I was wondering if anything special is needed wrt installation and how to get the stylus, etc going. According to the shell of the laptop, it appears to have a Wacom device. Is there any place I can read up on this? I am interested in being able to use the tablet features and the stylus.

Hehe then it's notebook, and you probably don't need anything in particular that relates to the thoroughbred tablets, 
especially in relation to the installation.
Super duper.
