I told my friend once "I wanna buy a laptop, and i want the screen to be less than 14" ". She said "so u want a notebook, not a laptop". I don't really think there is a difference. I mean notebook as a portable computer.

There is absolutely NO difference.
Whats the difference between a car and an automobile?

no there isn't a whole lot of difference.
There is mobile computing and laptops though. Mobile computing is using something like the Vaio Type U by Sony. It's small, light, and portable. Laptops are portable but are not truly mobile due to their size. Just think of it this way. If it's a burden to carry it, it's a laptop. If you can take it with you just about anywhere and the keyboard is a pain in the butt to use, it's a mobile.
Keep in mind mobile computing is nice for the guy on the run but the small key board is uncomfortable and it's not the best in terms of every day use.
