    laptops and notebooks are the same. They are the portable ones that fold up. The desktops sit on top of desks and aren’t quite portable and have towers and separate screens.

    Laptops and Notebooks are the same things….the things you see people in airplanes. The other ones with the seperate monitor and keyboards…Those are desktops. :)

    a laptop and a notebook are the same thing; they are those portable computers you see everyone using at school, and in coffee shops. a desktop is the BIG box thing called a computer, it usually sit on a a desktop(hence the name DESKTOP) or beneath the desk.

    Laptops and notebooks are the same thing; computers that you can sit on your lap and take anywhere. A desktop is a computer that consists of a moniter, tower, and keyboard and mouse; they are usually for a house or somwhere that the computer stays.

    laptops and notebooks are the same thing, laptops being an older term. They are essentially smaller more mobile personal computers. A desktop is what most people call their computers, because it is designed to be used in a home, or home office. they generally have a tower case and peripheral devices plug into it (mouse, keyboard, monitor, etc)

    ok ill give you their true definitions and then what i think.

    labtop – a portable, usu. battery-powered microcomputer small enough to rest on the user’s lap.

    desktop – small or compact enough to fit or be used on a desk: a desktop computer.

    notebook – A light, portable computer that is generally thinner than a laptop.

    Basically they all are the same thing, all are computers. However, desktops are not portable and are computers you have in you office or you home computer and they are bigger than labtops or notebooks. Laptops are portable and so are notebooks. To tell you the truth it doesnt matter what you call them, you can call portable computers laptops or notebooks. It just seems to me like notebooks are the new way to call them especially how they are taking the place of them and how they are basically becoming notebook size.

    desktops is the one with a tower and monitor, the laptop and notebooks are the portable computers.
