A:AnswerThe computer/laptop shouldn’t matter. I use some high end software (ZBrush Core) so I’m not familiar with software for young kids. However, it takes some good hand eye coordination to use these (Intous line of products). I am about to switch to a Wacom Cintiq that lets you write/sketch/create directly on the screen. They are more expensive but much easier to use. Good luck! John
A:AnswerThank you for asking. The Pen side you will need the special pen compatible for Paper mode. As for the paper, as long as you have the paper anchored in place and not loose you can use your own paper, you just want to make sure the paper is not moving around as you will loose the sync between the digital input and the paper. Hope that helps. Regards
