In Brazilian Portuguese, the English word 'notebook' has been largely adopted in everyday speech and is often preferred over the Portuguese translation 'computador portátil'. This reflects Brazil's technology adoption and the influence of English in tech terminology. In Portugal, while 'computador portátil' is the formal term, 'notebook' is also used, particularly among younger users and in tech communities. In the United States, 'laptop' is the standard term, though 'notebook' was used more frequently in the 1990s-2000s.
