Dell's new stylus, the Premier Rechargeable Active Pen, has a trick up its sleeve that makes it easier to misplace. You can use the Tile app to find it when it's nearby, because it has built-in finding technology. Tile will be able to show its last known location and use its network to find it if you lose it further away.

Tile is building its tracking technology into third-party devices with the help of the stylus. It has been working with Intel for a couple of years to help track lost laptops, and now Tile's tracking network can help find compatible PCs. Its tracking tech can be found in a number of things, including headphones from Skullcandy and a dog ID tag from Qalo. Tile has a core range of devices that track personal items like keys and wallet.

The Dell's Premier Rechargeable Active Pen is $110 and can be purchased now. You can get a stylus with up to 40 days on a single charge, and it can be re-charged to 80 percent over the internet in 20 minutes. There is no mention of wireless charging on Dell's product page, but the stylus can be attached to compatible Dell 2-in-1 laptops. The stylus has 4,096 levels of pressure sensitivity.
