Laptops are full-fledged computers, running normal operating systems (the same as desktops), that are in a mobile and light-weight (by comparison) form. You can run any PC program on a laptop, as well as any PC components.
A pocket pc is essentially a Personal Digital Assistant with some advanced capabilities, but is not a full-fledged PC. The hardware in it is also much weaker (much slower processer, much less RAM, much smaller screen, much smaller storage space, etc.). You have to buy special programs to use on it (standard PC programs will not work), and usually special components/accessories as well.
If you want what could be called a portable computer, then you probably want a laptop.

I am a retired IT consultant and I specialised in system security. I developed a secure system based on free software that all did a different job and never conflicted with each other. This system is still used today, 10 years after I put it together and tested it. Firstly, do not try to back up any data, you will only back up any virus you may have, if you are infected, you have lost everything I download and install in this order. I use AVG Free antivirus which does a good job. It is a bit of a memory hog but once installed it looks after its own update automatically on boot up and it writes a guarantee certificate into every email you send telling the recipient that it is virus free. I turn off windows firewall and use Zone Alarm as it is so much better. It also warns of any email that has a bug in it. You have to update it manually (about once a week) as I do not like its auto-update feature. Next is Spybot which finds and kills malware and adware. This has to be manually updated. Spybot is the most aggressive malware killer I know. It also has Teatimer which gives you control over the system registry. It asks you to allow or disallow every new registry entry when you install/uninstall software. All software (including virus/malware etc.) MUST enter itself in the registry to run effectively, therefore, if Teatimer suddenly asks you to allow an entry and you have not just installed or uninstalled any software then it is a bug. Close all programs and run Spybot scan and fix all problems then scan with AVG. The next one is Trend Micros "Hijackthis" Download and install then run that and it lists all programs associated with your browser. Any that you do not recognise, check and fix them. This ensures your browser is not hijacked, which is what happens when you are taken over as a botnet and used to send spam mail or worse. Now you need rootkit hook analyser. This scans and any program shown in red has hooked into and infected your rootkit. It will show about 30 entries from Zone Alarm which all read "True Vector Services". Leave these there but check and fix any others. By now you have a clean machine. I then get Abexo Free Registry Cleaner. This lists all redundant registry entries. Delete them all. The worst thing here is you may have to re-install some software package but I never have had to. That also applies to Hijack, where if you take out something in error some package may have to be re-installed. After you run Abexo, your PC should run a lot faster. an AVG scan should be done once a week or more, same with spybot and remember to manually update spybot twice a week. Also, with Spybot you should immunise the system after all scans are run and any cleaning is done. This protects all your files from a linked infection (where the end of file marker is replaced with a pointer to the infecting file). If you go this way you will never get anything which cannot be dealt with, there are too many security programs watching your system. You should save this page and print it out so you have these recommendations at hand to refer to as you install the packages. Good luck!

Their difference are their size and features
The pocket PC is like a cellphone but with instead of pressing keys in button, it can press it in screen with a pen-like device.
Laptop is only computer that can't be insert in pocket.

It depends on the size of your pocket
