No because in that case you are describing something more specific, a piece of software explaining to them how good it is so they would need to know the name. In this case it's just a generic device and I always think it comes across as quite arrogant when everyone else says "laptop" and then someone comes along and says "MacBook" because in reality all it is is a laptop.

To be fair, Apple would probably argue that a MacBook is a notebook rather than a laptop, and I don't often hear people even use the word notebook in a generic sense.

Loll tbh I hadn't noticed that before Although I am guilty of it cos I say my Blackberry rather than my phone but I have 2 phones so I guess I have an excuse

Likewise, I've always seen BlackBerrys as different to phones (not necessarily better than, because I hate them lol).

You could also argue about people saying iPod instead of MP3 player, but who the hell says that?!

Notebook is synnonymous to laptop isn't it? :S

There is an actual difference, this page outlines them fairly well: http://www.homeofficebuddy.com/offic...k-laptop.shtml

But they are interchangable, MacBooks for example are called Notebooks but they don't fulfill the requirements to be one, so actualy they are laptops.

my iphone

Can I choose 2? Laptop and External hard-drive, who needs a phone when u can get it all for about £300, go to mcdonalds and get free internet, Wi-Fi

I suppose the life-support machine hooked up to me I couldn't live without? Nah jks.

Mmm, I suppose I couldn't live without... the microwave, gotta have those soups.

I wasn't aware of the actual differences but this actually contradicts what I suggested unless they prize themselves on how light their MacBook is as this is seems to be the only real positive aspect of a notebook. Thanks for that info
