi

This one is the 571 which does not have the enhanced screen for the pen digitizer. The 572 is an upgrade to this unit, and has the screen designed for the digitizer pen. I don't think it comes with it either though. I've seen the pen for sale on the Acer website. This is an outstanding laptop, however, if money isn't an issue, I would definitely upgrade to the 572 for use with the digitizer pen.

I would also like to know; if someone has a note edge to test on that would be handy! I don't know if they have internal differences or not.

I have not used it for that. I would think you can get a much cheaper stylus for note taking.

@Stephen, the handwriting recognition is pretty good, but can fail. Try writing gmail. :)

I am very happy with My Cintiq 13HD. The only issues I have is the A/C cord is not optimal for movement but I don't see how they could resolve that without it being a tablet. I would also recommend a fingerless wool glove so your hand can glide on the screen. Just a suggestion.

Note = phone, tab = tablet :]Tablet is probably more capable, but I don't own the note and don't use my tablet for drawing. Sorry if I'm wrong. Definitely Google it just to be sure!

Hi, this notebook does not have the touch screen function. This is something I did not want however if this is a must have for you maybe you should consider another model.

The yoga 11 I ordered from Amazon did not come with a Digitizer Pen S note. I returned this computer because ofWindows 8 RT and re-ordered the Yoga 11s. It did not come with a Digitizer Pen S note either but I am satisfied with the computer.

I bought from Klick Online because it does have the digitizer pen. (I needed to buy through Amazon to be able to use AMEX points so couldn't buy through Lenovo.) It is a slightly older version (11/2013) which does have one dead pixel -- a problem I thought was resolved with the computers built in 2014. Other than that, it has been fine and the pen works really well.

Note Taking App , (Paper) is their app they have a few other apps Pencil works with. It works well but for some screwy reason the company does not want to add a "Import image" to there App! Lots of user requests but they are being stubborn. Better to think of it as a Real Paper and Pencil. If you want to draw on a image I use Sketch Book Pro. Hope that helps

I originally had the Note 2014 edition and replaced it with a SP2. Ultimately, I wanted to - take notes with a stylus- work with Word (work/school)- annotate PDFs with a stylus- Full web browsing (teach online, so full browser was key)Ultimately, Android is terrible at handling PDFs (seriously, check the reviews for PDF annotating apps) whereas Drawboard and OneNote are perfect for this. Also, native Word beats any and all attempts by other programs. OneNote + Wacom Stylus = perfection in note taking.And... as a bonus, all the desktop programs work. I can do everything with my SP2. I still had to lug around a laptop if I wanted to do Dreamweaver, etc. with my Note 2014.Your use-case may push you in another direction.

I believe it's the digitizer and not the pen that makes this model cheaper. I think another pen would work, and the touch screen on this model works well, but not as well as the model with the better digitizer. It isn't just missing the pen, it has a different screen. I think. I am far from a professional.

The version I have no functional digitizer. I suspect some models don't work with digitizer. There is also no MS office with the one o got which by the way is a 32gb version. I got the MS office version myself.

I doubt it. I wasn't pleased with the sensitivity for note taking, so for something as precise as art, I don't see it working the way you want.

Those are not good for note taking. You have to press really hard to write your notes. Plus there is no right software for it
