About

The Grid Pad 16 in brief

Grid Pad 16 is the largest and most visually spacious model in Smartbox's flagship Grid Pad range. It runs Windows 11 Pro with Grid 3 for Windows and uses a 16-inch WQXGA HDR display for users who benefit from larger cells, wider layouts or more precise selections. Like Grid Pad 13, it supports dedicated eye-gaze enclosures for Evo, Lumin-i and Vida, with a PCEye 5 enclosure also available. It includes a 6.5-inch second screen, dual 3.5 mm switch ports, programmable Smart Buttons, environmental control, dual Rehadapt/Daessy mounting and multiple USB connections. Smartbox specifies up to 13 hours of battery life, or around 8 hours with eye gaze, and a 3-year SmartCare warranty where applicable. The package includes the communication aid, mains adaptor and lead, rucksack carry case, remote power button, screen cleaning cloth and support documentation; eye-gaze configurations include the selected camera and associated setup items. Because of its larger size and eye-gaze use case, a robust wheelchair, desk or floor mount is strongly recommended.

Users who need a flagship Smartbox AAC device and benefit from the largest possible screen for visual access, bigger targets or dense vocabulary layouts.
