/Sounds like "pohr" (as in "port") + "TAH" (as in "tar") + "teel" (as in "tea")/
A laptop in Spain and Colombia. While most of Latin America says "laptop," Spaniards and Colombians say portátil for any portable computer. The word perfectly captures the remote-work era: grab your portátil and work from any café with decent wifi.
“I left my laptop at the office and now I can't work from home.”
“I work from my laptop at any café with a good connection.”
