What is this sorcery? [Laptop with desktop's CPU inside]

[blasc]

In a recent question someone from a small forum asked, regarding laptops, left me quite astonished...

The guy asked if the laptop was a good "bang for buck" one, and when I started to look into the details to help him, I saw this:

H170 and Z97 chipsets on a laptop?????

At first I thought it was fake or some kind of prank, since there is not that much information on the web regarding the use of desktop CPUs on laptops.... But since the brand (Insys) and the store are well known to the public, I had to admit that it was a lack of knowledge on my part....


Now, regarding practical use of the laptop, is this even a good idea to buy?? I mean, heat dissipation, power consumption, among other theoretical problems it may have...

I would like some input and further knowledge on this, since it is the first time I see such a thing (without special dissipation hardware and batteries) and your ideas on the matter guys. Like I said before, couldn't find much info on the subject around the web.

Ya it isn't unheard of. They are typically found on "desktop replacement" type laptops. That are less concerned with portability and battery life. They also tend to be larger heavier and have poorer battery life but do have better performance so long as the cooling system keeps up.

They aren't typically worth it unless you just absolutley must have the most CPU possible and still need a laptop of sorts.

gaming laptops tend to have desktop grade hardware too
