Laptop? or Notebook?
Which term do you use? Please vote on the above poll thank you.

I think of a notebook as being smaller than a laptop. So far, 100% of the people agree with me.
|
:haha: :biglaugha :lol:
|
i think a notebook is made out of paper.......and some wire curly and carboard....
|
they mean the same thing but i say laptop because it can only mean one thing.
|
Plus, my laptop always sits on my actual lap, so it is more accurate.
|
Notebooks are for pens, laptops are for p0r... The Cellar.

laptop is the old term. most manufacturers are moving to notebook. part of it is to get away from liability from burned laps from heated laptops. i have hopped on the bandwagon.
|
It's a laptop. It's much bigger than a notebook.
|
I still say laptop, but now that I own a *notebook*, I am trying to learn to call it that.
|
I use 'laptop' for Windows machines and 'notebook' for Macs (all portable of course).
|
I call my mac laptop a Macbook.

Only in tragic, dire situations I hope. I hate utilizing the "lap" part. |
I read that the radiation and heat can do vile things to sperm count. They should call it a kneetop.

As well as the burnt lap and toasted sperm issues, typing on the machine on your lap is bad for your wrists.
Which is why, as TheOtherGuy notes, liability-shy manufacturers are calling them notebooks. However, "laptop" contrasts so neatly with "desktop". And its catchier. Also, using the machine on your lap, when you're looking at porn, can make the situation rather unstable... PS "Laptop? Thats a funny name for it. I'd call that a Chuzzwuzzah." |
