Whiteboard recommendations? (or alternatives) (lemmy.ml)

When solving problems (math/computer science) I often scribble on some random sheets of paper to visualize my ideas or to save progress of some temporary solutions. I hate it, it's a mess and a waste of paper. I've been thinking of getting something like a whiteboard for a while and I want to finally commit.

Does anybody have any recommendations for a whiteboard or a whiteboard-like (for example an interactive board) product? From experience I know that whiteboards get dirty quickly and require to be cleaned with alcohol regularly.

Alternatives I have considered and subsequently disregarded:

  • blackboard (chalk dust in my room, no thanks)
  • graphical tablet for my laptop (I want something that would always be on display, not hidden away in a file)
  • tablet with a stylus (same as above)

Look for "stone paper notebooks". The ink wipes off , they last forever, and are around 20euros

There are some eink reader type devices with stylus input. Not cheap though.

A bunch of papers always will be more eco-friendly than any electronic gadget!

Have you thought of a Magna-Doodle?

  • They're easy to erase (just pull the lever)
  • About page size (which is good if you want something you can lug around or work with on a desk, but not if you want more than one page of space)
  • They last pretty much forever if you don't bang them around, and even if you bang them around they still do pretty well.

Downsides:

  • Low resolution
  • Erasing one spot is not well supported
