  I mean can’t you just plug it into a monitor and then use it as a desktop?

    Yup - as someone else pointed out I wasn’t clear in what I said. If you buy a new mobo to upgrade your laptop, you wind up with an older mobo that sits there. You can then actually use the old mobo as a desktop computer as long as it has ram and an SSD.
