Hi everyone,

I’m considering getting a Framework Laptop 13 Pro and was wondering whether its touchscreen is compatible with an active stylus or pen.

I need a laptop for managing many virtual machines, but I also take a lot of notes, so stylus support would be very useful. Since the Laptop 13 Pro has a touchscreen, I was wondering if it supports a specific stylus, such as an AES, MPP, or USI pen like the Framework stylus.

Has anyone tested this, or can you confirm which styluses are compatible?

Thanks in advance!

The F13Pro doesn’t have stylus support, just finger touch. The only styluses that will work are those cheap and thick capacitive pens that mimic a finger.
