This is a touch-screen model.
It has no digitizer.
And there is no combination of two things.
It's just a touch-screen.
And in fact it really is either/or.

Tablets with a touch-screen always have a pen. One can draw and write.
It's just as using a stylus an a PDA. Did you ever try to really *write*
on a PDA?
It makes a *huge* difference if the pen is just used with a touch-screen
or a digitizer. Recognition of what is "inked" works totally different
and the digitizer works far superior than a touch-screen.
For very basic drawing and writing a touch-screen may be sufficient. But
the real TabletPC functionality requires a digitizer.
