High Performance and Very Ergonomic

What's great about it: Great screen, great design, great ergonomics
What's not so great: keyboard requires slightly hard-hitting keystrokes
Despite objections by the unenlightened, Acer has correctly placed the track pad where God intended the track pad to be, in reach but out of the way where you don't accidentally bump it.
Pros:
- Track pad in the correct spot!
- Keyboard layout is great, and it is backlit
- Excellent large screen
- High precision digitizer works well, almost as well as Wacom (the pen matters, and the Acer and Sony pens work great)
- Low voltage 4th generation CPU, great speed and good battery life
- Runs very cool (45 degrees C), no fan noise
- The ability to position the screen in various places is very useful
- The ABS case is very solid
- Excellent speakers

Cons:
- slightly heavy, but that's the way it goes if you want the giant screen
- keyboard requires harder keystrokes than other keyboards, so typing is slowed slightly
- The ABS case is very solid, but I wish it were metal.

Is the digitizer pen supported with this model？
Yes. Mine did not ship with a pen, but I have pen from the Acer store ($50) which works great. I also have a Sony Active Pen ($60) and that also works great but makes some tapping noise on the screen. The Microsoft Surface Pro 3 pen also works, but it is not as sensitive and you have to press a little harder. The HTC stylus ($10 on Amazon) also works but not as smoothly as the others.

Where to buy a digitizer pen for this laptop?
It should be available to buy since December 1st, but I can't find it anywhere. Also, is the N-trig's DuoSense Pen2 only option?
I have tried four pens:
The Acer stylus from the Acer store works great.
The Sony Active Pen works also great, but is a little noisy (tap tap tap on the screen).
The Microsoft Surface Pro 3 stylus works okay, but is not as sensitive as the Acer or Sony pens.
The HTC stylus ($10) works okay as a mouse but does not work well enough to produce neat handwriting.
This computer has an N-Trig digitizer. The Wacom pens will not work on this screen.
