This distinction is made for two reasons: weight and peripherals. While notebooks are lighter, usually about four or five pounds, they not always include disk drives such as floppydrives and CD-ROMs. Bulkier (six or seven pounds) laptops include these drives.
But let's go back to laptops vs. desktop computers; which one is the right one? Well, this should be decided by you, but if you need portability you should choose a laptop. With normal size of 8.5'' x 11'' (although some new models are bigger,

Finally, I'd like to say I own both a and a desktop computer, and although this last one was cheaper to buy and its nominal speed is bigger, it failed some times for apparently no reason, while my faithful has never had any problem andis just as fast as my desktop PC with a lower CPU speed.
