I would literally kill for a tablet that did nothing but very very very very good active pen stuff. I bought a Dell latitude tablet and while it's good enough (one note is also just good enough) that I don't regret it I've been wondering whether I could put together something that just focused on digitization using something a pi. are there any plans to support an active pen?

yes me too but that is basically as expensive as my dell tablet for just writing? it seems like to high a premium (yes i know i said i would kill).

'Literally kill' you said :) . I got the HP Chromebook X2 with stylus and while some chrome os rough edges persist(crostini apps don't work with on screen keyboard, for eg), it is fast and responsive with great battery life so far.

Didn't mention humans, though. Maybe they were going to kill a housefly, or a roach, or mosquito, or something that typically gets killed anyway, without even getting good stylus input for it?

Looks great but @ $499 in the US, the price is steep for experimentation. I'd love to rent one, see how it matches with me and then buy it in full. If this was under 200 I'd just risk buying and finding if I like it later.

Don't know much about that pen thingy so no guarantee, but will definitely look into it.
