Any passive Stylus pen will work fine.

Any stylus pen with a concave head will work just fine, but you're probably looking for something with pen pressure, right?

With pen pressure tablets, you have to rely on your machine using the right technology for it.

Either gen a pen specifically for Asus machine, or get a more universal one like the "Bamboo Ink" from Wacom. Here is a list of its compatibility: https://www.wacom.com/en-us/comp (I saw some Transformerbooks on it).

 

Alternatively, you can get pen tablets from Wacom. The cheapest ones are about 70 euros new and you draw on a tablet, while looking at your screen. I have been drawing on one of those for the last couple years now

Surely. Works with my pen tablet (when I tried it just a minute ago in Paint 3D, normal Paint doesn't work with pen pressure and any other respectable drawing program will work with pen pressure).

i looked that bamboo ink pen up, and it needs bluetooth smart... where can i find if the ASUS T101HA has that?

I would check the website of your bluetooth/wifi module manufacturer to see if it supports Bluetooth smart (which apparently is the older name of Bluetooth LE, according to Wikipedia).

According to the Asus website, you at least have Bluetooth 4.1, but the manufacturer of the bluetooth card (it's likely a BT/Wifi card, usually made by Intel) can choose to or not implement BT LE.

 

Go to Device Manager (Apparaatbeheer) and look for 'Network adapters' and check the model numbers. You will want to look for the wireless adapter (there will be more than one physical adapters if you have wired ethernet too) and just Google that part number and check what the manufacturer says.
