A computer that is likely to use SO-DIMMs, have an internal power supply, and use a desktop processor socket is typically a laptop. Laptops commonly use SO-DIMM (Small Outline Dual In-line Memory Module) RAM due to its smaller size compared to desktop DIMMs. While laptops usually have internal power supplies (batteries), some high-performance or gaming laptops may use desktop-class processor sockets to support more powerful CPUs

. To clarify:

  • SO-DIMMs are smaller RAM modules designed primarily for laptops and small form factor PCs, unlike the larger DIMMs used in desktops
  • An internal power supply in this context refers to the laptop's built-in battery and power management system, as opposed to desktop PCs which typically use external power bricks or larger internal power supplies like ATX PSUs.
  • The use of a desktop processor socket in a laptop is less common but can be found in some specialized or high-end laptops that utilize desktop CPUs for better performance.

Thus, a laptop that uses SO-DIMMs, has an internal power supply, and uses a desktop processor socket fits this description.
