Also, no difference between "notebook" and "laptop" - just different marketing terms.

However, there are MAJOR differences between a "notebook/laptop" and a "NETbook" ... netbooks are basically built for extreme portability and serve as internet machines with incidental computing ability. They usually come in 7" to 10" size (way smaller than a normal laptop), have very specifically neutered hardware (an Atom processor and 1GB RAM, just enough to surf and open Word), very long battery life (>8hrs) and no CD/DVD drive.

If you're mostly using the computer on the couch at home, most people prefer the notebook/laptop - they're way easier to use, bigger keyboards, etc. I have a netbook, travel a TON for work, and almost never use it, preferring a full-sized laptop almost every time.
