Nebo is only compatible with operating systems (OS) and devices that can handle our technology. While it is possible to write in Nebo with either a passive pen or an active pen, active pens are recommended for the best note-taking experience.
To run Nebo we advise a device with the following minimum recommended specifications.
With Chrome OS & Active pen
| RAM | 4 GB RAM memory (6G RAM will be optimal), 3 GB may cause slowdowns with Nebo on some devices. |
| CPU | Quad-core CPU |
| Display | A high-quality touch screen |
| Stylus | An active pen or a passive pen |
| OS | Chrome OS (non-beta versions) |
The list below is not fully comprehensive. We cannot test all devices on the market, so if your device is not listed, please check that it is compliant with the above hardware requirements.

My device has touch screen BUT doesn't support active pens: You can use a capacitive pen and use Nebo on your device.
My device doesn't have a touch screen AND doesn't support active pens: You will not be able to use the full potential of Nebo on these devices. As you are limited to using the keyboard for typing, you will not be able to create diagrams or math equations.
