"They are both the same. Just different words for one thing.." actually not. there is a subtle difference between the two that is not well known, and often ppl use them interchangeably.
quote from http://hardware.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=05/05/11/169242&tid=184&tid=196&tid=137 "Notebooks and laptops are not the same thing and this is a perfect illustration of the distinction. A laptop is a computer you put on your lap. A notebook is a computer with a screen that folds down over the keyboard (with a form factor like a paper notebook, hence the name). A laptop may or may not have a folding screen (the earliest models didn't). A notebook may or may not be "lappable" - i.e. it may or may not be small enough, cool enough or light enough to hold on your lap. A 19" notebook is a portable PC, but I wouldn't call it a laptop. There's nothing wrong with this category of machine, IMO - I personally keep my notebook on my coffee table 99% of the time, and only carry it with me to a place (in other words, I don't have a need to bust it out in-transit on a train or a bus, I take it out on a corresponding desk or table somewhere else). Laptops are perfectly fine if you want a real go-anywhere computer. But this is not a laptop, and not everybody needs that amount of portability. Some people just need a machine to act as a desktop most of the time, but that still doesn't take up a lot of space and can be moved around easily when needed." moreover to confuse us all there are the tablet pcs which might or might not have a keyboard.. and now laptops are becoming so small, they will soon start blurring the lines between PDA's and laptops Hope this helps :) Rocky --- Ramakanth N <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > They are both the same.

Right now I'm having amnesia and deja vu at the same time. I think I've forgotten this before. __________________________________ Yahoo! Mail Mobile Take Yahoo! Mail with you!
