Ok folks...there's something I wanted to clear up. As some of you know, I got my laptop around a month and a half ago. A friend in school also bought one around a month ago.
Now he was asking me if it's possible to use the touchpad as a tablet, using some kind of stylus for the purpose. What he means is: is it possible to write on the touchpad using a stylus of such that the touchpad recognizes the input?
Both of us have Synaptics touchpads, and I don't think it's possible to do any such thing. But I just wanted to make sure from you folks. Any comments on the matter? Do you think it can be done somehow?
