Has anyone tried the AES stylus of Wacom with an X2 12 Pavilion?

Hello!.

My brother has brought a X2 12 Pavilion and here in spain HP brings its own stylus, which is a crap. He can't write, point and much less try to paint with it.

I would have ask them not include and save more money.

The questions are:

a).-Anyone has been able to buy the new Wacom's stylus 2 in 1 Smart stylus for Windows tablets?.
b).-Has anyone tried the new Wacom's stylus 2 in 1 Smart stylus for Windows tablets?.

I've called by phone to HP customer sercice and they have added me to a emailing list which will notify me when they have for selling.

As you can see, this superstylus isn't still available (but I have my doubts about if it has been for sale anytime before):

http://www.wacom.com/en-es/products/stylus/bamboo-smart-for-select-tablets-and-2in1

If I can't buy this stylus I won't buy the X2 12 Pavilion: I CAN'T DO ANYTHING WITH IT as a professional illustrator/painter.

Thanks in advance.

Jose.

 

I imported one from Japan.

It almost, but doesn’t quite work on my Toshiba Encore 2 Write 10 — it seems that for once, Wacom means it when they publish a compatibility list.

I’m hoping that a driver update will make it work. Hope springs eternal.

 

WillAdams, and how did you import your stylus?.It's hard when your domain is detected by the webbrowser.

 

alisaad619 posted a link to a store which ships internationally: http://global.rakuten.com/en/store/nanos-sr/item/4949268791021/

 

But this stylus was/is in its list of compatible devices your Toshiba Encore 2 Write 10 or did you buy it trying to desperately have something useful in your hand instead of the horrible stylus that HP brings itself inside its package?.

I wanna mean that if Wacom lied saying that your device was in their list of compatible devices?.

thank you very much WillAdams for the link.

No, the Toshiba was _not_ listed as compatible on Wacom's site.

I bought the Bamboo Smart hoping to replace the too-slick aluminum Toshiba True Pen (the Bamboo Smart has a textured lacquer finish) and to increase the too-short hover distance (that seems about the same).

See the thread: http://forum.tabletpcreview.com/posts/469455/

 

Thanks for giving me this thread Will.

But, did you buy it only for the aluminium feeling?.

I tried the Surface Pro 4 stylus in an m3 processor and with Fresh Paint the stylus worked like a charm, it was awesome.

I can't understand how HP sells this fantastic tablet X2 12 which pretends to compete against the Surface Pro 4 with such a crappy stylus. As a professional artist I can't do ANYTHING with the synaptics stylus which HP brings with the tablet.

Kind regards.

Currently my Toshiba TruPen is covered in blue painter's tape so that it's not so slippery that I can't hold it --- if I could swap internals w/ it and the Bamboo Smart, I would.

I was also hoping for increased hover distance, but that was an idle wish.

 

check out the Cube i7 , I think it's a better device for art (if you want an affordable option) , and the HP pavilion x2 12 is better device for note taking

the cube i7 is cheaper and smaller , and it use the normal EMR wacom tech , here a link for the device on a website that ship globally , and this is the device thread

and this is a video review for it
