    Can anyone comment on what laptops out there support the ability to use a pen on the touchpad?

    IE: I saw a Fujitsu which did this... not sure on other brands..

    Seeking a 15.4" model which may have this ability.

    Cheers

    They are pretty rare, I've only seen a handful(and none that are current). ASUS had a design notebook with it(made of Bamboo to boot heh), an enlarged touchpad with a stylus for drawing tablet support, but it was never released.

    What will you be using your tablet for? You could get a USB wacom tablet instead of a whole PC. Per my knowledge if you are into digital artwork such tablets tend to work better. Keep in mind the bigger the tablet the more expensive it is, and there is no other brand you want than Wacom.
