my laptop is not a notebook

Solution
"Laptops" and "notebooks" are used interchangeably like "PC" and "computer". However, there are some tech neophytes who uses the term "CPU" instead of "computer" or "PC".

Laptops / notebooks generally fall into two major categories: portable (light enough to carry around) and desktop replacement (big and heavy). Desktop replacement laptops are usually more powerful than portable laptops.

"Ultrabooks" are relatively new. These are light, powerful enough laptops that generally have long battery life. These tend to be more expensive than your average portable laptop.

"Netbooks" have been around for sometime. They are small, light, inexpensive and not very powerful at all. They can be smaller and sometimes lighter than ultrabooks. Good...

I believe you have forgotten the even newer one-Chromebooks. They are basically notebooks but made by Google(Chrome)and they have like all Google software..etc.
 
I don't consider Chromebooks to be laptops. Their main weakness is that everything is stored in the cloud which makes them more or less useless if there is no wifi.

I believe Asus has a Chromebook which allows you to save files within the Chromebook itself much like a laptop, however, it was expensive. For the money they were asking I would simply prefer to spending it on a ThinkPad T series laptop.

To be fair there is no specific criteria for what operating system the laptop runs or how it stores its information, only that it be in a portable form factor.
