In Brazil, the term 'computadores de mesa' is more colloquially used than the literal 'não portáteis' in casual conversation. In corporate and educational settings in both Brazil and Portugal, 'computadores não portáteis' or 'computadores de secretária' (Portuguese) are preferred for formal documentation. The distinction between portable and non-portable computers has become less sharp with the rise of tablets and mobile devices, but desktop computers remain standard in professional offices and gaming communities.
