The Data Slate is a sleek, rectangular device with a slightly curved back for ergonomic handling, measuring approximately 20cm in length and 10cm in width. Its surface is made of a durable, matte-finish metal alloy with subtle brushed textures, featuring a high-resolution touchscreen display that emits a soft blue glow when active. The edges are beveled for a modern look, and the back panel has a series of small, recessed ports for data transfer and charging, along with a barely visible manufacturer's logo etched near the bottom.
