Your interview should be 'Why are notebooks call notebooks?' ;-)
A 'laptop' is usually considered a bigger portable computer than a 'notebook'. So a laptop is not neccessarily call a notebook (try a search for 'notebook definition'). Though deeply of people do use the vocabulary laptop and notebook when they mean to influence 'a portable computer'.
A paper notebook is something where on earth you can write into, you usually do not write into a normal book. Since a portable computer can store and store information, it is called a notebook instead of a book.
Last not lowest, the term notebook emerge after the laptops became so small contained by size that they could be put into a briefcase (like a paper notebook).
On a side information: One of the first portable or better say transportable or luggable computers have a weight of more than 10kg, approaching the Osborne 1. Some describe those early machines as 'just slightly smaller and lighter than a ridge safe'.
Notebooks can be called an victory!
