How this list was compiled: Every label and every other word named here was read on 2026-10-03 in two dictionaries, one entry at a time: the Spanish-English dictionary of WordReference (https://www.wordreference.com/es/en/translation.asp?spen= followed by the word) and SpanishDict (https://www.spanishdict.com/translate/ followed by the word). Both give the gender and the computing meaning of computadora (feminine, marked as Latin American), ordenador (masculine, marked as the word of Spain), monitor (masculine), pantalla (feminine: screen, display), teclado (masculine), ratón (masculine: the animal and the pointing device), altavoz (masculine: speaker), parlante (masculine: speaker, in South and Central America), impresora (feminine), computadora portátil (feminine: laptop), portátil (as a noun: laptop) and cable (masculine). El mouse for the pointing device was read in the English entry mouse of both (https://www.wordreference.com/es/translation.asp?tranword=mouse and https://www.spanishdict.com/translate/mouse). The wording of every line is our own. Licence: own work
