stacjonowy

Stacjonowy is a Polish adjective that translates to "stationary," "desk," or "desktop" in English, depending on the context. It generally describes something that is fixed in place, not mobile, or designed for use at a specific location rather than for portability.

In the context of computers, stacjonowy refers to a desktop computer, as opposed to a laptop or portable device. A stacjonowy computer typically consists of a separate monitor, keyboard, and mouse, along with a central processing unit (CPU) housed in a tower or case. These computers are generally more powerful and upgradable than their portable counterparts.

The term can also be used in other contexts. For example, a "telefon stacjonarny" is a landline telephone, connected by a wire to the telephone network, and not a mobile phone. Similarly, "związek stacjonarny" might refer to a stable, long-term relationship that is not characterized by frequent movement or change. The core meaning remains a sense of being settled, fixed, or designated for a particular place.
