Which is better for writing notes?

The Plxanve. It has a dry-erase whiteboard face. The VEVOR is cork only, so you would pin paper to write.

Which holds more pinned items?

The VEVOR. At 36 x 24 inches its cork area is far larger than the Plxanve's small cork face.

Can the Plxanve go on a desk?

Yes. It ships with hooks and screws and can be placed on a desk or hung on a wall.

Is the VEVOR magnetic?

No. It is a cork board with a linen surface, so magnets will not stick.

Is it worth stepping up to the VEVOR?

Only if you need a large display board. If you also want to write, the Plxanve covers both jobs in one small board.

Plxanve Magnetic Whiteboard Cork Board Combo vs VEVOR Cork Board with Linen Surface

The Plxanve is a small, light combo board: one side dry-erase magnetic steel, the other cork, and it hangs or sits on a desk. The VEVOR is a large linen-covered cork board, roughly 36 by 24 inches, built for pinning and display rather than writing. Buy the Plxanve if you need to write notes and pin a few things in a tight space. Buy the VEVOR if you want a big, quiet-looking pin board for a wall. Owners of small combo boards like the Plxanve report thin frames and light magnets; VEVOR's larger cork boards are widely described as sturdy but plain, with no writing surface.

Choose the Plxanve if you want one compact board that both takes dry-erase notes and holds pinned photos or memos, and you may set it on a desk instead of the wall.
Choose the VEVOR if you mainly need a large pin board for photos, notices and fabric-backed display, and you do not need a writing surface.
