I think they mean functionally.

I know everytime I've had to do extended work in desktop mode I've had to use a USB mouse and keyboard. Obviously, it's a handheld PC, but it's not really designed to replace your laptop.

You could use it as a desktop computer with a dock though, I suppose.

Companies making similar products seem to be aiming for this use case (for example, the GPD Win 4 has an optional dock, and can connect to an external GPU (they even sell one) through its USB 4 port).
