desktops also support ACPI, its very handy as you can have features like 
suspend to HDD, ie the entire OS state and memory is written to a swap 
partition and the machine is put off. Then next time when you boot up, the 
entire snapshot of your OS at that time is loaded in to ram and run, this 
means that it will be a very fast start and you will have all your 
applications running when the OS boots up.

This feature is called hibernation in microsoft windows IIRC.
