Wacom Digitizer While we're waiting, I have a question, is the Wacom Digitizer compatible with all the pens? For instance, can we 'upgrade' to a 1024 pressure sensitive pen/tilt sensitive, or is it a limitation of the hardware in the slate?

I´m not an expert but, i use the wacom Cintiq 18sx at home which uses 512 levels and i have a wacom intuos 3 with 1024 levels. The pen of the Intuos is not compatible with the cintiq. So Im sure, you can´t upgrade the presure sensitivity by a pen. The pen must fit to the display technology.But 256 Levels are not sooo bad. My first wacom (bought in 1998) had 256 levels and i really liked it.

You my friend are not helping with my patience level ;) This sounds like just the thing I need for on-the-spot sketching and drafting.

The pressure sensitivity I think almost certainly is a function of the screen digitizer however if I were to bet I would say that pen tilt can be upgraded by buying a nicer pen. Tilt can make up allot for varying line thinkness to make up for having of 256 levels of pressure sensitivity. Though I'm not adept enough that more than 256 would be used when I draw.We need an expert to weigh in. Any out there???

Thanks very much. Toony type vector art is exactly what I am going to be drawing (at least at first). I am OK with real material but have never tried with a computer. I planned on drawing directly in the Anime Studio Pro 7 but I think I will check out this Alias Sketchbook Pro you talk about.

According to Wacom, the Intuos Part Number KP400E2 is the compatible pen for the Intuous Pro and a list of others.I don't have an Intuos Pro, however, I just bought a Cintiq 22HD and I bought this pen for it. It works with my Inutous 4 tablet as well but does not work with my older Cintiq 21 UX DTZ2100.For your own peace if mind, go to the Wacom site and search for DTK2100 or just the pen accessories. They list the compatibility as: This pen works with Intuos5, Intuos4, Cintiq 21UX (second generation DTK2100 only), and Cintiq 24HD. This pen will not work with Intuos3, Intuos2, Intuos, or Cintiq 21UX (DTZ2100). I hope this answers your question..

You have to download the software from the Wacom site for compatibility. Have a blessed day :-)

while I don't own this specific model, as far as I can tell it all depends on the programs you own, i myself use Microsoft One Note which works flawlessly with the tablet. The major issue with getting this computer is if you have an actual use for the touch screen. I'm learning a new language and the writing is simplified with the use of a tablet, It makes learning the new language several times easier. a) On the touch screens I've used, No you don't need alot of pressure. b) With good programs you can leave the handwriting as your own and read it digitally. Otherwise, It is a software limitation to recognize your handwriting and convert it into printed font. c) Again, Software issue, With One Note it is as simple as selecting the eraser and erasing. d) Well, its quite different, the feel is different on its on, you don't have the adhesion you want, and in certain cases, if you have "lag" your writing comes up after you actually passed the area (a slight delay when the writing actually shows up.) Well it is a lot easier to erase, and you dont have any eraser left overs after erasing. Hope it helps "Bones"

The display uses capacitive pressure-sensing multi-touch detection for pin-point precision while writing and drawing and you can use a stylus. It uses technology from wacom. Just look at the price of this baby and you'll see it's a bargain. Wacom Cintiq 12WX 12-Inch Pen Display

Hi, no you can not. I made that mistake and bought the US version without the digitizer pen. The Laptop does not support the digitizer feature. I tried updating the BIOS the Operating system etc. It did not work. If you want to use the laptop with the digitizer, but do not like the pen that comes with it, you still need to purchase the Digitizer version and then you can buy any compatible 3rd party pen. It is quite misleading from Lenovo and the offers on Amazon are not clear either.BRChristian

I picked up an ep121 at fry's in concord last week, I have a CINTIQ 21UX, and I'm employed as a character artist. The cintiq pen and intuos pens won't work on it as people have already said. The pressure sensitivity is not working in photoshop, i think there's a driver fix for this but i haven't bothered with it. Photoshop works best with a keyboard/keypad anyways. Alias sketchbook pro will be your friend. The brushes work great and the program is stroke based. 256 levels of pressure sensitivity, it depends on the artist. It's fine for me, I don't know that my arm has 256 levels of pressure. The line quality is good and it's responsive while drawing. Awesome device for drawing on the go, or sitting on the couch. Any serious work you'll probably want to use a standard computer, but no reason you shouldn't be able to do great things on the ep121. Battery life i get around 3-4.5 hours depending on use. I hope they start shipping these things out to you all soon, I'm loving mine! ps. This thing also runs zbrush pretty well. although it's pointless to try to use zbrush with a resolution os 1200x800, the menu's are too filling. But, it CAN handle a million polygons without much problem. I didn't try maya on it yet. If anyone's interested i can give it a shot.

Only as a normal stylus because you would need to be on at least iOS 7 to run the smart apps and software required to make the drawing pressure sensitivity functional. So you would be better off with a soft-grip standard stylus and spend less money on it. A great wide-body stylus with grip and ergonomic design is the Cosmonaut. Well worth the $30. Or Wacom's other economical stylus' are good too. Happy shopping. :-)

I know that this fits perfectly the 1st generation as listed Bamboo Stylus... I would inquire with Wacom as to the proper nibs as many customers have ended up with the wrong nibs and for the cost it is not really feasible to return due to shipping costs back to Amazon... A little effort will result in you being a happy customer... Might want to compare prices at Wacom as this item is less expensive there than Amazon FYI....

Sorry it's working' that way for you. It has been just as good as my initial pen for my CTE-661. Perhaps you can re-install the Wacom software or your OS devices in Control Panel icons. Best of luck and good outcomes.

You can use a pen or stylus with it but it does not have sensitivity settings like a pad would. If your looking to be able to get different brush strokes with pressure input this will not do that.

This tablet has 512 levels of touch sensitivity. I regularly use the wacom digitizer pen that came with it. When I need a longer pen for a more natural feel I use a Grip pen I actually bought for my Cintiq 15x. That digitizer pen also registers 512 levels of pressure sensitivity. It's an excellent drawing tablet.

Yes it is but it won't be pressure sensitive and you won't be able to control the sensitivity. I would suggest paying extra and getting a Wacom if you're serious about digital media.

The Wacom Intuos is a pressure-sensitive stylus which provides 2048 levels of pressure, what kind line you get out of it depends on the application you're using and the tool within the application. I have used mine to draw lines as fine as the application allows (usu. as small as one pixel) and it works fine.

I digitizer pen seems to work perfect. It didn't affect any hand touches. I reccomend it!
