w510 FHD Multi-touch ?

All,

I am not too firmiliar with the multitouch screen on these and have one on order. I use visio and one note constantly and use my mouse when needing to draw lines and such. Will this multitouch accept a stylus of some sort to draw straight from the screen? Just don't want to get it and damage my screen in any way.

 

No one has any comment?

 

Kind of hard to get responses on a machine nobody has their hands on yet.

 

I just returned a T400s in favor of the W510 with MT.

While I didn't use a stylus, I do recall seeing an option to calibrate the screen for one.

Don't see why you couldn't, although the resolution you will get is anybody's guess at this point.

 

I think it's a capacitive screen, so you can try those special capacitive styluses (stylii?) But if you have to draw on the screen I would recommend either a real tablet computer (X210t?) or a dedicated Wacom tablet.

 

True True. Just spoke with my rep and he is supposed to get back to me on the info reguarding the multitouch screen. He was thinking it is the same screen setup they use on the x200 tablet series hardware wise and that it should be fine to use a tablet stylus.

True a dedicated wacom tablet would be justifiable however my company doesn't feel I need one at the cost for them.

I got the multi-touch screen because someone backed out of their CTO order with my reseller and it had every other spec I wanted for 600$ cheaper than the CTO I was going to order with the FHD non-touch screen as well as a 3 yr warrenty over my 1 yr so it was a no brainer.

Still awaiting for my FEB12th ship date, however my order has been placed before lenovo took it down off the website and others on here have had a feb 10th ship date on orders placed yesterday. So crossing my fingers to get it sooner than the 12th.
