Laptops & Notebooks

Not sure if a notebook or laptop is right for you? It helps if you can make a distinction between the two. While the differences between laptops and notebooks aren’t always clear, the former is often slightly heavier and thicker than the latter. The average laptop weighs about five pounds, whereas the average notebook weighs about three pounds or less. As for thickness, laptops are generally 1.5 to 2 inches thick, whereas notebooks are generally between 0.5 to 1 inch thick.

These distinctions aside, the right laptop or notebook for you will depend on your intended purpose for the device. Will you be doing a lot of multimedia work, such as recording and mixing music, or uploading and editing photos and videos? Or will your device primarily be used for web browsing, researching, and writing reports on Google Docs? By focusing on your intended use, you can more easily narrow down your choices. Other considerations include your budget, desired features, and operating system.
