[edit] Desknotes

Desknotes are crosses between desktop computers and notebook computers.^[1] A desknote is also referred to as a desknote computer.^[2] and is described as physically the size of a notebook computer but designed to function as a stationary unit as a desktop computer does. The description goes on to say the name comes from combining desktop with notebook.

The Free Dictionary describe a desknote computer^[3] as:

1) (DESKtop NOTEbook) A laptop computer that is as fully equipped as a desktop computer.

(2) (DESKtop NOTEbook) A fully-equipped laptop computer geared for stationary use. It can obviously be transported, but is heavier than one would care to lug around all day.

The Free Dictionary defines Desknotes^[4] as the following:

Desknotes are crosses between desktop computers and notebook computers, combining the main computer unit(i.e. motherboard, CPU, hard drive], external ports, etc.) with a liquid-crystal display. Subsequently such computers generally maintain a size similar to a large laptop computer. Though unlike a laptop computer, desknotes require an external keyboard and mouse. Though much less common, the term "desknote" has also been used to refer to so-called desktop-replacement laptops, which contain more advanced processors, graphic cards, and other components then standard notebooks (and as such are designed to replicate the performance of a mid-range desktop machine while still being portable.)

Laptop's definition, to quote the article: "A laptop computer or simply laptop (also notebook computer or notebook) is a small mobile personal computer . . ."
