A desktop and a laptop or handheld with a dock are different things.

You first said a "Desktop" is only a tower PC or rather a Desktop PC that sits at the desk. But then you gave a scenario where you complained that a Desktop mode didn't work.

You do notice that Desktop Metaphor and Desktop PC are two entirely different things. Generally clients can be referred as Desktop to make things easy.

A Laptop and Handheld can be described as Desktops too.
