Question

Answer 1

they are the same stupid...

Answer 2

Well laptop is the old name for notebooks. well I recommend you to buy notebooks just make sure the processor is T7200 or higher and if it runs VISTA make sure your Memory of Ram is 2Gigs or Higher don't get 1 gig or lower.

Answer 3

The main difference between a laptop and a notebook is the size. The term laptop computer and notebook computer are used interchangeably today. During earlier evolutionary years of the technology's development, the term 'notebook' was often applied to the lightest weight and smallest units being created, but the units and terminology are now virtually the same. Mostly the term notebook is used for 14 inch or less.

I don't know what you would like to use this 'notebook' for, but I think the HP530 is pretty mediocre. You can get better value for money notebooks for that. BTW: this 'notebook' would be better classified as a 'laptop'.
