Ah, a physical clipboard.
I don't think there's an established Polish term for that, but "deska z
klipem" isn't a good one. "Deska" in Polish usually refers to a wooden
board or plank, and "klip" ("klipem" in the singular instrumental case)
used in this sense is generally considered jargon.
A better one might be "podkładka ze spinaczem" (or, descriptively,
"podkładka do pisania z uchwytem do mocowania kartek papieru", as one of
the few English-Polish dictionaries that feature "clipboard" at all puts
it).
[Note: "ł" should display as "l" with stroke.]

No, but it's an established term for the computer meaning of "clipboard".
I hope everything is clear now :-)
