    This has been great for undergrad school purposes. I use in constantly for writing on PowerPoints and Microsoft Word. I am in a medical program, so this pen has especially been useful when looking and writing on EKGs on my touchscreen Lenovo Yoga C740-14IML. I can't say as good it is for art, but great for writing and scribbling.

    Stylus works fine but packaging Poorly designed

    The stylus works great although I had problems at first because of the way it is tightly seated in the packaging. When I popped it out from the back, it knocked the top button off. It should be protected with a sleeve of some sort until you install the AAAA BATTERY which I had never seen before. I will have to be sure to have an extra on hand since I'm not sure how long they last

    I bought this as a bundle with a new Dell 2 in 1. At first the design of it caught my eye. Once I installed the driver on the laptop it would not work. I contacted Best Buy and was advised that it wasn't compatible with the 2 in 1 that I purchased but it was part of the bundle. Yeah, makes no sense to me. Worked well on a device with Windows Ink.

    This pen works on many types of touchscreen computers and if your computer is compatible it’s an amazing product for easy photo editing.

    Could not program (and neither could Geek Squad)

    The Bamboo Ink was on display with my exact model of laptop on the floor of Best Buy. I purchased the pen, having read the reviews that it was difficult to set up with Asus 2-in-1s, but (also from reading reviews) and since it was on display in the store I knew it had to be possible to configure. Nope. After myself, my boyfriend, and Geek Squads at TWO different Best Buy locations (which BOTH had my exact laptop on display with a Bamboo Ink pen demo set up) no one could figure out how to sync the pen to my laptop. If you clicked the button on the pen, the sticky note feature on Windows Ink would come up like it’s supposed to, but (even after trying every min option) it would not detect the pen to actually write. A manager even got involved and gave me a great customer service experience, saying he would take care of it, but he wasn’t able to do it either. He apologized and returned the item for me. Very disappointed — wasted a lot of time on this for nothing. Warning to any Asus owners, don’t bother trying.

    The stylus works great with the surface pro computer. It makes it so much easier to use. Computer doesn’t get full of fingerprints and works quickly. It’s a plus that you can change the ink color on it when needed for writing.A bit pricey, but it’s worth it.

    This is a great idea and I like the pencil. My only problem is there aren’t that many practical apps for it. In time I’m sure there will be more.

    This stylus is my second BamBoo Ink Stylus and I bought both of them from Best Buy. I use it with my 2-in-1 laptop for taking notes in class and I definitely recommend it if you are looking for a smart stylus. My first one lasted about two years but stopped working after getting banged up in my pen pouch for two years. I recommend going online to buy a hard case to protect it depending on how you plan to carry it around. I feel confident that my first pen could have lasted much longer if I have been more careful with it.

    The pen seems to work fine, and it helps me annotate files and lets my kid draw on the screen. It does seem to go through batteries fairly quick, unless i'm using it wrong. I use it for one or two days a week, maybe an hour or two total, and then it won't work anymore. Maybe there's a setting somewhere I'm missing, but one battery a week will get expensive.

    The Button/Eraser will break... simply from use. maybe not today or next week but it will. The button is held on by the smallest piece of plastic , it cant be fixed at home either. So every time it breaks you have to send it in. So while its fantastic for the money , if you dont use the button (which is unlikely) this is a massive problem.

    I like the pen a ton. I got it so I could write out my notes for school and it is super nice to use. The only thing I hate is the app it suggests still costs money to get the full thing even after the high price for just the pen. Overall, I can only say I know it has a great feel when writing. It also has great sensitivy.

    Bought it for my son to use on his new Lenovo Yoga 720 2- in-1. This is the first time we purchased a laptop that supported a stylus. He loves it. Easy to use and works well with the Lenovo.
