Notebook vs Netbook vs Laptop

[Chainzsaw]

Can we please keep this on Topic?...

We should wait for the OP to reply to the questions we have asked.

As I said several times

You might need to repeat it a few more times, in different locations.

Dell for example, has two 13" Laptops, one with DVD and one without. Acording to you - one is named wrong.

And we won't even get into the Alienware M11x Gaming Laptop that's really a notebook.

As for your descriptions being accurate? That might be true if were... umm.. true.
Dell, HP, Lenovo, Toshiba, etc., don't seem to offer 'notebooks' on their websites.

Guys, no point trying to prove anything to him, he's too hard headed. (been there and tried that in another thread)

Think I'm glad I missed that one.
I just never saw the point of suggesting someone go find a thing that doesn't seem to be 'out there'.

laptop = notebook

i was always under the impression that studies were done that determined putting hot laptop on your lap wasn't healthy (ie. killed sperm), so the term notebook was adopted instead to take away the insinuation that they were meant to be used on top of your nutsack.

even the line between netbook and notebook/laptop is kinda blurry. is it the lack of odd the defines the netbook? or the low power cpu? or the <11" screen size?

If you check online for what's at your local BestBuy up there in Calgary you'll find plenty of 'Netbooks and Laptops - but no Notebooks. If you search for 'notebook' you'll get re-directed to the laptops.

But just to make things interesting if you look at online listings you can sometimes find stuff like this:

I think we scared lynette_08 away.

If we had been lucky it would have scared us away as well.

Guys, the reason the word "Notebook" came around was because the word laptop implies that it's meant to be used on your lap. This created issues legally, as people with overheating laptops would complain of their laptop's overheating when used on their laps, so the word was changed to notebook. As of recently Notebook manufacturers are not allowed to use the term laptop anymore for this reason.

 

[AntiZig]

that sounds like a much more reasonable explanation that the one beenthere was insisting on

 

[WR2]

If anyone starts busting out the lawyer jokes I'm leaving.

Well if Lynette ever comes back......


Get the Asus EEE PC 1XXX one. Should be under 400/350, maybe even less if you can find it on sale.

It's a good starter computer for a child

I was sorry to see the ruggedized Samsung NB30s leave the market.
Anyone know if they're been replaced by something?
