# Simulating tablet size

## Steps

* Find the dimensions of the device and the active area. These dimensions are usually 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

<figure><img src="/files/3eXOQMp1Vva1exi3wSYf" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

## 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 that limit your reach to other items on the desk?
