"We just need someone with a datapad and binoculars."
―Leia Organa, to Luke Skywalker[3]

A datapad,[1] also known as a tablet,[4] was a small electronic device used for inputting, storing, and displaying information.[1] At least some datapads had reflective surfaces. Merei Spanjaf once saw a dim reflection of herself when staring at her datapad in consternation.[5] Additionally, some datapads came with a built-in locator[6] and a scanner.[7] A training datapad was a type of datapad used for training by aspiring cadets of the Imperial Academy.[8] The datapads used by the Advanced Science Division of the Galactic Empire also used as keys to open doors.[9]

Datapads were used to slicing into other technology[10] or act like a Holodiary. [11] Datapads have a datascreen[12] that showed a cargo manifest.[13] Datapads also had a built-in holoprojector that projects holograms like a bounty, [14] a built-in distress beacon that sends a distress signal,[15] transmit encrypted coordinates[16]
