Whats the difference between a desktop replacement laptop (DTR) and a standard laptop?
DTRs are somewhat larger versions of the typical laptop due to the incorporation of more powerful components. While the larger size means they can dissipate heat better than a standard laptop, DTRs still can not use the more high-end desktop components, so they are still not as powerful as a standard PC-style desktop. Both DTRs and laptops rarely incorporate PCI expansion cards, and they use many proprietary components, which severely limits expandability and upgradability.
