I have a Lenovo Tab P11 (Gen 2), which while not being that old seems to have been entirely superceded, to the point that I can’t seem to find stock of the only compatible stylus listed on their website (well, that isn’t approaching £90 or shipping from China in Ebay- the RRP being something like £40)...
