1. Can you use a stylus with this? 2. Can you dual boot with win7 or "downgrade" to Win? 3. Does it have the Aura software?

1. You can use a stylus with any touchscreen, so yes. /2. There is no reason to dual-boot, as most- if not all -Windows 7 software works with Windows 8. /3. I looked all over the web for "Aura Software," and the BEST result I got was for a law firm, so I'm still not sure what you mean.

I don't know about a stylus or wha its used for. But I can say the wireless connection is inadequate and goes through periods a couple of times a week when it continually kiks out. The design is poor. All the connectorpors are on the side. The worst is the big clunky power cord which connects where I use my mouse. Worst computer I have ever owned

I have installed (custom/clean install) and now running Windows 7 Professional 64bit on 2 acer 1410 Core 2 solo laptops (mine and wifey's), also added 2 gb RAM (total 4gb RAM now). Both worked without downloading any additional drivers from Acer website. Just need to get the driver for the Synaptics touch pad to get the added funtion of dragging/magnify/scroll by using the touch pad. I was skeptic before..see my earlier post but installed 64bit (thanks to Microsoft for $29 Win7 Pro 64bit Student discount) vs the 32bit free upgrade...my $300 laptop is more like a $600 AS1810 version now!

Hello, my name is Douglas and I am with PurrfectFinds4U, an authorized retailer for the I-Pen Mouse. The I-Pen USB (hardware) is compatible with any windows or mac o/s since it is really a mouse, only with a more ergonomic shape. The driver is firmware built into the I-Pen and will install when plugged into a USB port. However, the additional CD software, which gives it the added capabilities of drawing within any screen (applications, internet, desktop, etc.), creating screen captures and saving them as a file, etc. is only compatible up to Windows XP. (The software CD will not install on a MAC.) There is a newer version of the software which is compatible with Vista, but it sold with the wireless I-Pen Pro II (retail $99.00). As an authorized dealer, we have purchased several of the I-Pen Pro II Vista compatible software CD's separately (without the I-Pen Pro II mouse) and are currently selling them on eBay in a special combo package with the I-Pen USB model, for Vista users. (We hope to have them listed on Amazon very soon.) Here is a direct link to the listing (copy and paste it into the search box if it doesn't display as a link) http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem

The RT version of the Win8 OS is limited, and has been essentially left in the dust by developers. You cannot run any browser but MS IE, that is the one big problem, for me. But at the closeout price, of under $300, it was worth it. If you are looking for a "better" pad and/or tablet, more of the latest apps, or simply despise IE, then the Pro 2 will be better.

I have not used the stylus very much but found it worked flawlessly. I have been using my fingers to touch and go. I am very happy with the monitor's touch capabilties and display. Good Luck!

while I don't own this specific model, as far as I can tell it all depends on the programs you own, i myself use Microsoft One Note which works flawlessly with the tablet. The major issue with getting this computer is if you have an actual use for the touch screen. I'm learning a new language and the writing is simplified with the use of a tablet, It makes learning the new language several times easier. a) On the touch screens I've used, No you don't need alot of pressure. b) With good programs you can leave the handwriting as your own and read it digitally. Otherwise, It is a software limitation to recognize your handwriting and convert it into printed font. c) Again, Software issue, With One Note it is as simple as selecting the eraser and erasing. d) Well, its quite different, the feel is different on its on, you don't have the adhesion you want, and in certain cases, if you have "lag" your writing comes up after you actually passed the area (a slight delay when the writing actually shows up.) Well it is a lot easier to erase, and you dont have any eraser left overs after erasing. Hope it helps "Bones"

I enjoy mine, but I just use it for sketching. For on the go to be honest it's pretty comparable to my Surface Pro 3 (but the buttons on the Cintiq make it a bit nicer for more than sketching). I would definitely go to the store and play with them. MacMall has them for demo.

I personally would not recommend it. I would get a cheep android. There are no modern driver for the original slate. It has lots of glitches. Its very heavy and gets very hot. It was at the time when came out. I like windows. But If you are looking for some thing offordable like I said go for tablet you'll like it a lot better.

There is an FAQ here which might help: http://draw2much.deviantart.com/journal/Monoprice-Tablet-FAQ-for-Windows-7-342426446It didn't work for me (I had terrible issues with pen pressure because of the driver), but it has worked for other people.

Thanks.Yes, like Chinedu said, this is a very portable 'desktop'. Not a tablet in the context of iPad and the like.And being able to install any Windows app is impressive, meaning you can do anything you can do on your desktop (well almost). Only problem how to install something like Office or photoshop, with no optical drive.

I have the Microsoft Surface RT version and I've never used a stylus with it (always use my fingers). I'm going to try one out just out of curiosity now; I just need to find a stylus now. I have never had any problems using my fingers, and my kids have never complained about the touch/response.

Hi, Mark. Your reply is very helpful to me. I'll looking at getting a small notebook in the future and was hoping to be able to handle some graphics and web editing without too much of a slow down. I'm glad to know you're happy running Illustrator on the NC10. How is the graphics card with an external monitor? Is the 2nd monitor limited to 1024x600, or can it handle higher res on the external?Thanks!

You can always pay for Windows 7 and it should work fine. All the drivers are seemingly available for both operating systems. Since it doesn't use touchscreen, you won't be missing out on any fancy Metro gestures.

Hi. I returned my Wacom Stylus because it would not work despite the Wacom info that said it would work. BTW, My Tablet is an Asus vivoTab. I will say that I was very disappointed with the purchase mainly because it was so hard to even find the website for tech questions. Also, the contact for questions never returned my emails regarding my issues. As such, I would say that there are better choices than Wacom.

Yes. Much better than windows 7. Minor issues with the wacom pen sometimes becoming not usable, and requiring a reboot.

Yesss.. u can do anything you can do on a regular desktop computer in my opinion its great I use mine every day and I show it off all the time the only bad thing is its touch interface is pen only no fingers and it isn't multi touch so no pinch to zoom unless you use a USB touch surface like on a wireless keyboard I am happy with mine I have installed windows 8 and it works way better also my opinion
