DPI which stands for Dots Per Inch only matters when you actually print the image. You can take the scan and print it small at high DPI or large at low DPI.
Let's assume you have an 8x10" notebook.
The images we take of your notebook will be approximately 2400x3000. So if we scan an 8x10 notebook, and you wanted to take our scan and print it out at its original size, the resolution would be 2400/8 = 3000/10 = 300 DPI. Allowing for some fudge factor, we say the range is 250-300.

tl;dr 250-300 DPI

Make sense?
