A '''mobile workstation''', also known as a '''desktop replacement computer''' ('''DTR''') or '''workstation laptop''', is a [[personal computer]] that provides the full capabilities of a [[workstation]]-class [[desktop computer]] while remaining [[Mobile computing|mobile]].  They are often larger, bulkier [[laptop]]s or in some cases [[2-in-1 PC]]s with a [[Tablet computer|tablet]]-like form factor and interface. Because of their increased size, this class of computer usually includes more powerful components and a larger display than generally used in smaller portable computers and can have a relatively limited battery capacity (or none at all). Some use a limited range of desktop components (DToM) to provide better performance at the expense of battery life. These are sometimes called '''desknotes''', a blend of "desktop" and "notebook", though the term is also applied to desktop replacement computers in general.<ref>[http://www.news.com/2100-1040-979763.html Desktop notebooks stake their claim] {{Webarchive|url=https://archive.today/20121209010744/http://www.news.com/2100-1040-979763.html |date=2012-12-09 }}, accessed April 2010</ref> Other names being monster notebooks or musclebooks in reference to muscle cars.<ref>{{Cite web|date=2009-03-03|title=Clevo D900F 17-inch Core i7 monster notebook|url=https://www.slashgear.com/clevo-d900f-17-inch-core-i7-monster-notebook-0336214/|access-date=2021-11-01|website=SlashGear|language=en-US}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|last=Waldock|first=Leo|title=Intel's new 9th Generation mobile 'musclebook' CPUs have been launched|url=https://www.redsharknews.com/technology-computing/item/6339-intel-s-new-9th-generation-mobile-musclebook-cpus-have-been-launched|access-date=2021-11-01|website=www.redsharknews.com|language=en}}</ref>
