They all handle the same data, ever thing that is digital handles the same data, it is all binary.

They way to define a different type of computer is what it does and how it looks.

(Personal use systems (systems where you are the only person who is able to access it at any one time (unless software allows remote connection)).

Laptops - Typically 13 inch to 15 inch screens. Screen is built in and is able to be folded.

Netbook/Ultrabook - Typically 7 inch to 10 inch screens. Screen is built in and is able to be folded.

All-in-one - It appears to be just a screen, but is similar to a Laptop in terms of performance but is not able to be folded and is less portable.

Desktop - This is a 'box' that houses all the parts for a computer, it is able to be the most powerful of all the above systems and is the most customisable.

(Rarely used at home, lots of business use)

Work Station - This is much like a Desktop (as it looks the same) but it uses virtual software, so you will be connected to a server (look bellow this) which has all the software the workstation is using and all the data.

Server - this is often where all data from a company is stored, they handle a lot of possess from externally from the company or internally. They are often stacked on top of each other in what is called a server tower (the most recognisable thing about a server as you see them in films a lot). But servers can be 'boxes' like desktop, but will be much larger. Many server motherboards (or mainboards) have room for 2 CPUs (where as all other systems have 1 CPU) and have room for 6 slots of RAM (where as laptops often have room for 2, and desktops have room for 4 sticks of RAM).

What is the Flynn classification?

The Flynn classification is a system used to categorize computer architectures based on the number of concurrent instruction streams and data streams they can handle. It includes four main categories: Single Instruction Single Data (SISD), Single Instruction Multiple Data (SIMD), Multiple Instruction Single Data (MISD), and Multiple Instruction Multiple Data (MIMD). This framework helps to analyze and design parallel computing systems by highlighting different processing capabilities. It is named after Michael J. Flynn, who introduced the classification in 1966.

What is computer spillage?

Spillage is when information classified at a higher level is introduced to a computer classified at a lower level. In practice it includes any instance where such information MAY have been introduced. As an example: a laptop computer that is normally connected to a lower classification level network is connected to a higher level network in an attempt to check email. It is unknown if any higher classification data was transferred during the connection. The incident is treated as potential spillage and the hard drive of the computer is now considered classified.
