Default Laptops/Notebooks: Difference?

Okay. What exactly are the difference between a notebook and a laptop guys? Because as far as I can see, both are the same. They have the same features and stuff and even their specs are the same and yet they're called in a different way. So, does anyone here knows the distinctive traits between a laptop and a notebook?

Smile No DVD Drive

The biggest difference is netbooks generally don't have internal DVD drives. Some of the manufacturers like Dell (As i know) provide external DVD drive for additional prize.
The netbooks are of less than 12" screen size. Netbooks are ideal for presentations, hardware / network engineers etc... But absolute no no for developers, programmers.
