Active stylus! What can it do?
So I was thinking of getting this back in January, but heard of the problems that it had.
A01 was released and thought of buying one, but where out of stock a lot.
Then came A02 and the pen seemed to be fixed.
Now I assume A03 is out?
Now comes my question.
What can the pen actually do?
It can write words nicely.
but can I draw consistently?
can I color/shade in picture easily?
Is it worth the $35 it's priced at?
I just don't want my expectations to be too high and be disappointed, when it's not a wacom stylus.

Also can I write on pdfs easily?
Like open adobe reader and start writing?
I mostly wanted it to do some worksheets, but printing them over and over seems pointless.
More like quizes.
So does the stylus do the things above effectively.
I'm not a pro, just a casual user.

Gotta love Dell........ :emotion-29:
Stylus said ships 1-2 business days in cart.
Now it says expected delivery of June 10th! with 1-day shipping.
Not sure if they're back-ordered, but at-least say ships in 1-2 weeks.
After I ordered it now says ships 3-4 business days.
I was expecting it by the weekend.,unless it ships sooner......

Had my Pro11 for a couple days now and I am not happy at all!!! Not sure what this active stylus is for because it doesn't do <ADMIN NOTE: Substitute character removed as per TOU> ! I already bought an XPS18 and it didn't do what I needed but that was my fault for being ignorant and assuming that a stylus on a tablet that big would replace the mouse but no. Capacitive screens / styli are just basically finger touch and that's all. No mouse button functions. Useless!!! So round two I get this Pro11 with an active stylus and guess what? I still can't do what I need to do because this tablet and the pen don't do what Dell says it will do on their own website! In the Pro11 manual it clearly states you can zoom AND rotate using finger gestures. I can zoom but not rotate. Also, I can't for life of me figure out how to make this pen do anything with the buttons. The section about using the pen in the manual is a vague one short paragraph and that's it. On top of everything else the stylus or the tablet or maybe both don't seem to be working anyway it's inconsistent when drawing lines and cuts out. Since the buttons don't do anything I have to tap the screen instead and sometimes it works and sometimes not. Sometimes I have to tap it or press the stylus down pretty hard to get it to work. So hard I'm afraid of breaking something! Has anyone else tried to get a Dell fixed? It's impossible! The website just sends you around in circles! So what am I supposed to do with this garbage? I've bought two computers now from these turds to do graphic design and CAD and all that's happened is my wallet is $2500 lighter but I'm still tied to my desktop machine! Last Dell.. EVER!!!
