But there are also the Chromebook and Surface Book, so it`s hardly the only one going with this theme.

I'm not criticising the product, I just said it /felt/ like that.

And you know... how laptops were also referred to as notebooks decades ago.

Definitely, in fact as far back as 1988-89, but Apple called their "notebooks" Powerbooks starting in 1991 before anyone else was using -Book in the branding*

* as far as I can recall with the exception of Alan Kay who was dreaming up the future in 1972 and called it the DynaBook
