    No way to attach it with the laptop. Wonder when would I misplace it.

    Well, I was very careful to order the correct stylus for my laptop. But if this thing really works...well I can’t figure it out. I still have the thing, but gave up on it long ago.

    To make this work with a Spectre x360 15.6", you need to download the driver for it. Then it works, but it doesn't work well. Requires too much pressure to make it register, and then it doesn't register immediately--laggy and jagged pen strokes. Not acceptable if you aim to write notes on your computer screen and even worse if you want to do any sort of artwork. I returned it. No comparison to the stylus on the Microsoft Surface book, which truly writes like a pen on paper. Thinking about trying the Dell stylus, which is purported to work much better with the HP machine, but hoping that HP gets the message and comes out with a product that performs better. I'm disappointed in this one.

    Impossible to connect to your HP. Then there are restrictions to the type of HP it will work on. HP should be compatible with HP. Especially your echelon Envy/Spectre product.

    I found the pen to be slow, hard to get to write on my HP Spectre. I thought this would be exactly what I wanted but found it unusable for keeping written notes.

    Reviews were not clear about this stylus. Some suggested the Dell worked better with the HP's. I have both. Dell works fine,but different than the HP. I prefer the HP over the Dell.

    Be VERY mindful of what model your HP tablet/2n1 is. Even the sales associate was unsure of which would work with it, and this turned into trial & error.

    Got setup pretty easily. Works fine on HP - Spectre x360 2-in-1 15.6" 4K Ultra HD Touch-Screen Laptop - Intel Core i7 - 16GB Memory - 256GB wish these things would work on any touchscreen, like i-pads and phones, etc.

    I was honestly expecting a lot more. The latency on this makes writing painfully slow. I couldn't possibly use it to take notes. I'd be writing at 1/3 the speed I do with pen and paper.

    I purchase this item with hopes it would work lik the surfaces pen, but very basic. Not very impressed at all. Don't buy just get a stylus.

    A perfect stylus for what is needed. I asked the representative for accessories needed for my new purchased laptop, and she handed me this product, and was exactly what was needed for a quality price.

    I purchased the HP spectre x360 over one of the Lenovo products because of the capability to use a pen, and it was not a wise decision. While HP provides wonderful specs with their products, they often have quirks and the pen interface is no exception. This pen has very limited accuracy and although it is supposed to override any other touch while you write, this is not the case here. Overall a very disappointing product. It also feels cheaply made.
