Notebooks are simply smaller in terms of sizes (and performance) than laptops in general.
"Laptop: A portable computer small enough to use on one's lap.
Notebook: A light, portable computer that is generally thinner than a laptop.
Even according to Webopedia, laptop computers are more frequently called notebook computers, though technically laptops are somewhat smaller in size than notebooks."

Nothing.
A notebook is a marketing term coined by HP/Compaq in the 90's to identify itself from the rest of the laptop market.
laptop is the same thing as a notebook.

Different names for the same thing. (Like "Whats the different between a car and an automobile?")

The bottom line is that notebooks are 'supposedly' light/small laptops, but not necessarily.
