What can I use the magnetic surface for?

It holds magnets, so you can stick up notes, photos or a magnetic eraser and clip. The board itself is still a dry-erase writing surface first.

Is 12 x 8 inches big enough for a to-do list?

Yes for a short list or a few reminders. It is too small for a weekly planner with many columns or for group brainstorming.

It can be hung or used flat on a desk. A rigid backing helps if you write on it while it is held in the air.

Standard dry-erase markers work. Use a dry-erase eraser or a damp cloth, and avoid permanent markers.

It trades writing space for portability and a small footprint. A larger board is better for meetings; this one is better for personal notes.
