Difference between notebook and laptop.

Yea I think you are right. they are same in the name but maybe have some different features. I think laptop computers began to be called notebook when they reached a relatively a small size in the 1990s, but they did not have any special note-taking ability. I think this information will be helpful. Cheers

The only advantage of a laptop over the desktop is its portability. Its your mobile computer anytime anywhere. The main disadvantage is its more costly to maintain. You cannot use it for a long period of time as it overheat. It has a keyboard layout of its own that when you have accustom to it you'll find it awkward to use other regular keyboard.

The laptop is a slightly bigger computer with accessories that may or may not be there on a notebook. Most laptops have a ROM device-this is a DVD-ROM now, earlier it was a floppy drive or a CD-ROM. In the case of a notebook computer, the DVD-ROM could be a plug in device, but today miniaturization has made the distinction too indistinct. A notebook computer today has the same computing power of a slightly larger sized laptop. A notebook could be costlier than a laptop with a similar configuration.

I think they are basically the same. The only variation I see is the size, dimension... smaller laptops I woild more likely called notebooks.

In pedantic terms, notebook is a paper-based item and laptop is a portable computer ;) In non-pedantic terms though they are basically the same thing. Often companies will list them as 'laptop/notebook' just to make sure they catch either keyword.

ya a two names for a same item, for me the only difference is that on notebook we have to write and on laptop we have to type.....

Yes, these are simply 2 titles for the same item. The use of the terms notebook and laptop seems to depend on company, with some companies using one title and other companies using the alternative.

as far as i know both are the same...

i think laptop and notebook is the same and i just a matter of how people called it or used it.. since laptop word is more familiar rather than notebook that it would be compared a typical notebook that is made in paper..
