Explanation:
You can also say "computadora u ordenador independiente". You can even say "PC sin conexión de red". Do not worry about the "desktop" part, as it is implicit. Other kinds of computers usually HAVE an adjective, like "computadora portátil", for laptop computer, or "servidor", for server.
