pos: Laptop and specificity of either term—the term "laptop" appears to have been coined in the early 1980s to describe a mobile computer which could be used on one's lap, and to distinguish these devices from earlier, much heavier, portable computers (informally called "luggables"). The term "notebook" appears to have gained currency somewhat later as manufacturers started producing even smaller portable devices, further reducing their weight and size and incorporating a display roughly the size of A4 paper; these were marketed as "notebooks" to distinguish them from bulkier laptops. Regardless of the etymology, by the late 1990s, the terms were interchangeable. As
