tabletsized

Tabletsized is an adjective used to describe objects or designs that are roughly the size of a tablet. Because the word tablet can refer to more than one thing, the meaning depends on context. In consumer electronics and product design, tabletsized typically refers to dimensions similar to tablet computers, roughly 7 to 10 inches diagonally, with a width of about 4.5 to 7.5 inches and a thickness around 0.2 to 0.3 inches. In this usage, tabletsized helps compare portability, grip, and display ergonomics to other form factors such as phones or laptops.

In pharmaceutical contexts, tabletsized refers to the physical dimensions of a medicinal tablet. Typical tablets range from about 5 to 25 millimeters in diameter (for round tablets) and 2 to 8 millimeters in thickness, though sizes vary by dosage form and manufacturer. Tablet size affects swallowing, disintegration, packaging, and dosing accuracy.

The term is informal and not a standardized measurement. Hyphenation is common (tablet-sized). It is more likely to appear in product briefs, design documents, or informal descriptions than in formal specifications. See also tablet, form factor, ergonomics, and dosage form.
