In "The Office", the Sabre company creates a tablet computer in what ineffectual shape?

The story behind the answer

In "The Office," Sabre creates its ineffectual Pyramid tablet in a triangular shape. The bizarre device appears in Season 8 as Sabre’s answer to the growing tablet craze, and its deliberately impractical design is one of the joke’s central details.

The tablet is introduced in "The Incentive," when Stanley sells Sabre’s new Pyramid during Andy Bernard’s sales challenge. Its name reflects its shape, while the product’s exaggerated thickness and awkward form parody the sleek, desirable tablets associated with Apple’s iPad era.

The Pyramid returns in "Test the Store," when Sabre opens a retail location. A smaller version called the Arrowhead also appears. The device is fictional, so it should not be confused with a real Sabre product or with an ordinary pyramid-shaped computer accessory. Although the object is often casually described as pyramid-shaped, the quiz’s canonical answer is "triangle," matching its visible triangular profile.
