I'm actually not really sure. I'd probably say that for app servers the HD size for laptops is greater than that for servers but that's my core problem with the comparison. Both servers and laptops vary wildly in HD sizes. Backblaze has hundreds of TB's in one box whereas my digital ocean VM is 20GB. < 100GB HD for laptops would be ludicrous but for servers you only want to allocate what you know you will use which for everything I've ever worked with can be done in under 20GB easy if not under 10GB.
If you aren't sure then you are saying that you don't understand the situation well enough to have a view.
You can reasonably ask that they state their assumptions or clarify their categories, but beyond that it seems to me that you just don't know enough to critique their illustration.
Um, I know what I'm saying. I'm saying that a Laptop HD to Server HD comparison is stupid. It is and I feel that I have more than enough knowledge to make that statement and stand but it. I'm unsure as to what I've said that makes you think that I don't know what I'm talking about. Their illustration is bad and I called that out. I stand by that and if people want to call it pedantic then that's their right.
What I DO know is that it is 100% IMPOSSIBLE for ANYONE to calculate the median HD size for laptops vs servers. There simply DOES NOT exist the data needed to do the calculations. Period. Not sure how not knowing an impossible to know stat somehow makes me unqualified to discuss this topic. Using your logic I'm expecting a response with the median sizes as you must possess this knowledge or else you wouldn't have commented given your statement.
