Pokepad: This mobile device comes with a stylus and promises easier studying and learning

Generally speaking, laptops are pretty good devices that can be used for gaming as well as productive use cases. The clamshell form factor has proven itself, and accordingly, the overall design of most notebooks has remained unchanged for the past years or even decades.

Now, the so-called Pokepad might introduce a new approach and could replace laptops in certain scenarios. The emphasis is on "certain" here, since the Pokepad is a mobile device for students that are looking to learn and study without any distractions, such as those from social media feeds.

Instead of a keyboard, a special pen or stylus is used as the main input device. This Flip Pen is intended to offer a wide variety of features and can be used to take notes or to practice handwriting. The concept images also show that the stylus has two physical buttons. The Pokepad itself also has a few buttons for adjusting the volume and activating voice input. The pen can also be used to scan assignments, after which the accessory can be simply stored inside the Pokepad.

The Pokepad also features display in landscape orientation, but there won’t be a full-fledged app store, but just a few basic applications such as a dictionary. Whether the Pokepad will actually become available for purchase at some point in the future is still completely unclear, and does not seem likely to us.
