Listing has just been improved. Now you can choose price depending on need for stylus. When I purchased mine, 5 days ago, I paid full price, there was no option stylus/no stylus in the listing. I needed the stylus. When I contacted the seller to let them know that there was no stylus in the shipment, I was told that the stylus was not part of the product even if it prominently appeared in the product images and description. So I am in the process of returning it. I have purchased the same from a more straightforward seller who guarantees to ship the stylus too.Computer is good. It does what it is supposed to do. The one I received was in excellent condition.
