Inspiron 7368 Stylus

A generic passive stylus will work with the system exactly as your finger would.  This system does not have a digitizer so it's not designed or equipped for drawing or writing -- for that you need a notebook with a true tablet-style digitizer screen (such as a Lenovo Yoga Pro/ThinkPad Yoga, Microsoft Surface, etc.).

I asked the rep 4 times if the active stylus works and was told all 4 times that it would. So you are telling me it won't?

This system has a touchscreen - not a digitizing tablet-style screen. No active stylus is going to work - the screen isn't designed for drawing or writing.

So far Dell hasn't released any systems in this class that do -- if you're looking for a full digital-drawing experience, you'll find it in systems like the Surface Pro 4 and the Lenovo Yoga Pro and Yoga ThinkPad models -- that is, near or above the $1K price range.  You won't find it in systems priced south of that price threshold -- the digitizer is still an expensive component and systems that include one, relatively high-end in features.

Thanks. Apparently the rep lied to me or doesn't know the products. Will probably end up buying an IPAD Pro.
