Opposite meaning today?
I went to check and 9 years ago laptops were bigger then notebooks.
Back in 2008 - What is a Laptop Computer?
(n.) A laptop is a small, portable computer -- small enough that it can sit on your lap. Nowadays, laptop computers are more frequently called notebook computers, though technically laptops are somewhat larger in size than notebooks, in both thickness and weight.
