Is that all u can say?

MANGAM: A laptop computer, or simply laptop is a small mobile computer, which usually weighs 2-18 pounds (around 1 to 8 kilograms), depending on size, materials, and other factors. Laptops were developed to get in the portability factor with the computers. The initial laptops were more or less of same configurations as a desktop. But the demand for the size reduction made them more 'lap'py.
A Notebook is an extremely lightweight personal computer. Notebook computers typically weigh less than 6 pounds and are small enough to fit easily in a briefcase. Notebooks were designed to get the frequently used functionalities of a computer in a handy size and easy to carry case. The handy notebook size was the one that defined notebook computers. There was not even a replaceable hard disk or other peripherals associated with them initially.
The two have similar origins and use but differ in terms of size and functional capacity.
