Apple changed the official description of MacBook to "Laptop"
Apple officially called MacBook Air and MacBook Pro "Mac notebooks" or just "notebooks", which is a relatively outdated laptop industry term. But now, Apple is switching to the term "Laptop", and new terms are used in Apple's online store product pages, articles in Apple's support, and even Mac operating systems. Over the past week, Apple-supported articles have been updated to start using “Mac laptops” or “laptops” instead of “notebooks”, and dozens of articles have been updated, at least on the official website in the United States.
