    I mean can’t you just plug it into a monitor and then use it as a desktop?

      Yup - as someone else pointed out I wasn’t clear in what I said. If you buy a new mobo to upgrade your laptop, you wind up with an older mobo that sits there. You can then actually use the old mobo as a desktop computer as long as it has ram and an SSD. The form factor and IO were designed with this functionality in mind.

      Yes, the point they’re making is that if you upgrade the laptop components, you can use the old components as another PC
