Many interesting items at CES 2014 were tucked at some corners difficult to reach by major high-flying tech reviewers. It happened so for ASUS VivoTab Note 8, by far the best of all half-dozen of Windows 8.1 8-inchers. And it sucks, as nobody handled the unit long enough to test its Wacom capabilities.
It also happened to this fine point active stylus called AluPen Digital presented by Just Mobile.
As of today, this is the only video showing off the prowess of this gizmo, and in that the AluPen Digital is shown only in second part of the clip.
Of course, a similar active stylus is produced by Dell for its Dell Venue 8 Pro, only this AluPen Digital may even work out of the box and not just add cute pigtails to the end of every stroke like Dell's product tends.
It should work beautifully on this 8-incher:
Unlike all those 10-inchers transformers/hybrids/all-in-ones, ThinkPad 8 is actually wearable. CES 2014 was opened in favour of wearables. They just forgot to push really good wearable computers in front of all those 107 inch TVs and array of smart watches which happened to be very dumb and expensive, still. For more frugal customers of wearable 8-inch computing, ASUS VivoTab Note 8 is still a good choice.
And in March, this AluPen Digital is the best choice for $50 for everyone with any capacitive screen. Unless you can do your own repairs of $30...$35 Dell Venue 8 Pro pen, of course.
Then, there's a sizeable group of doodlers behind this Adonit Jot Touch and other Dagi derivatives:
