notebooks
Writers carry them
Notebooks are bound collections of blank or lined pages for writing notes.
Students carry notebooks to class; writers keep notebooks for ideas.
The word extends to portable computers—a notebook computer, or simply a notebook, is a laptop.
In computing, a notebook may also be an interactive document combining code, text, and output: a Jupyter notebook.
