"Notebook" came before "Laptop" as witnessed by this 1983 ad for the

A "laptop" computer that came 15 years before then (1968) probably
would have been flesh-and-blood. Not a bad thought, but I don't
think anyone used the term then.

I agree.
"Laptops" came 10-15y before "notebook computers" in my
experience.
