ノートパソコンって英語でなんて言うの？

こんにちは。

「ノートパソコン」は英語で laptop (computer) と言います。computer は言っても言わなくてもいいですが、日常会話では laptop とだけ言うことが多いと思います。

【例】
I bought a new laptop.
「新しいノートパソコンを買ったんだ」

ぜひ参考にしてください。

ノートパソコン、カタカナだし、英語かと思いますよね。
残念ながら、和製英語です。
パソコンは、「personal computer」 を省略したものです。
英語だと、頭文字をとって「PC」と呼ぶことも多いです。

そして、ご質問のノートパソコンについては、膝の上に乗せて使うということから、「laptop」 と呼びます。

膝より上の太ももの部分が 「lap」 だから 「laptop」
机の上で使うパソコンが 「desktop」 なので、同じ考え方のネーミングです。

参考にしていただければ幸いです。

A laptop is a small computer that is portable. They have become very popular in the last decade or two for personal use. Before this, they were common but only for business people. They are very convenient and they can be taken with you when you travel. This is the advantage they have over regular desktop computers.
They are also called notebooks. The slightly resemble notebooks, because with a notebook you can fold it closed, much like a laptop so this is where the name came from.

"I need to buy a laptop. It is better for me to use than this PC which is too big and I can't carry it around with me!"

"I love my new notebook. It's so small and I can carry it around with me if I need to work and travel"

If you are wondering what a small portable computer can be called, you can call it a "laptop". A laptop is the smaller thinner and lighter version of a computer and is portable and easy to bring around. You can use it in a sentence and say "I always bring my laptop to work with me.".
