    Is not that uncommon usually mobile processors are much more expensive thats why many companies offer a cheaper model with desktop processors and more expensive models with laptop processors.

    Desktop processors = more power and less price, but more heat and less batery.
    Laptop processor = less power and higher price, but less heat and more battery.

    Desktop replacement laptops are usually infact more expensive, because of the higher quality of the components inside, and also because it is very difficult to design an efficient chassis with an efficient cooling method that caters for a desktop CPU, and perhaps, other, more powerful components.
