Question:

The artist friend of yours just bought a new convertible laptop which can be folded into a tablet computer or used as a regular laptop. You advise him to get a touch pen to use with his new computer. What is NOT an advantage of a touch pen?

A There are never compatibility issues.
explanation

Using a touch pen (stylus) with your touchscreen computer has many advantages. It enables more accurate work than is possible with fingers, especially for artists. It does not leave behind the oils that your skin would on the screen and is more sanitary than fingers. It is easier to make handwritten notes with a touch pen than with your finger. The only disadvantage is that touch pens are not compatible with every touch screen, so you must know what kind of touchscreen you have to make sure your touch pen works with it. The majority of touchscreens are capacitive, so the touch pen must be made in a way that it will interrupt an electrostatic field. Resistive screens only register pressure. Their benefits include the ability to create a touch pen out of nearly any material and the superiority of resistive screens for tasks like darkening lines in drawing programs. There are also Bluetooth touch pens, which communicate with the screen using a wireless signal.
