Why are PCs and notebooks so different?

Why do notebooks differ so much from their performance even though they have almost identical hardware?

Why identical hardware? I think you mean that they used the same kind of components. It's mainly about the temperature. Theoretically, you could shower a laptop with high-end hardware, but the thing will melt away from under your feet

Identical hardware costs the same, but since desktops and laptops do not have identical hardware and everything is built particularly small for the laptop, there's of course the price difference…

Let me say, really identical hardware only differs in price - but not in performance…

And in the form in which they remove the waste heat from the device…

I asked the question stupidly. I don't mean why PCs and notebooks differ, but why, for example, two notebooks differ so much, despite similar parts

Because, for example, it costs differently to manufacture a processor that stands out in terms of performance, just like the other components. There's also competition among manufacturers, you want to reach different target groups, etc.

Oh well… Hmm, maybe it's the name… But I don't know…

I actually only buy my laptops from Dell when I need something for the office and from Schenker (Bestware) when I want Zokken - and there are no comparative types…

Almost identical hardware?

Graphics card (laptop):

Graphics card (PC):

The hardware is just pressed into a mini housing and adapted. That costs money. There's also a monitor included

I think there was another misunderstanding here. I wrote it in the supplement
