Lenovo Notebooks, Convertibles, and Tablets That Support Pens
Current as of March 28, 2016
When purchasing a new Lenovo device intended to be used with an active or passive pen, it is important to identify prior to purchase that the system comes configured for pens, and the type of pen it is configured for.
This is important because active and passive pens require a system configured with a digitizer. In Lenovo products, a digitizer is an electrical component that resides in a layer of the glass of the Lenovo display, as is a separate engineering layer from a capacitive or resistive touch screen. Please note that a digitizer cannot be added to a display or system after purchase.

Thank you,
Thank you Amy,
My model number is a special one: 20CGCTO1WW.
I dont think it is listed in the PSREF.
Any where can i see the Digitizer ThinkPad Pen Pro/ Lenovo Active Pen?
The 900s is already running with a pen. (I tested the ThinkPad Pen Pro on it) But it seems that not all features are active. It uses only the default windows 10 driver with limited support (Gimp, Krita and other Drawing Programs don't detect it as drawing pen sadly)
Amy, could you assist me some more on this?
Hello, Will the latest yoga 910 support pen ? I want 14" laptop support stylus besides the x1 yoga and its predecessors
Does anyone know which pen will work with the Yoga 11e 3rd Gen (specifically 20GA000MUS model)?
Hi.
Thanks Amy for the picture. I modified it the levels of the picture on Gimp.
