I'm not sure if this one fits but it's the first thing that came to mind.

There's an A7 version.

Edit: Another option.

Okay, so if I need to take a quick note of something, I can either navigate to the appropriate program, wait for it to open, select new note, wait for it to crash, reopen the program, wait for the computer to freeze, reboot, log back in, open the program and then type in what I want.

Or I can scribble something on the back of a piece of paper with a pen.

It is 2026. Post-it notes are now a "free office-perk".

Not just gen z. It's because tech sucks now.

Which dumbasses ever left pen and paper in uni anyway?

They are bringing pen and paper back to university exams, because of rampant cheating last 2 years.

You can be pretty sure a hand written note isn't AI slop, at least.

Less frequent than bic, and yes, it is too hot to think properly!!

Yeah, I suppose they're easy to find in many of 'western' Europe at least. Probably a bit like the Bic brand for ballpoint pens?

Btw, thx a lot as I could not remember the word 'stationary'... must be too hot around here at 38°c, brain must be cooking ;)

Also quite easy to find here in Spain, if you have a stationery shop nearby (not the ones for kids and school), but the ones intended for office use.

Living in France myself and Clairefontaine (and Rhodia, as they belong to the same group which may explain why the paper feel kinda comparable) being French companies, it's quite easy to find them absolutely ... everywhere (be it in a supermarket, an office supply store (fancy or vanilla stationary), even your local 'épicerie' will often sell some pack of looseleaf as well as notebooks in various sizes), at a price affordable enough for kids to use in school.
BTW, it is also my go to paper ;)

Got a Uni Kuru Toga for my birthday, it goes very fine, I love the mechanism!

I've never heard of the Rapid Pro. I'll have to check that out. I was always hesitant of the Rotrings for some reason.

I'm very interested to try the Lamy Safari mechanical pencil with the Kura Toga mechanism whenever it becomes widely available.

We are more people than you think!

I'm very happy to encounter another fan of B5 :)

My favourite size too, with B6. Also love the B5 and A5 slim, but at the moment I can only find these two on Muji.

I've fallen for the B5 size. It sits between A4 (which I find a bit too big, especially when a cover is added) and A5, which is on the small side. B5 is comfortable to handle and not too big to write with on my lap without a table or counter top.

I had followed a lot of reviews of various notebooks, but in the end I decided that an inexpensive B5 suited me better than anything else. For anything more compact, I use a cheap notebook and transfer to the larger B5 later.
