Notebook or Laptop?

[LS8]

Notebook. I have never cared for the term "laptop", it just sounds crude.

Applefags. When they're not calling them "Macbooks" :roll:

You're an idiot. I have never owned an Apple and I use the term.

Laptop. Who still calls it a notebook.

I call it a notebook sometimes and I am exclusively a PC user. Its in reference to the usage as a notetaker. I think laptop is far more common, probably because it is easier to pronounce.

How is laptop easier to pronounce than notebook? Are either of them sufficiently hard to warrant one being easier than the other?

15" or greater - laptop
10" to 14" - notebook
< 10" - netbook

Not accepted definition or anything, but my own.

iBook...

No, laptop. Notepad is too easy to confuse with an actual pen and paper thing.

No, it will win because hardly anyone says notebook.

Notebook was a lot more commonly used in the 90s than it is now. I call them laptops.

I think it's designed to conjure up mental images of thin and light, versus the bulky laptops of old.

I use it on my lap, thus it's a laptop. I hardly ever use it for taking notes.

 

[DayLaPaul]

I use mine in my laboratory, thus I call mine a labtop.

I thought they tried to get rid of the laptop name, because they didn't want people actually using them on their lap be it for ergonomics or heat issues? You know, 'cause the name laptop infers that you use it on your lap .

Personally, I still call them a laptop and still use them on my lap if it's the only thing available.

I don't call my EeePC a netbook... I call it a baby laptop. I still haven't figured out which of my two other laptops is the mommy and whether it was consensual.

Um...laptop. Who calls them notebooks? I haven't heard that term from anyone in a decade.
