If you upgrade the motherboard, you can actually 3d print or buy a $60 case and use the old motherboard as a desktop.

Yup - as someone else pointed out I wasn't clear in what I said. If you buy a new mobo to upgrade your laptop, you wind up with an older mobo that sits there. You can then actually use the old mobo as a desktop computer as long as it has ram and an SSD. The form factor and IO were designed with this functionality in mind.
