# Mobile Designer Tablets The M Pad is Designed for Modern-Day Designers on the Move By Michael Hines | Published 2011-04-19 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/m-pad References: [yankodesign](http://www.yankodesign.com/2011/04/08/the-ultimate-touch-tablet-pc/) & [volker-huebner.de](http://www.volker-huebner.de/7_profil/profil.html) 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.
