Is 노트북 only used for the computer notebook?

Question

Is 노트북 only used for the computer form of notebook, or do some use it for paper based notebooks? If so, is it considered Konglish?

Answer 1

Usually, Korean use "노트북 " as "laptop" in English. (considered as Konglish)

It's really rare that Korean say "노트북" for other objects besides laptop.

If you want to say "paper based notebooks" in Korean, you can just say "노트".

Hope this is helpful :)
