    I would really like to know as well.
    I am in the market for a good tablet PC and Sager's NP1220 looks good, but I can't tell if it's using an active digitizer or not...

    I just called Sager's Sales Department.... T_T
    It is indeed a passive digitizer... T_T why they do this to us?

    Oh well... looks like we'll have to wait a bit to get such a nice tablet with everything we want in it...

    this is really gay.

    This is infuriating. why of why would sager do this? after making so many great notebooks, did the guys and clevo light up a crack pipe and put in a passive screen? WTF guys. WTF.

    Theyre known for making gaming notebooks, not tablets.

    The HP tx2000 series is pretty cool. Looks a lot like the sager and has a active digitizer. loaded its like 1600 or give or take, so the price is great. To bad they couldn't slap a slightly better video card in there but hey check it out.
