How do you make laptop plural in spanish? Las laptopas -
las láptopas - las laptops- none of these sounds quite right!

In Argentina we use the English word. Plural would be same as English.

welcome to the forum. I had assumed Spanish people would add es for plural as it is easier to pronounce but looks like I am wrong - Mardle, Sep 15, 2017
When using English words, we usually use the English plurals as well--at least where I live. - Daniela2041, Sep 15, 2017

Welcome to the forum. I use the word portátil which is made plural by adding es.

You are using the English word which is probably used by some Spanish speakers and pronounced in a Spanish way. If I wanted to use it that way and talk about more than one, I would add es as Spanish speakers pronounce syllables individually.

There's la laptop singular but this sounds anglicize. Laptop in spanish is portatíl. Laptop computer can be said in two ways depending on the region. El ordenador portátil (Spain) & La computadora portátil (Latin America).
