desktop replacement

Luggable full-power laptop

A desktop replacement is a laptop computer powerful and large enough to serve as someone's primary machine, substituting for a traditional desktop setup.

These laptops typically have larger screens, full-sized keyboards, and robust processors, trading portability for performance: I don't travel much, so I got a desktop replacement instead of an ultrabook.
