desk top cpu is basically a smaller size tower that sits on it side.
So instead of a stand up tower, this one is designed to lay on it side. a laptop is well, a laptop :)
laptops are much smaller and portable, desktops are not portable.

Laptop CPU's are designed to use lower power to save battery time. They may have a more complicated sleep mode than desktop and may run on lower voltage (like 2.5 volts instead of 5)

They are almost exactly the same. In laptops, they usually use less power (unless you have a very high-end laptop). Otherwise, many have the exact same CPUs as desktops do.

Laptops are portable where as desk tops are set in one place.
