4 tablets so good you don't need a stylus, but they have one anyway

Some people just prefer the handiness of a stylus; maybe you're an artist who draws online comics, a writer who depends on hand-written notes or a germaphobe who doesn't want to smudge the screen too much.

Whatever the reason, you have a few options if you're interested in buying up a tablet you can scribble on. Below you'll find a list of Windows, Android and iOS tablets that might suit your needs. Just note that some styluses, like most accessories, are sold separately.

HP Spectre X2

If you're interested in a laptop inside of a tablet's body, the HP Spectre X2 is a prime candidate. It has a slim, portable design with a keyboard that's included in the base price. It's not as sleek as the Microsoft Surface Pro 4 (below), but it makes up for lack of style with a lower price.

Microsoft Surface Pro 4

The Microsoft Surface Pro 4 is one of the best laptop-replacing tablets and it comes with a stylus, the Surface Pen. It also offers one of the best keyboards for a tablet; however, it's sold separately. You can't win them all.

Apple iPad Pro

Aspiring artist? Apple's biggest fan? Either way, you won't be disappointed by thelatest iPad Pro. Though it's smaller, sitting at 9.7 inches (like the iPad Air 2), it's more powerful than the larger 12.9-inch iPad Pro. The Apple Pencil is an excellent stylus that's comfortable to use, and it's great for graphic designers and other creative professionals. Of course, it's sold separately.

Huawei MateBook:
The Huawei MateBook hasn't hit stores yet, but it's worth adding to this list because its optional stylus has a built-in laser. Yes, a laser. Whether you use it to make a point during a business presentation, or to entertain your cat, is up to you. I'm not judging.
