A laptop is no TV. Yes, really.

It's not? Laptops can play movies just fine, thank you.

Television:
1 : an electronic system of transmitting transient images of fixed or moving
objects together with sound over a wire or through space by apparatus that
converts light and sound into electrical waves and reconverts them into visible
light rays and audible sound

Sounds like the Laptop and flat panel qualify! You're wrong again!


With your logic a laptop is also a plane, ship and locomotive...

Cheers!
