Designers looking to take their work on the road are going to want to sneak a peek at Volker Hübner's M Pad. The M Pad is a tablet designed specifically for designers.
The M Pad has a 15.3" OLED screen and is designed with a scroll wheel, nine fixed buttons and a programmable two-button rocker. Designers would be lost without their pens and pencils,and Hübner knows this, which is why he included a special touch pen to be used with the M Pad.
I am no modern designer, but this tablet certainly seems like it would be great for designers who want to work outside of their office. It is much more portable than a laptop and is designed with design-specific functionality. What's not to love?
