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

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.

The Envy x2 11-g010nr is said to have an Atmel digitizer, so both pen and touch should be supported. My Wacom stylus *does not* work with it, and I haven't found any official info about the proper pen for the device (HP's own profile for the g010nr *does* talk about an optional stylus without providing more info or a link). I have been able to find several discussions about a HP Executive Tablet Pen now available with the release of the Elitepad 900 that is expected to work with this (apparently they use the same digitizer) -- but your best bet is going to be to call HP support directly to pose the question. The verb you used was 'confirm' and this certainly falls short of that except to be clear about the inability to support a Wacom-style pen, nonetheless hopefully it can help point you in the right direction.

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

It has the ability to have MS office on it, or a less aggressive free program call open office, which you can get on the internet. Either of those would work really well for taking notes. It is absolutely perfect for taking notes. You will want to keep in mind that it is a smaller keyboard because it's a netbook. But if you have average sized hands, you shouldn't have any trouble. I really like mine, but my hands are just too big.

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.

It does not come with a stylus... This Convertible Ultrabook only uses the touch-screen, and does not have a separate digitizer for a dedicated stylus. While you can get styluses that emulate a finger, they do not work... if you're looking for a stylus that acts like a pen, you need a different computer with the proper digitizer, like the Microsoft Surface Pro (which has two... a touch one just like this one, and a separate one just for the stylus)

With all the other types of "note taking" devices on the market, I wouldn't recommend the Wacom Inkling as a "note taker" because its design is geared more towards sketching, then using that sketch in a software graphics program... Everyone is different when it comes to "note taking"; personally, I find it easier to just use a recording device (digital or tape, your choice), then playing back the recording later on to pull out the key points of what the speaker presented... Scribbling notes, for me at least, while someone is lecturing or giving a talk takes my attention away from what is being presented at the moment... In the end, as I'm sure you understand, the choice is yours... Good luck and happy note taking...!

This model doesn't have a digitizer screen. So any pen won't work. You need to buy the model with digitizer support which is probably few hundred dollars extra

It does not have the digitizer, to my knowledge only the models through Lenovo direct have the option of having it

This stylus would be great for taking notes, however there are cheaper options that would work just as well. The main feature of this one is that it has multiple levels of pressure sensitivity. This is great for drawing, but if you're only taking notes you might not need that feature. You could go with the Jot Flip, Jot Pro, & Jot Script.

I use it for OneNote on a daily basis, multiple times a day. Works perfectly for my thinkpad yoga which i believe has the same digitizer compatibility

Wow, I'm lucky I bought mine last week for $875 before shipping. It's a great notebook! However, I've been doing some searching and looks like this might be a good contender: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834127100.Don't get me wrong, I have no regrets. The U30JC-A1 runs my Steam games gets my portable gaming crave fixed and it runs Lightroom well.

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!

Yes. I use it for note taking all the time. I use Papyrus instead of the native handwriting app as I find it a much better experience. I then export into Evernote for additional organization.

You can write just like you use to. It will not recognize your hand, its impossible to do so.its easy and 99% accurate for handwriting. If you want to draw, its not as accurate as handwriting.

Yes like a true wacom tablet, It has true palm rejection technology. You can rest your palm on the screen while writing with the pen. If you plan too use it for sketching and note taking excessively though, you may want to pick up a full sized pen. From experience, the pen from the Ms Surface Pro or the Bamboo Feel pen both work well - although there are many others available.
