Laptop 笔记本 (Bijiben) | YourMandarin

笔记 bǐjì – notes
本 běn – book; copy

笔记本 bǐjìběn – notebook; laptop

It’s a great word that can refer to both your paper notebook 📒📔, and a laptop – be it MiBook by Xiaomi, MacBook by Apple, MateBook by Huawei, etc etc – all of them can be called 笔记本 bǐjìběn 💻

(short from 笔记本电脑 bǐjìběn diànnǎo, “laptop computer”)

Try asking “Where is my laptop?”
