Best Computation & Data Pads of 2025

"For me, this is THE paper to use. I no longer prefer college-rule or wide-rule paper. As someone in data analysis, this paper allows me to present formulas and information clearly and beautifully. I go through about 600 sheets every 3 months!"

"As a PhD student in Mechanical Engineering, I hesitated before trying this pad, but it has become my favorite. The thinner paper lets the grid show through while keeping my writing dark and visible. I highly recommend it!"

"I've used this paper since college and have found it essential for my engineering projects. The light grid printed on the back is perfect for guidance while maintaining clarity in my notes. My only wish is for this to be available in a bound notebook format!"

"I needed this paper for college, and it has great quality at a perfect price."

"This paper is cheap and dependable. It doesn't bleed or tear easily, and I would highly suggest it."

"For my engineering homework, this paper works great—it's nice and smooth to write on."

"This is standard engineering paper, exactly as expected. The pages are on the thinner side, but it’s absolutely fine to use."

"I returned this but ended up using it to take notes. Surprisingly, I will be purchasing this product. The grids are visible while writing, but they don't show when I rip out the page. The only downside is that pages start to fall apart towards the end."

"I found the Amazon Basics pads to be very usable. Although one arrived damaged, the paper is thinner but works well. The lines are clearer than the name brand, but I might choose TOPS in the future due to price."

"I have relied on Ampad Computation Notebooks for years, using them for various tasks like meeting notes and to-do lists. The excellent paper quality and sturdy covers make them a joy to use. Recently, I encountered a less desirable version, but I'm relieved to find the product has returned to its former glory, despite the new red cover color."

"When I first bought this notebook, I was impressed by its thick pages that resist bleed-through. The grid layout is perfect for keeping my notes organized. Although I preferred the previous yellowish paper, the current white pages work just as well. However, I've noticed the cheaper cover quality in my recent orders, which has been a bit disappointing."

"As an engineer, I've found this notebook to be a professional-quality tool that I can depend on. The spiral binding allows it to lay flat, and the numbered pages make indexing simple. While it's pricier than other options, the durability and writing experience make it worth the investment."

"I appreciate the right size and, as I prefer, it is not 3-hole punched. I can punch the holes myself for a perfect fit."

"I only needed a small quantity, and this was the right amount for my project."

"While the paper was exactly what I needed, I received two damaged pads and faced longer delivery times than expected."

"The clear lines are essential for my work, and the paper erases well. It's just what I needed."

"The grid lines are thin and clear, which is crucial for my tasks. However, I wish they would ensure better quality control on shipments."

“I find these pads perfect for our home construction business. The thick paper holds up well on job sites, and the pages tear off easily. I will definitely be purchasing again!”

“I was in need of some quadrille pads, and these ones fit the bill nicely. They help me organize my notes efficiently.”

“I use quadrille graph paper frequently, and I'm always exploring different brands. This one stands out because it's affordable yet the grid is accurate. Plus, the double-sided feature saves me paper during design iterations.”

"I use this paper for my calculations. It's thicker than regular notebook paper, so it doesn't tear easily, and it's much cheaper too! The grid is helpful, though I mainly use it like lined paper. Removing the first few sheets can be tricky, but after that, it’s smooth sailing. I started using it for a class, and now I just prefer it."

"This product does exactly what I need. The glue at the top is holding strong, unlike some other engineering pads I've tried. Plus, having 200 sheets in one pad is fantastic!"

"I bought this for class and opted for a larger pack to avoid running out. It's straightforward and practical—I can just toss out any messed-up sheets without worry!"

"As a third-year engineering student, I’ve tried many brands of engineering paper, but TOPS is my favorite. The paper is thick, and it handles 0.7mm lead exceptionally well. The lines are clear on the front side, and the margins are always accurate. The only drawback is that I notice some tiny blemishes on the recycled paper, but once I start filling it with notes, I hardly notice them."

"I've relied on the TOPS Engineering Computation Pad for years for my calculations. The 8-1/2" x 11" size is perfect, and the glue top makes sheet removal clean and easy. The green tint is easy on the eyes, and with 200 sheets, it offers great value for my projects."

"During my school days, I loved using this engineering paper. The grid lines were just visible enough to keep my notes neat without being distracting. I never experienced any ink bleeding, and the price was definitely worth it. I used about two pads each semester, and I plan to keep buying them."

"I find this graph paper to be great quality, and I appreciate the graphics on it. I can easily draw graphs and designs by coloring the squares when I'm bored. The price is decent, but I think it could be even lower on Amazon. Overall, I use it all the time and believe it’s definitely worth the money."

"With three kids tackling college-level calculus, we go through a lot of graph paper. This is by far the best value I’ve come across so far!"

"I love this graph paper! The sturdy thick paper has really helped me improve my handwriting, and for the first time, I can actually read my own notes! It's a great deal for the price, and I'm definitely going to buy it again."

"I find this hard-to-find quadrille paper invaluable for my work and will definitely purchase it again."

"The light lines make it easy for me to sketch, and I appreciate the sturdy quality of the paper for my drafting patterns."

"I was surprised by the price, but the 10 squares per inch ruling is perfect for my needs, especially for cross stitch and crochet patterns. I couldn't resist ordering it when I found it on Amazon!"
