Inspiron 15-5579 2-in-1 laptop, stylus pen compatibility?

I am an artist and would like to use the touchscreen with a stylus to sketch. Is there a stylus available that can do this? I cannot find it listed under accessories for this model.

If you don't see a stylus listed, the system has a touchscreen -- not a digitizer, which is what you need for full, pressure-sensitive pen support.

If you want full pen support, some of the Inspiron 15-7000 series models have it.  These are going to start in the $900 range -- not he mid-$600 range the 5000 series does.  The digitizing screen alone adds a couple of hundred dollars to the cost of the system - you're not going to find pen support much below $900-1,000 systems.

If you are an artist, you may be interested in the Pen mentions only seems to have 1024 levels of pressure.  The ones on some XPS models have 2048.

Hello

I contacted support to make sure that the pn338m was compatible with my 5579 and was told it was not. I was advised to contact sales tomorrow after 9 am to see if another pen would do. I would gladly buy one of these pens if they were supported. I had originally contacted tech support to find out.
