@pt10961 Of course. Desktops don't come with a video display. That's an additional cost option. They also don't come with a keyboard and mouse - only with USB ports to attach such things that may or may not be in the package. And they don't come with power. You have to supply that. Also, Desktops generally don't connect to wireless networks out of the box - though some do. Generally you have to tether a desktop to some sort of wired network connection, a monitor, mouse and keyboard, and apply power before it will do anything useful at all. Until then it's just another brick.
And after that you can't move it to where you need it to be, because it's got dangly bits. It's fine for a static shared workstation, where anybody can sit in a vacant cube and use it - but that's not personal. It's completely inferior to a real Personal Computer, which goes with the person to where he need to compute. Concur. The Desktop is not a PC.
