Hello there.  We are looking to purchase a Spin 1 for our daughter and one of the main reasons is the ability to draw on this device.  Our daughter is 10 but loves to draw and be creative. Looking on the Acer website and all over the web, it is very difficult for me to tell which models include the pen and are compatible with MS paint / drawing program.  Do all models include the pen?  Do any models include a pen? I search Amazon and every other site and it's very confusing for me to tell the difference between all of the spin 1 models other than storage and processor.  Please help point me in the right direction of models that include a Pen, or that will work with a Pen.  Thanks!

    We one thing I can say is avoid all models with less than 64 GB of storage or it will be difficult to apply larger updates. The SP111-31N-P2GH has stylus & can be expanded to 8GB. The SP111-31N-P0FA has stylus, a larger battery, but limited to 4GB.

    You can use the compare function to see the exact configuration. Personally would only look at Pxxx models since Cxxx models seem to have 32GB drives

    If the intended use is for dwg, the cheaper SP111-31 with 32 SSD will work just fine.  Then there is additional storage for a micro SD Card.  Mine came with Win 10, version 1607, and was able to upgrade to version 1709. I still have 11.6 GB left for another upgrade that comes along.  The main thing is, when you do a major upgrade or do the MS monthly updates,  Make sure you perform "Clean Disk," of the 3 steps and then Defrag the HD.  This removes all previous MS Win old data and makes room for new.  I run both a couple times a month, whether it needs it or not.  

    With ICloud, I access all photos, Documents, etc., w/o having to install on my SP111-31, which is designed for light work and use mine for portability, w/o having to spend another $70.00 for more HD storage I don't need.  Again, there is more storage and I installed 64 GB Micro card, if I need more space.  The card cost me $23.00 at Target
