unfortunately laptops are not as easy to upgrade as desktops. the only thing you can do is buy an external drives and connect it via usb. memory is not upgradeable \n\nlaptops are made not to be upgradable as the desktops are designed for that

Desktops are generally less expensive and are better able to deal with heat given that they're larger with bigger fans.\n\nAs far as capabilities, you should be able to find a notebook that can do just about everything a desktop can do.\n\nIf mobility is not a requirement and you have enough space for a desktop computer, then get a desktop.  You'll save money.\n\nIf you need mobility or you don't have enough space for a desktop or if you don't have a desk, then you need a notebook.

http://www.webopedia.com/TERM/l/laptop_computer.html\n\nLAPTOP\nn.) A small, portable computer -- small enough that it can sit on your lap. Nowadays, laptop computers are more frequently called notebook computers, though technically laptops are somewhat smaller in size than notebooks.\n\n Notebook\n(n.) An extremely lightweight personal computer. Notebook computers typically weigh less than 6 pounds and are small enough to fit easily in a briefcase. Aside from size and portability, the principal difference between a notebook computer and a personal computer is the display screen. Notebook computers use a variety of techniques, known as flat-panel technologies, to produce a lightweight and non-bulky display screen.\n\nThe quality of notebook display screens varies considerably. Many notebook display screens are limited to VGA resolution. Active-matrix screens produce very sharp images, but they do not refresh as rapidly as full-size monitors.\n\nIn terms of computing power, modern notebook computers are nearly equivalent to personal computers. They have the same CPUs, memory capacity, and disk drives. However, all this power in a small package is expensive.\n\nNotebook computers come with battery packs that enable you to run them without plugging them in. However, the batteries need to be recharged every few hours. \nhttp://www.webopedia.com/TERM/N/notebook_computer.html

Generally laptop and notebook refer to a portable computer but more specifically, a notebook is considered to be smaller than a laptop.  Notebooks are also smaller and lighter than laptops but they have less power but more battery life.  Laptops will generally have more features, more powerful processors but less battery life.  There are two types of PDA's, those made by Palm which use the Palm OS and PocketPCs which run the Windows Mobile OS.  That's the main difference between Palm PDAs and a PocketPC.

I have 3 laptops, a Toshiba, an HP, and a Dell.  I have to say the Toshiba is by far my favourite.  Dell has the most options, but their prices aren't the best, and their laptops are consistently heavier and run hotter.  The hp's are OK, although their battery life tends to be weak.  My Toshiba is just an awesome little machine - great screen, good battery life, good performance, low price.\n\nI'd suggest looking for one of the new Sattilite models with the Intel core duo processors.

I have a windows desktop and laptop, but even so I'd recommend an Apple notebook based on playing with a friend's.\n\nWhile the stats (CPU speed, RAM etc) are less on the Apple, it runs a lot faster.  It is also a lot cooler - my laptop especially gets quite hot to touch around the mouse pad when its been on for a while.  The Apple also has no fans in it, so is silent, whereas my laptop has a fan that kicks in every now and then and whilst not very noisy, is still annoying.\n\nOther than that, you'd only really want an Apple if its any good for you. If you're gonna fall for the hype that Apple's are better for graphics, you wouldn't want a laptop anyway, so choose the one that suits what you need.

are you talking about the cpu? laptops don't need it because they squeeze the cpu into the tiny space under the keyboard. that's why laptops are generally more expensive and sometimes don't last as long.

Already some good answers here.  I use both, at home and work, and each have their advantages.  I love my laptop because it's mobile and lightweight, which means I have a computer wherever I go.  \n\nBut I also like a full-featured keyboard and mouse, which I can use with my laptop--but that's inconvenient. So I use my laptop mostly at home, and a desktop mostly at work.  I bring my laptop to the office, but mostly so I can easily transfer work files to it.\n\nWhich is better? They both are!

Just the name mostly. Though I think it's just Macs that are called notebooks. Laptops are PCs

toshiba usually make great laptops, i have used dell, compaq, fujitsu, hp and toshiba laptops they just differ in their processing powers. now i just look at the specs not much on the brand but just as long as they are branded, depending on how you'll use it that's where the specs go in. most laptops nowadays have buitl-in wireless cards if it has none i believe you can buy a plug in

There's usually a panel you can unscrew on the bottom. It's actually very easy - you don't have to take the whole thing apart. The one drawback is generally laptops have a lot fewer RAM slots than desktops. You'll want to check to be sure you can add it, as you may need to consider instead replacing what you have.

A notebook adapter according to me would be the electrical device the powers up your notebook.\nthe network adapter on the other hand would be the device that connects you to the internet. netword adapters can be wired or wireless.\nthe wired adapter should come pre-installed.\nwireless adapters can come in 2 ways - 1. BUILT IN or 2. ADD-IN\n\ncheck your notebook manual for more details. since it is new - CALL YOUR DAMN MANUFACTURER FOR HELP

Generally, the inside of a tablet PC is the same as a Laptop, the screen input is the main difference.
