1a.A microswitch inside the stylus sleeve triggers power on/wake from hibernate when the stylus is removed (via an ACPI event, likely)

  • A switch could also be used to change the mode of operation of the device, i.e. when the stylus is pulled out, more options become available - options that would be too small to control by fingers.

2. The stylus is stored by pushing laterally into a C-section clip.
