So laptops are now edge devices?
2 comments

Doesn’t it just refer to the end user device as opposed to a server somewhere or a middle box?
Last time I looked for the definition, nobody can agree on whether client devices count as edge or not.
These don’t sit on the edge of the internet , and typically are not called edge devices.

It’s usually a more powerful device such as a router or mini server between LAN and internet.
