Yoga S1 Digitizer Pen Question

I just got a Yoga S1 with the Digitizer Pen. Is the pen supposed to behave similar to a standard touch? In otherwords, can I use it instead of my finger when touching the screen? So far it doesn't seem to have any affect on the windows start screen. I know the pen works because I found an app that translates the writing to text (can't remember the app name, still learning what came on the computer). I'm just trying to learn the capabilities and limitations of the pen.
Thanks in advance

i recorded the above video to show you the basic behaviour under both finger touch and pen digitiser. Compare this to your laptop, and see if it is the same.
Also, it would helpful to do a video recording of what you are getting, then upload it to say flickr or something. This will allow us to troubleshoot more easily.

20C0001HUS Thinkpad Yoga with digitizer?

Hi! I would like to buy this Thinkpad yoga model and I would like to know if the screen is digitizer enabled and it comes with the pen. What is the storage capacity on this model?
I asked various vendors from this site and everybody tells me something different...
http://www.shopbot.ca/pp-lenovo-thinkpad-s1-yoga-i5-4300u-20c0001hus-lenovo-price-483964.html

So the majority of the vendors told me that the storage is 180Gb SSD and that the digitizer pen is not included. Anyway the screen is an fhd
1920 x 1080, so my question is... If I buy a pen somewhere willl I be able to use the digitizer stylus anyway?
Thank you

Digitizer pen

I have just recently bought an i7 Lenovo Yoga pro 2. As many of you may know, it does not come with a digitizer pen. I would like to purchase one but I am not sure what to get. Please help me with suggestions.

Good afternoon and welcome to the community.
The Yoga 2 Pro doesn't have a digitizer. The panel is 10-finger capacitive touch. That said, there are a number of capacitive stylii available, but I don't have experience with them , so I can't offer a recommendation.
Hopefully other members will join the discussion with their experiences that will aid your decision.
Cheers.

Will the Lenovo Helix Digitizer Pen work with Windows 7

Hello forum,
I work in the IT department and we have recently order a number of Lenovo Helix to use for special projects.
We will be downgrading to Windows 7 64-bit.
My question is will the digitizer pen still be supported by Windows 7?
Maybe I over looked, but I did not see any drivers that seemed to be associated with the digitizer pen or any previous mention of this and downgrading to Windows 7.
Any information you can provide will be helpful.
Solved!

Welcome to the forum!
Stylus pen is natively supported by W7 and it will work "out of the box".

Problems with Illustrator CC 2014 in Sony Vaio Fit 15A with N-Trig touch screen and digitizer pen.

Hello to everybody!
Some times ago Adobe has updated Illustrator to CC 2014 version and now it support touch pressure\pan\zoom in Windows 8 tablets. I have Sony Vaio Fit 15A with N-Trig touch screen and digitizer pen with pressure-sensitive support.
I was extremely disappointed that the brush in new version does not work correctly. Watch the video please that I did specifically for the demonstration.
I use Adobe Illustrator CS6 and Adobe Illustrator CC 2014 for comparison. In the old version the brush is works correctly. You must do a lot of clicks to start the brush in CC 2014 version (please see video). What causes of the problem? Please help me!

I don't mind buying another brand or another type of pen from HP so as long as it works with my notebook.

Is the new slider2 support digitizer pen?

Is the new convertible tablet slider2 support digitizer pen?

The new earpods should support extended bass noise with other devices as it is not a software eq but the actual physical response of the speaker inside the earpod.
Hope it helps

Split x2 with digitizer pen

I have a spare digitizer pen I got when I purchased my TM2 Touchsmart. Is there a way to have this, or any other Wacom pen, work with the Split x2. I've tried the TM2 driver and the Wacom driver without success. Has anyone else tried this too?

Hi plloyd1010,
In my knowledge, the Split X2 will not work with Digitizer pens of any kind.

What digitizer pen is compatible with Portege Z10T-A

Hi All,
I have the z10t-a i5 telstra 4G cellular model.
This model did not come with the digitizer pen or stylus and i am wondering if the pens are compatible.
The support website says the pen is compatible with the Z series but am not sure.
Can anyone shed any light on the subject.
I would hate to spend the money on an accessory that did not work.
Cheers

Hi guys,
I found also some details about the Toshiba Digitizer Pen with Eraser
Part number: PA5133U-1EUC and this digitizer pen is compatible with the Toshiba Portg Z10t, Z15t Ultrabook series and 10 Excite Write Tablet PC
Further details:
+Using this digitizer pen, you can write directly on the screen and save your notes in your own handwriting - or convert them to typed text for use in other applications. The pen can also handle common mouse and keyboard tasks like opening applications, selecting text and displaying menus. Since the grid provides the power to the pen through resonant coupling, no batteries are required. Keep a spare pen handy.+

Thinkpad yoga 3rd party pen not working

So i bought a thinkpad yoga, and it came today - which I am really happy about. There's a problem though - I bought the computer thinking that I would get a pen with it and an active digitizer. I bought the computer over the phone, and i got a confirmation email saying that the base was a FHD 1080 screen. Since the only two options for the computer are either with partial HD and NO pen or with FHD and a pen, i assumed I was getting a pen or at least a digitizer with the computer.
After all, I paid for it in full.
The pen did not come with the computer, however i was told that if i bought a thinkpad pen separately, it would still work. I have a digitzer pen already, but it doesn't work on this computer.
I tried to download the firmware update for the digitizer, which didn't work. I got a notice saying
Current version: ????
New Version:
and then it said that a connection could not be established. I also tried to download the wacom feel driver, but it said that a compatible tablet was not detected.
Does anyone have any inkling what is going on here? somebody please help!!! I really don't want to have to return the laptop and have to purchase a new one.

When I bought my Yoga, on the Australian Lenovo website it explicitly states it as a Wacom digitizer:
http://shopap.lenovo.com/au/en/laptops/thinkpad/yoga-series/
Pretty much every Lenovo machine that carried an active digitizer in the past has been Wacom (apart from a couple times I think they used N-Trig, a comptetitor to Wacom).
What lead_org means is B - the Full HD 1080p screen can be had with or without an active digitizer - if does have one, it is guaranteed to be a Wacom.
Techinically speaking, a touchscreen is a digitizer (passive rather than active, since it only works on contact with your finger or a capacitive pen as opposed to hover capabilities etc.). The active digitizer panel is a seperate component from the screen.
With lesser quality, there is the possibility that there are some differences between each Wacom digitizer panel - however, they won't have another manufacturer's active digitizer panel in the mix with the same product.
ATM, there are four different active digitizers that can be had - Wacom, N-Trig, Atmel and Synaptics.
The technology that drives each company's active digitizer is fundamentally different and won't work between different brands of digitizer. (e.g. a Wacom pen won't work with an N-Trig active digitizer panel, and vice-versa.) So you won't find a Yoga that has N-Trig or any other digitizer.
Wacom and N-Trig are the main players - Atmel and Synaptics just aren't on the same level as them yet.
Wacom - common on Lenovo, Fujitsu, Samsung (under the name S-Pen), Toshiba tablet pcs
N-Trig - common on Sony, ASUS Taichi tablet pcs
Atmel - so far on HP products only
Synaptics - Dell Venue 8 and 11 Pro
Sorry if I sound like I'm rambling on - I'll stop it here. You can always do some Google searches and read up about this a bit more. Below is a link that might help.

How to fill up pdf forms & sign pdf contracts using digitizer pen & tablet?

Greetings,
I travel a lot and bring tons of documents for clients to sign. As I am trying to cut down on travel weight, i fancied upon the idea of using a digitizer such as the Genius EasyPen i405 to fill up pdf forms and sign contracts so i wouldnt have to scan, save and email the forms back to the office thousands of miles away. I would like to know if it is possble to do that using such a device. If its possible, how? I use acrobat X. Any advise you can give would be greatly appreciated. Hope to hear from you soonest. Thank you.

Thanks for your response jallisy. I just thought about this because i read somewhere that the pen acts like a mouse cursor when you move it around the digitizer. I figured the pen could act as a mouse while the digitizer could act as a mouse pad, as such the size doesnt really matter, considering you need to press a button on the pen to engage the digital ink and you use the computer screen as your guide. I havent really tried one but am just starting to explore the idea as tablets like the Ipad are now allowing users to fill up forms and sign pdfs with a finger or a capacitive pen. Youtube offers all these interesting pdf signing and editing with the Ipad. I just really dont want an Ipad. I still think a solution is just around the corner. But i am not willing to buy an expensive tablet with limited storage and productivity features over a real laptop.
The genius site for the pen stated that i can sign microsof office docs but no pdf was mentioned. I guess they have a special software for that but the people at genius havent gotten back to me yet. Another way i was thinking about was converting all the pdfs to word, sign the word document and then save as a pdf again ... the document is prone to be edited though and formats could be accidentally changed so was really thinking about doing this directly with a PDF instead.

K1 and N-trig digitizer pen

Does anyone know whether a N-trig pen would work on the K1? Would this tablet support pressure sensitive inputs?
Thx

usualy this message means there is no communication between the digitizer and the computer.
the only thing you can do is contact Dell/HP support and they will probably reflash or replace your screen.

Yoga 10 HD+ USB question

I'm considering purchasing one of these and have this question:
Can I connect a USB flash drive to the micro USB port using an OTG cable?
Specifically, I want to transfer pictures from a SD card reader to the tablet without going through a pc.
I posed this question to the sales associate, who didn't know, but promised to get back to me. He never did.
Thanks in advance,
Solved!

You can. I bought a OTG cable and connected my thumb drive. The only drawback from my perspective was that the tablet didn't recognize a NTFS format so I switched to FAT32 on the thumb drive and that fixed it.

Ideapad yoga 11s WITHOUT a pen - can I get it to work with a pen?

Got the ideapad yoga 11s for a surprise gift on christmas. And just found out there is also a version of the ideapad yoga with a stylus/wacom pen. That would have made this apparatus just perfect for me. So my 3 questions quite simply are:
1. Can anyone tell me if this version can be "modified" to work in the same way (e.g. pressure sensitivity) if I can acquire the pen / a pen separately?
2. Can a pen indeed be acquired separately?
3. And what kind of pens would work?
Please help And thank you to anyone who can tell me the answers!
Edit: Suppose I need a digitizer. I presume this model does not have it? I don't even know what that is physically - so is it something I CAN accuire for this machine?

Only digitizer pens and digitizer displays have pressure sensitivity. If you want this, take a look at the ThinkPad Yoga for your next purchase.
You need a capacitive stylus pen, like the Wacom Bamboo Stylus
