As far as I can tell, the DeskNote is not a category of PC, but a specific laptop made by ECS. The article seems to waver between calling it a "desknote" (lowercase), similar to a "laptop" or "desktop", and calling it by its trademark name, DeskNote. Is this actually the case? If so, the term shouldn't be used in the more general sense of referring to "desknote computers." -- Wapcaplet 23:52 18 Jul 2003 (UTC)
- The term is actually "desktop replacement". I'm going to be bold and change the title (and content) accordingly, for three reasons:
- Desknote is not nearly as common a term as "Desktop Replacement", and the two are essentially synonymous. Google returns three times as many hits for the latter as for the former.
- This article seems pretty uncertain on what, exactly, constitutes a "desknote" - does the iMac even count? I thought they had to be similar in form to a laptop, in which case a better example would be the 17" MacBook Pro, or any other 17"+ laptop.
- "Desktop Replacement Computer" is a far more common term, but currently has no article. I'll redirect from here to Desktop replacement computer.
Hope this isn't too much of an issue. RandyWang 13:38, 6 May 2006 (UTC)
Desknotes is listed under Laptop
So are Desktop replacements which seem to be described somewhat differently than in this Desktop replacement computer article.
I don't know who is right but there seems to be consider confusion and overlapping articles on this subject. Desktop replacement computers appears to be an orphaned article. (I am new here and may not know what I am talking about.)

Of course, if this doesn't work out, we may need to create separate articles for each. Perhaps we should add a "Desknote" section to this page, in the meantime? RandyWang (/rants) 00:28, 8 May 2006 (UTC)
