    Is this a Laptop or Desktop?

    I am not sure what to call this. It was mixed in from an ewaste pick up I had yesterday. There were laptops, computers, monitors, TV's, satellite boxes, scanners, copiers and printers; 1980's to present. I'm not sure what to call this one though!

    Little big to sit on your lap! Also laptops most of the time have an attached keyboard. Also you can Google the name of the computer and boom!!! Google will bring up tons of info on it.

    Great observation. I had just figured it was one of those "point your finger and it types" sort of situations.

    I scrapped a quarter of a pallet of those in the past. The ones i had didn't have much, i received them from a school district, or hospital (not exactly sure). HD's were pulled (pretty standard) and it seemed like most of the processors were pulled as well. Definitely a let down when i got digging into them. I would call it a desktop.

    i have taken a few apart when you are done you will basicly have the guts from a desktop and a lcd monitor, usualy everything is integrated onto the mother board so no finger cards but should find everything else you would in a desktop

    So half of a desktop plus an lcd monitor. Looks like more plastic and less shred than a typical desktop.

    Older all-in-ones I would call a desktop. They had large motherboards and sometimes a builtin power supply.
    Newer all-in-ones are definately laptops. They have small motherboards(and crappy cpus) and almost always a powerbrick like a laptop.
