Notebooks have been booming with reviews whether good or bad. Many still are confused to the difference between a notebook and a laptop. For some companies the term is interchangeable while others refer to the CD-ROM size (if any) to determine which is which. A laptop will have the CD-ROM in the system while the notebook will offer a place to attach the data.
For companies that make both a laptop and a notebooks, the notebooks is smaller and lighter, with a little less functionality than a laptop. Other companies do interchange the term so it is important to access your needs and preferences if in fact the two are different.
