Notebook or laptop?

[Jugernot]

So which is it?

 

[Yzzim]

laptop

notebook is a tablet PC...or at least that's what i think of when I hear "notebook". Seems much more fitting anyway.

 

[notfred]

either

 

[joohang]

Who cares? Either work for me.

 

[joohang]

Well, I object calling anything "laptop" that could potentially burn my lap. I'd just call that a portable computer, or maybe a notebook.

 

[Yzzim]

Neither, it's a portable microcomputer system.

so, PMS? I don't think the marketing on that would work out too well

I call any of the ultraportables a laptop.

The big, 8-9lb 15" screen, desktop replacement computers I call notebooks, cause they sure as hell aren't going in my lap. You could roast marshmallows on those! :Q

Centrino

[Atlantean]

Laptop.

 

[BurnItDwn]

they were all called laptops back in the 486 and pentium days ... seems like when they got lighter and thinner .. they started to use the word notebook.

A notebook is something you write on and has paper.

I call it a laptop

 

[Derango]

The reason they call them notebooks now (at least the reason Dell calls them notebooks), is that some of them get too hot to actually put on your lap.

That said, I use the two words interchangeably.

So I can call my gfs, laptops. They sit on my lap and I work on them.

 

[Scarpozzi]

Laptop. The ultra-thin ones are considered Notebook computers by me, but I could just as easily call them Lappies out fo habit.

 

[spaceman]

i'd go with a notetop or a lapbook.

 

[dman]

I always refer to mine as 'the laptop'. My family refers to them as laptops also.

A notebook would be much thinner and lighter to earn that description... and I'd probably still call it a laptop. I'd be happy it was thin and light though.

I say laptop, even though I don't entirely trust having the thing near my crotch

When I worked for BB (a long long long time ago) I would have people that would ask "Do you have any Intel Insides?"
