An 11″ of good resolution, with good eyesight or reading glasses will do many Letter & A4 PDFs.
A 12″ or better still 13″ is much better.

I remember going from 1600 x 1200 to 1920 x 1080 on the laptop and it made many Letter and A4 PDFs unusable. Now I have a desktop with UPS and 23″ 4K screen and it's the only thing perfect for PDFs. Almost as good as eink for ordinary text but better overall because it's more than 256 levels, HDR colour, vs only 16 levels. Equivalent to about 400 dpi eink with colour filter in resolution.

My tablet is only 10″ (too small for some PDFs) and the 10.3″ Elipsa eink also only does most PDFs, not all.
