To say computer in Spanish

Question

I know that computer in Spanish is "computadora". But are there Spanish words for "desktop" and "laptop" ?

Thanks for your help

Answer 1

You've got "computadora de escritorio" and "computadora portátil" (desktop computer and laptop respectively)

The word "portátil" needs an accent. - --Mariana--, Jun 27, 2010

You're right! It's a 'grave' noun. Sorry about that - Lucho, Jun 27, 2010

No, it is aguda (ends in a consonant). That is why you need an accent to place the stress on a different syllable other than the last one. - 0074b507, Jun 27, 2010

I'm sorry to contradict you, Gfreed, but "portátil" is a grave word. It ends in a consonant other than N or S and it carries its phonetic accent in the penultimate syllable. Therefore, it's grave and needs a tilde. - Lucho, Jun 28, 2010
