To type the letter "ñ" on a laptop, you have several options depending on your operating system and keyboard: For Windows laptops:

• If your laptop has a numeric keypad, enable Num Lock, then hold down the Alt key and type 164 for lowercase ñ or 165 for uppercase Ñ on the numeric keypad

• If you don't have a numeric keypad, you can use the on-screen keyboard with a numeric keypad enabled (Windows key + Ctrl + O to open it), then use Alt + 164 or 165 on the on-screen keypad

• In Microsoft Word, type "n0303" then press Alt + X to get ñ; for uppercase, type "N0303" then Alt + X. Alternatively, use Ctrl + Shift + ~ then n for ñ, or Ctrl + Shift + ~ then Shift + N for Ñ

• You can also open the Character Map application in Windows, find the ñ character, copy it, and paste it where needed

For Mac laptops:

• Simply press and hold the "n" key until a small popup appears, then select ñ by clicking it or pressing the corresponding number (usually 1)

• Alternatively, hold Option + n, then press n again for ñ; hold Option + n, then Shift + n for Ñ

Additional tips:

• On Windows, if you want to type ñ without using Alt codes or changing keyboard layouts, there is no simpler built-in shortcut; Alt + 164 remains the standard method

• On Linux, you can press Ctrl + Shift + U, then type 00f1 for ñ or 00d1 for Ñ, then press space

These methods cover most laptops and operating systems for typing the letter ñ easily
