-- What is the difference between a Notebook and a Laptop?

I never give it any thought. A Goggle(Ahem) search revealed the following

Laptop vs Notebook

Diffen › Technology › Computers
A laptop computer, or simply laptop is a small mobile computer, which usually weighs 2-18 pounds (around 1 to 8 kilograms), depending on size, materials, and other factors. Laptops were developed to get in the portability factor with the computers. The initial laptops were more or less of same configurations as a desktop. But the demand for the size reduction made them more 'lap'py.

A Notebook is an extremely lightweight personal computer. Notebook computers typically weigh less than 6 pounds and are small enough to fit easily in a briefcase. Notebooks were designed to get the frequently used functionalities of a computer in a handy size and easy to carry case. The handy notebook size was the one that defined notebook computers. There was not even a replaceable hard disk or other peripherals associated with them initially."

Now what's a Chromebook?

 

[NorthStar]

-- So, basically they are the exact same. ...Perhaps the Notebook being smaller (book size), and the Laptop being larger (put it on the 'top' of your 'lap').

"Chromebook"? ...Is that any different than an Ipad?

Traditionally laptops were heavier than notebooks. You can use the terms interchangeably.

Chrome book is a tablet in the notebook form factor.

 

[NorthStar]

-- So, now, in 2013 (almost); they pretty much mean the same.
...Just that the terms remain.

And a tablet is like an Ipad. ...Both without top covers. ...Or does the Chrome book has one?

[NorthStar]

-- Oh it is heavier then.
