they are quite comparable. yet maximum folk have no thought of the version and use the two. usually i believe notebooks tend to be smaller and lighter, many times aimed in direction of corporation consumers. they have a tendency to have 12"-14" displays, many additionally lack optical drives and as a substitute use exterior drives. They have been aimed to be the dimensions of a 'laptop', now and returned they are call 'extremely portables'. The Apple Air working example is a laptop, yet another is the Toshiba Portege which has been around for some years. those are not the comparable as netbooks. Netbooks are constrained to 10" displays with the aid of Intel. it somewhat is to end them eating into the greater high priced notebooks.

I don't think that there is a difference. Laptop was the original term and as the laptop industry progressed the marketing departments starting calling them notebooks. They think it sounds better. I think that they are right because everytime I hear the word laptop I start to wonder if I'm going to get lucky or if I have work to do.
And to wbriii13, it's more like "A rose by any name smells as sweet."

Notebook is a name that has emerged in more recent years as laptop computers became smaller, and more like notebooks than big slabs of plastic.
They were initially called laptops to differentiate them from desktop pcs, and notebook has crept in but means the same.

no difference.
A laptop computer or simply laptop (also notebook computer or notebook) is a small mobile personal computer, which usually weights 4-12 pounds (2-6 kilograms), depending on size, materials and other factors. (Wikipedia)
