Does the Dell Inspiron 13 i5379-7302 support an active stylus?

I can't seem to find the answer to this. I know not all 2-in-1's support an active stylus. According to the specs on a Dell active stylus, the Inspiron 5379 is supposed to be supported, but does that also include the i5379? I can't seem to find information one way or another, and a sales rep told me all 2-in-1's support an active stylus, which I know isn't true. Does the Inspiron 13 i5379-7302 have a digitizer screen?

If you're ordering from Dell US, the website shows three models that ARE pen-compatible - one is currently $730, one is $780 and the other is $1030.  The other four models are not pen-compatible.

See here:

If you're ordering from another source, carefully verify the pen compatible information with the vendor.  These systems have identical model numbers but are emphatically NOT all pen-compatible.

If yours does support an active pen, it will have arrived with a "pen compatible" sticker on the system.  If that sticker isn't there, you have a touchscreen system - not a digitizing system - and can't use an active pen.

Ty but I was hoping for a more definitive answer before ordering one.
