desktop computing
Non-portable PC work
Desktop computing is the use of a personal computer designed to sit on or under a desk, as opposed to portable devices like laptops or tablets.
The term emerged as computers diversified—once all personal computing was desktop computing, but now the modifier distinguishes stationary workstations from mobile alternatives.
Desktop systems typically offer more power, expandability, and ergonomic screen sizes than their portable counterparts.
