# Simulating tablet size

## Steps

* Find the dimensions of the device and the active area (the dimensions will be published online)
* Cut out a piece of cardboard to the size of the tablet
* Draw a rectangle on it to represent the active area
* Try drawing on it

## Example

## Things to test

* Does the active area give you enough space to draw?
* How will you place the tablet relative to your keyboard?
* Does it fit on your desk?
* Especially for pen displays, hold it about half an arm's length away. How much does this prevent you from reaching other items on the desk?
