Ah right. That's not a notebook - that's an iPad, which is a tablet or
slate computer.

Different type of device; notebook PCs have a keyboard and have a
hinge along one edge so that they open like a book to reveal screen on
one side and the keyboard on the other.

"Notebooks" are the modern name for what used to be called "laptops",
for 2 reasons: [1] because they're smaller than the big old devices
that needed a whole lap, approximately A4 in size; and [2] because in
many cases, modern ones run so hot that if you actually used it on
your lap, you'd burn yourself.

Anyway, your friend is right, there is no accessible CLI on an iPad.
No Terminal, no nothing. But although they are running the same core
OS as the Mac, the iPad runs "iOS", what used to be called "OS X" as
opposed to "Mac OS X". Big difference, which is why they've renamed
it.

iOS does still have a CLI in there, but as you were told, you'd have
to jailbreak it and install either a terminal program or an ssh daemon
and connect to it remotely over Wifi.
