I played exclusively on a notebook. That way I can play while the wife watches her shows and be in the same room (wives dig that for some reason!).

I don't have any issue. Your main issue will be the onboard graphics and how much view distance it can handle. Mine is a Intel HD4400 and it seems to have no trouble with dialing the distance all the way up.

-Do you find the text in EQ easy to read on such a small screen size?
Fine for me. I think there is a way to change the size of text. Else you can change the font style to make it a little easier.

-From your experience do you think a 13 inch screen size would make a massive difference over an 11 inch screen size (or is 13 still too small), taking into account 11inch is much more portable?
I wouldn't try to play on an 11 inch exclusively. I've used an 11 inch for work before and didn't really like it for general MS Office tasks so couldn't imagine it would be good for playing EQ.

Quote:
-Also, do you think EQ runs well on the notebook you are using/have used?
Runs perfectly on my laptop. See below for model and specs. EQ is a very old game, and this server is a classic emulation so it's not gonna need much grunt to do anything. I remember playing EQ Live back when it first came out on a Pentium 2 (or a Celeron, can't remember) and a Voodoo2... Ah... those were the days!

Quote:
-And if possible, what is the notebook you are using/have used? (Make/Model)
HP T5R13PA#ABG
Windows 10 Home 64-bit
Intel Core i5-4210
Intel HD4400
8GB RAM
1TB SATA

Forgot to mention, notebook screen resolution is 1366 x 768, but I play in windowed mode at a slightly lower resolution. Image below is what my screen looks like, should help you make your decision.
