    A pen that works with a Bamboo tablet is not compatible with the W700. Pens like that (fine point, pressure sensitive, etc.) require what is called an active digitizer, which the W700 does not have.

    You can use an inexpensive capacitive stylus like those that are advertised for the iPad and iPhone, but those are effectively just a substitute for your finger; the contact area is a bit smaller and thus maybe a little more precise than your finger, and you may find it more comfortable, but it doesn't add any capabilities.
