It's to do with the part of the world they are from where their natural mouth movements from their own language mean they find it difficult to pronounce "laptop" correctly, and it comes out "labtop" so in text they type that as they feel it's correct . . . Just as many chinese find it difficult tosay "fried rice" without the customers thinking they were asked if they wanted "flied lice"

Is it going each of ways into abode windows, working for about a minutes, and then rebooting? that could point out that it rather is overheating. attempt cleansing the followers to extend air bypass. Get a working laptop or pc cooler to place it on. Is it beginning the abode windows load and then rebooting before it completes the load? Corrupt record in abode windows itself. Run a restore of abode windows employing the two a abode windows disk or the put in reproduction of abode windows of the restoration Partition of your no longer ordinary force. (verify the documentation on your form of pc to discover the main important to press for the restoration.)

I was going to ask that same question one day; I just forgot. But I, without a doubt, think it is sheer ignorance. Just type "notebook" to avoid calling something something it is not.
