I'm a tech student and confused which is better: laptop or notebook.

I assume you mean laptop or NETbook! Both are 'good', but quite different in emphasis. Netbooks are mostly good as a small and cheap(ish) communications device. They're great as a second computer, or at least, when you have access to a more substantial computer when you need it. Laptops tend to be much faster, have bigger screens and keyboards, which makes them much more functional for many uses, including word processing etc, but of course they are less portable and tend to be more expensive.If this is going to be your only computer, I'd recommend a laptop.
