Inspiron 15-7579 - Active stylus?
When the latest Windows 10 Update came out, the Tips showed using a stylus to write and some other creative things. This isn't a normal stylus. I have looked all over for one that is compatible with Inspiron 15-7579 2-in1, and resembles what I am seeing. I have yet to find it.
Any ideas?
Thanks! ~ TL

There isn't an active stylus (the type that supports pressure sensitivity) for this system. For that you need a screen with an active digitizer -- of which there are not many in the 15" size class.
The Inspiron 7568 had that option but sold in a higher price class.
You can use a passive capacitive stylus on the system you have -- just don't expect it to perform the way an active stylus does.

Why does that look nothing like what the Windows Tip shows as being used? Is the Tip just showing what could be used if I had had the right computer? :(

Strange they dropped it (even as an option) on a higher number model.
Not what OP is looking for, but as an aside ... (active) Pencil works real nice on iPad Pro.

Yes, that is strange that they dropped it on the higher number model! That is what I had seen when I was researching it. So I am disappointed that I can't use one on this one. In fact if it hadn't been so long since I bought this one (45 days) I would be returning it for one that one would work on! :( Oh well. Next time.
Thanks y'all for the answers!

I have a 7579. I was told the PN338M pen would work with my system by Dell tech support on the phone. I have not bought one yet. Not sure when I'd use it. Do not use the touch screen much. But would love some ideas if anyone wants to share. thanks
