Laptop vs. Notebook?

Dudley · #1 03-11-2008, 02:06 AM

Soon I will buy one of the above. Could anyone please explain the difference between laptop and notebook?

I need portability, with a PC operating system (please, no Mac recommendations-I have my reasons)

My goal is to shoot images in the field, download to said computer, and do color adjustments at home with a color corrected monitor.

Any recommendations for brand or product? I would like to keep this below $1500, if possible.

Basic difference is terminology.

That eliminates some very good choices

I would have said a Mac, but you don't wanna hear it. :-)

Thanks Swampy for the reply.
I'm too far into Microsoft to switch now. Although if Vista doesn't improve...
Anyway, I've decided to upgrade an old laptop, and see what kind of mileage I can get out of the old case for now.
