Are all CPUs created equal?

[Thor]

I want to get rid of my Desktop Computer and replace it with something smaller.

Question is a laptop i7 the same as a Desktop i7?

Is a NUC i7 the same as a Desktop i7?

I am looking for a build that is this size or smaller:

http://www.wootware.co.za/lian-li-pc-q28-silver-mini-itx-chassis.html

The specifications I would like is:

32Gb DDR4 Ram - http://www.wootware.co.za/g-skill-f...gb-3466mhz-ddr4-cl16-1-2v-desktop-memory.html
512Gb SATA SSD (http://www.wootware.co.za/samsung-m...a-6gb-s-nand-flash-2-5-solid-state-drive.html) + 512GB NVME m.2 if possible (http://www.wootware.co.za/samsung-m...m-2-pci-express-3-0-x4-solid-state-drive.html)
Core i7 CPU
Graphics card capable of driving 2 x http://www.wootware.co.za/dell-p2715q-27-inch-ultra-hd-4k-3840x2160-ips-monitor.html

And then what is the difference between Micro-ATX and Mini-ITX ?

No.

Seriously, a quick google would have been less effort.

No, a laptop processor is designed to run in a smaller, quite compact, enclosed system wherein thermals/temperatures play a much greater role.

Wiki for sizes regard micro-ATX and mini-ITX: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_form_factor

@20K I might as well build my own I guess

I suppose there is a lot of engineering going into these little boxes, but yeah, 20k is a bit steep.
