Do you call a laptop "a notebook"? I'm confused because "a notebook" also means "a book for writing notes". Do you use the word "laptop" more often talking about a computer ?

They are often used interchangeably but technically a notebook is a light version of a laptop. I have a MacBook Air and while it is a laptop, not a dekstop, I'm pretty sure it would be considered a notebook because it's only 1.5 kg.

In China, we call laptops "notebook computers", "notebook" for short.
