Different Types of Touchscreens & Stylus' Explained

We use Dell 5300 and 5490 along with a Microsoft SurfaceBook to explain and demonstrate the differences in various touch screen technologies, including Capacitive, Resistive and Digitizer touchscreens. We use Dell 557W, Dell 556W, Dell 579X, MS Surface Stylus, a rubber tip, finger and a generic active stylus in the process.

TL;DR: Dell uses Wacom AES, not EMR; Surface uses N-trig, Wacom's Bamboo Ink/Ink Plus have both but u need to switch modes by holding the 2 side bottons together for a few sec. Bluetooth doesnt mean u can write on it, it's the pen and laptop's pen tech that matters

full
Dell uses Wacom AES technology, also seen on SOME HP (HP hav both, some are N-trig, some are Wacom AES), Levono, Acer. While Microsoft and Asus, uses N-trig

Wacom Bamboo Ink has both AES and N-trig, but u need to switch it's mode between AES or N-trig by pressing both of it's side buttons together

Still Others like Wacom's own tablets, Samsung's Note and S Tab series and some other higher end art machines uses Wacom EMR, which the pen itself dont hav a battery or needs to charge at all and dont work with any above active stylus tech

The bluetooth function on ANY stylus is only for calling out the Windows Ink Workspace, has nothing to do with pen's writing/drawing function AT ALL.

e.g.
My machine is an Acer Concept D Ezel 3 which uses Wacom AES (higher end ezel 7 uses EMR), but i came from Surface Pro, and my bamboo ink works on both by just switching modes.

---bonus---
As for performance(IMO): EMR >> AES ~= N-trig if you're slow drawing(jitters in AES & N-Trig); EMR >= AES ~= N-trig if fast drawing and if u have software stablizing, it doesn't matter much

just an FYI

Hello, I have a Dell Latitude 3300. What pen do you recommend that is compatible?

[itorresv]

I was able to connect the PN557W Pen to a Latitude 5490 in the Bluetooth device manager, but it doesn't work, touching the screen doesn't do anything. Is there something else in the configuration that I need to do?.. any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello! I saw this video because I wanted to get a stylus for my computer, but I can't seem to find a good stylus. I have a Dell Inspiron 14 7000 2in1; touchscreen. What stylus will best work with this computer?

[garretttekampe]

My question is. Does a non-touch dell XPS allow an active stylus to work when you're using a touch monitor?

Which one should I use with dell xps 13 9365?

Just because it pairs does that mean it will work for my device? I can get a surface pen to pair with my Dell 5400 but that is all i can get to happen.

What is the cheapest replacement stylus for the vintage HP Compaq 2710p notebook/ tablet? I recently purchased a used HP 2710p without the pen and I need a compatible stylus for it because the 2710p seemed to use an older generation resistive screen that does not support finger touches. I'm stuck with the hard to navigate trackpointer (no touchpad on this model), please help me find a generic stylus that is compatible with this laptop because the original HP pen replacement for this model is not available here in my country (Philippines).Thanks!
