Small and neatly arranged, taking up little space.
“Despite having so many parts, the device is surprisingly compact.”
“It's compact enough to fit in one hand.”
Use 'compact' in Task 8 to describe objects that are small but seem to have several parts or functions packed into them, which is common with strange gadgets. It's more specific than 'small' and suggests efficient design, as in 'it's quite compact, so it probably folds up for storage.'
Synonyms: small, portable, space-saving
