But my paper notebook is 20.25 inches, so no 15.6 convertible can compete with. Also 15.6 are 16/9 which are too narrow. If you have to switch windows on such screen, it’s because there’s little room to work comfortably. The best option is to have multiple screens, you can’t carry them easily.

I’m not saying I have the best setup but everyone should be aware of that. It’s better to mix old and new technologies.

OK. a 15.6 screen with aspect ratio has dims. ~7.6 x 13.6 in. Convertible you can also use in tablet mode so, you have writing space very close to that of the legal paper format 14 x 8.5 in. and that beats your 20.25 in. paper notebook in many aspects with hands down. As an extra in tablet mode you can scale up or down your handwriting, easily insert some pictures, notes etc., etc. To mention just a few of the negative aspects of your very large paper notebooks: you do not have to carry extra large and heavy bag not to mention the environmental impact your use of the elephant paper notebooks have. Just think about the carbon footprint your leave behind you with the use of so much paper and how many trees have to die to satisfy your 'elephant' paper size needs and uses. I do not see any advantages in sticking to some old habits that in actuality are wastes and nothing else. Yes, traditions are nice and good but they are not so good when they border on excess and waste

Maybe my notebook is big but it's more comfortable.
Using paper is not a waste since trees are renewable. Finland has been the first paper producer but there's no deforestation on that country. The key is to grow trees.

Electronic devices produces a lot of pollution. You can do somme research on that.

We could debate on the carbon footprint of paper or electronic devices but this thread won't suffice.
