The laptop is a solid, proven object that has survived the years without changing its shape too much. But today he does everything: write, play, watch series, chat, scroll endlessly. The Pokepad, a concept imagined by DaPengPeng, Wengkang Cheng and Qi M, is not trying to wage war with it. He prefers to sit nearby, in a much narrower niche, that of study without parasitic noise or unnecessary distractions.
No notifications during reviews
Designed for students, this concept adopts a compact format, easy to transport. It can slip into a bag, accompany bus or metro trips, and can be quickly removed during class. The idea is not to miniaturize a computer, nor to recycle a smartphone, but to create an object dedicated to studies. A device that doesn’t try to grab attention with notifications or colorful icons, but is happy to be there when you need it.
The interface gets straight to the point. No giant app store, no social networks just a click away. You will find the essentials there: note taking, annotations, consultation of documents, dictionary, voice recording. Everything you need to take a course and do your homework, without the rest.
Another choice made by the designers: the absence of a keyboard. The Pokepad focuses everything on its “Flip Pen”, an integrated stylus which becomes the main tool for writing and doodling. The pen has physical buttons and can even be used to scan homework or documents. The good idea is that it doesn’t get lost. Once used, it stores directly inside the case.
The design follows the same logic. Simple lines, rounded corners, a single photo module, a few physical buttons for volume or voice control. In front of the screen, a small “100” button recalls perfect grades, a nod to the school world. The colors — white, light blue or textured green — reinforce the image of a studious, almost reassuring object, far from the codes of gaming machines.
But obviously, for now the Pokepad remains a concept. And there is no indication that it will ever hit the shelves, unless a manufacturer takes up the idea (and hires the three designers, to say the least!). The Pokepad in any case offers a not uninteresting idea of a modest tool, which accepts not being universal, but which remains focused on a few essential tasks at school. And it’s not so bad!
