| 152657 | 2003-06-15 02:23:00 | Hi all Whts the difference between a laptop and a notebook?? they seem much the same to look at! | Bambi (1486) | ||
| 152658 | 2003-06-15 03:21:00 | Not much at all. Probably just the name. | tommy (2826) | ||
| 152659 | 2003-06-15 04:07:00 | Same father, different mother Bambi. I guess generically notebooks might be heavier and have most features built in, while laptops are lighter and have more optional plug-in accessories to keep the base size and weight down. Or vice-versa, or maybe not ?:| Cheers Billy 8-{) :| |

I think what we call laptops today are what they called notebooks back then. Mike. |

| 152663 | 2003-06-16 03:39:00 | I suspect a "notebook" will be thinner. Probably more expensive, too. Might have a shorter battery running time ... | Graham L (2) | ||
