Why Apple won't sell laptops

It's true. Apple doesn't sell laptops. I heard it from an Apple employe who chided me when I referred to my MacBook Pro as a laptop. "We don't sell laptops but we do sell portables. We don't sell laptop computers because, generally, portable computers get too hot to keep on your lap." As you know, Apple is a stickler for everything it produces, including the words it uses to refer to its products.

<p>Lesson learned: I won't refer to my MacBook Pro as a laptop unless I'm willing to take the heat.</p>
