Laptop and notebook comes to mind. Maybe English does have this mechanism but to a less extent? Interesting enough, Portuguese also does compounding to some extent (Bear in mind it's a romance language). My favorite English feature is how you can pick a substantive and use it as a verb. Mostly makes sense, specially if there's evident connotation behind the substantive.
