  But probably not as powerful as an equivalent desktop PC.

  I haven't really followed CPU design all that much, but I have the notion
that laptops use special versions of desktop CPUs which consume less power
and need less ventilation (because that's kind of mandatory in a laptop)
at the cost of being less efficient than the desktop counterpart of the
same CPU.

  Of course that doesn't mean that the fastest laptop CPU today isn't faster
than the fastest desktop CPU of 5 years ago.
