Question 1

Can this be installed in a laptop or is this just for desktop (First time builder)?

Accepted Answer

Desktop only.  Would suggest the regular K or even KF instead of KS.  KF is the same as the K line but lacks an inbuilt gpu which shouldn't be a problem if you have a dedicated GPU installed.  KS runs hotter with minimal improvements overall over the K/KF line.

Good luck on your build!
