Yes.
A rose by any other name would still smell as sweet.
If I put a potato on my head, does that make it a hat?
If I put a kitten in a microwave, does that make it a burrito?

Yep, it's the name of the type of machine, not where it's used. The tendency now is to call them "notebooks", which used to be the term for a certain size of machine, because they don't work very well on the lap. The air vents get blocked by clothing, they get warm and heat up parts of the anatomy.
All laptops or notebooks work better on a flat hard surface so air can get at the vents.
Hope that helps.

The Laptop is still a laptop on a desk Because the Lap part of lap top Is (L)ocal (A)nd (P)ersonal and i think but only 80% sure on the top Being (T)echnical (O)ffice (P)rocessor.
I believe the second part is right because laptops were originally technical drawing tablets used for CAD design in the 1970's

I suppose so... Infact i think they dont recommend that you put it on your lap... I remember hearing stories about people getting quite sever burns from the heat they generate.. something to do with using them while sun bathing... or something... if it was... maybe the burns from the laptop just make up for the missing section of tan you'd have on your belly.

It's still a laptop but just in a docking station.
You still have the option to move it if you wanted too.

No. And if you are calling it a laptop, you've already broken about eight federal laws. Please post your address, so the proper authorities can arrest you. Thank you for your cooperation.
