Once I install it, do I write directly on the screen with my fingers or I need a special pen? If I need a pen, where can I get it?

It comes with a pen. The pen should be used on the screen of the unit. No worry.

Once you install the software you can use mouse or pointer to write on screen. (but you need to connect the USB Penpower first, no Penpower find software will not load)

Hi Colleen!Yes! You can use our stylus pens with any device or screen that you can use your finger with as well (commonly referred to as capacative touch).

I do not understand the question - the pen is a pen with ink and it writes on paper - the stylus is a stylus used on a touch screen with apps to make selections. The pen should not used on the touch screen unless you want to damage the screen.

Hi James! Unfortunately, this pen is just made to replace your fingertip on any capacitive touch-screen device (for swiping and tapping, etc). We just launched a new pen that is both a gel point pen and a stylus combination, which you can see here: http://www.amazon.com/The-Friendly-Swede-Precision-Replacement/dp/B00FFURRYC/ref=sr_1_1?m=AP0GL3AYI3XW1&s=merchant-items&ie=UTF8&qid=1383921394&sr=1-1&keywords=ballpoint Hope that helps!

My order came w/ both a standard black plastic stylus (which does not work on tablet or any of these newer touch screens. And it also came w/ a tablet/touchscreen stylus (if that's what you call it). the touchscreen stylus is nice (a bit small but it was free) if you don't want to get your screen finger print smudges. You can always order more here on Amazon for like a buck or two.

Hello. The only stylus I have available to me is the kind NOT for writing; it has the large rounded soft top which works well for just poking around on the screen. Just tried it out and that works, but I cannot say anything worthwhile about WRITING anything on the screen. Perhaps someone else may have experience with this? particularly with some better styli out there.

Yes you can. The device comes with a stylus but the screen is actually pressure sensitive. This means you can even do finger art.Just want to add something. Some lines (made with very light pressure) can appear on screen but may not appear in the saved version (PDF). Not sure why bu I guess the save is not as sensitive as the actual screen.

Lenovo doesn't offer one & its probably a bad idea. A pen may scratch and/or damage the screen. The fingers work very well on this computer. I've learned that a light touch works best. A gentle swipe, a feather touch, is usually all that is needed. The screen is highly responsive to touch. I often use it without a mouse to just browse, read the news, etc.

Dont forget any aftermarket fix is never the same as factory tuned. Did you made sure the digitizer and the glass is properly glued together? Sometimes if the job is done improperly it can create a gap so try to make sure everything is set up properly first. Your pen is also much more sensitive tool as it fires magnetic pulses when touched with the screen. Long story short these pulses might activate the screen response while your hand might no longer be able to set it off

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.

It has a 1080p screen, but does not have the digitizer board so a digitizer pen will not work. Most programs do not have ultra high resolution support yet so the icons and buttons look really small and on a 12.5 inch screen they are annoyingly small.

You have to use it to master it. It's a matter of adjusting to it. I also noticed that all of the stray bubbles disappear after awhile from regular use. It works better with your finger rather than the s-pen for scrolling in some instances.

it is like the tip of your finger; your finger is not a fine point. I don't profess to know the science behind it, but I know that all styli have wider surfaces. Probably because the touch screens are programmed to respond to surface areas the size of fingers. Also, not sure if this is valid, but this prevents scratching I assume. I wondered the same thing, but bought it anyways. Rest assured, you can write very precisely with this! There is a tip covered by the disc, but your tablet/phone should always use the center of the disc (i.e.: where the tip of the pen is) to see where you're writing, so it works out.

No. This model does not have a digitizer installed. It's an earlier run than the ones that are currently being sold on Lenovo's website.I've tried a couple different stylus tools on this screen with little success. However, the touch recognition from fingers is excellent. If you need to write on the screen by hand, I recommend shelling out the extra cash to get the one directly from Lenovo that comes with the digitizer and pen.

It's to write with. Like on paper. As for the stylus tip I don't cover it. There's no need to. But you might want to try a band aid on it. Lol. Hope this helps you out.

My mistake, it DOES come with one, lol (gave it to my father and forgot). Actually, it's not bad. I've seen some people use stylus' with a lot of force, causing the tip to completely deflate/cave in, but I just tested it out, and you barely need to touch the screen, for the phone to recognize it. Used it to unlock the phone, then played around with it a little bit once inside. It wasn't recognized when trying to use it on the back/menu, but everything else seems to work with it just fine(pulled down notifications, types on keyboard, opens apps, etc). It's about the same size as a pen, maybe a tad shorter and wider.

Once the stylus touches the screen it starts to work. You don't have to push hard, works when I hold the pen lightly. If you have a screen protector you can write or push as hard as you need to just like when your writing on paper. Hope I answered your question.
