Notebook = Laptop

It's just the standardized name for a laptop, it's used more in the US than Europe however.

not quite... netbooks have no dvd drive, and generally speaking about a 10-11 inch screen.

Not much memory space either, and you'll be lucky to find one that comes with an instruction book! Fine for emailing & surfing the web though.

Notebook wink is the subject.
A "Netbook" is all that you say.
