So I was trying to ask for a new notebook at my office, I wanted to say that my notebook is almost full, so I need a new one.

I ended up saying

私のノートはページがあまり残っていませんので、新しいノートをお願いします。

But I don't know if there is a better way to say it, a more natural way.

Thank you!

    From the phrasing, I assume OP means a (paper) notebook, not a PC.

  • @jogloran i misread "new one" as "new device", somehow, my bad.

    @CharlesReisRibeiro ノートが切れた means "the notebook was (physically) cut" or "we ran out of the stock of notebooks".

You can use the no-adjective いっぱい. You can translate "to become full (with ～)" as (～で)いっぱいになる.

  • ホテルが予約でいっぱいになりました。
    The hotel was fully booked.
  • そのことで頭がいっぱいだ。
    My head is full of that.
  • トウモロコシでいっぱいのトラック
    a truck full of corn

You can say ノートがほとんどいっぱいになりました. ノートのページがあまり残っていません is perfectly natural, too.

ノートのページがあまり残っていない is not bad. You can also say ノートがもうすぐ終わる.
