The description says that it is a 'pen and touch' tablet. Does that mean you can't rest your hand on it while writing with the pen?

That means that it can be interacted with both stylus and finger to create an image on the screen.

You can rest your hand on it while drawing. The tablet senses the position of the pen stylus, not the position of your hand. The "touch" feature refers to finger gentures that can be used for such things as zooming (similar to gestures on an iPhone). If you find that the way you move your hand, while you draw, is too much like the gestures, you can switch off the "touch" feature. Likewise, the stylus has a rocker switch that can be used as "mouse click." If you find (as I do) that your grip on the pen sometimes accidentally clicks that switch, you can disable it.

There is a switch on the top right of the tablet that toggles the use of touch. Push it to the right and touch will be disabled, to the left and touch will be enabled.

I'm going to answer my own question with the reply from Wacom via email on May 7, 2014:Thanks for writing in. Great question; there have been issues with the cursor being offset from the pen. I'm not sure what causes that, but there is not a way to correct it. I would suggest taking your tablet into a Best Buy and testing the pen there before you purchase it.

Yes, that would work fine with this tablet, in fact, when people complain to Wacom about the fact that they can't lift up the top to put something under it for tracing, they suggest placing under a clear sheet. It seems to have a pretty decent distance to which it can recognize the pen pressing down on it, but I haven't exactly measured it.

I have no idea, the day before the pen arrived, my tablet crashed, so now I have the pen and no tablet. Sorry I could not be of any help.

The stylus has two ends to it. The normal ink pen end is definitely not for use on the tablet. The rubbery eraser-looking end is what you use as the stylus for any touch-screen device.

No, this is another type of pen for another type of tablets. What you need is a "stylus" pen.

It is VERY difficult to write with. Its a bit better than a typical mouse, but nowhere a tablet pen.

Are you referring to the handwriting tool on the galaxy tab? If so, you must switch to that tool instead of the using the onscreen keyboard. Then you just write with the stylus as if it were a regular pen.

this tablet is used with a stylus only. It does not support fingers for touch.

Yes..However it is the TABLET that is sensative & tempermental....With or without the pen...I personally LIKE the pen because it ONLY hits the keys you want...UNLIKE your finger..

Not necessarily. It's a soft point tip that compresses on touch. Really the only tablet with high precision would be the note due to its calibrated own. But this is nice to simply use to navigate through Web pages etc. It does work slightly better than your finger, but not for writing due to the soft tip.

Not much to go wrong... There are some options on the Samsung to enable/disable the pen. There's a small pen that came with the tablet. Does *it* work? If so the new one isn't right. If the built in pen doesn't work, maybe it's a setting.

It's to write with. Like on paper. As for the stylus tip I don't cover it. There's no need to. But you might want to try a band aid on it. Lol. Hope this helps you out.

I'm using it right now as a mouse (WITH THE PEN, NOT JUST THE FINGER AS A LAPTOP!). You just have to go under this tablet settings and set the first button as left button. DO NOT press the pen against the pad when using it as a mouse! Just hover it a few milimiters above the pad as if you were going to write on a piece of paper. Use mouse clicks as you normally do with a mouse inside the area.

I usually use it for writing and it is not good. I went back to my adonit stylus. Was trying to return it but I live outside US so it's kinda cumbersome to return it. Shipping charges from my country is half of the cost of the stylus so I'm kinda stuck with it now.

No...I believe it's just an additional resource for apps that allow a stylus for taking notes, etc... Mine works fine without it.

I have a pen with a special soft point on the back end that I use as a stylus, but I usually use my finger. I may not be answering your question because I do not really use the tablet for much more than reading and podcasts.
