Nomenclature:
  * First 2 (alpha) characters = Machine Type where:
    * PC = Standard PC (Full-size i.e. with [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ATX|ATX]] or [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MicroATX|MicroATX]] motherboard)
    * MP = Mini PC ([https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SFF/Small Form Factor]] e.g. with [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mini-ITX|mini-ITX]] or non-standard/proprietary motherboard smaller than above)
    * LT = Laptop
    * TL = Tablet Laptop (e.g. Microsoft Surface Pro & equivalents)
    * NB = [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netbook}Netbook]]
    * TC = [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thin_client|Thin Client]]
    * IN = [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Next_Unit_of_Computing|Intel NUC]](6)
    * NO = "NUC-Off" (Non-Intel UCFF PC (i.e. with [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nano-ITX|nano-ITX]] motherboard))(7)
    * SB = [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single-board_computer|Single Board Computer]] such as [[https://www.raspberrypi.com/|Raspberry Pi]], [[https://www.orangepi.com/|Orange Pi]], [[https://ameridroid.com/collections/odroid|Odroid]], etc.

    * OH=Other Hardware (e.g. the Sophos XG 125 that’s used for the router)
  * Next 2 digits = specific machine number
  * Last 2 digits = year of manufacture (XX if unknown)

Year of manufacture should give a rough idea of relative performance/robustness/suitability for a given application but clicking the link for any specific machine will bring up its page with full details of RAM, processor type, # of cores, and Passmark CPU benchmark score, along with other pertinent information.

**Example:  TC03-19** = Thin Client #3, manufactured in 2019
