I think you'd be better off learning more about computer hardware. Once you realize how different kinds of machines work you quickly realize they're all basically the same thing, tailored for specific uses. Software-wise, it's just a matter of what's running on the hardware.

You mean a laptop, which can be turned into a server, is the same as a smart phone ??

It can be, if software is written to be compatible with both. A ‘server’ is just a computer of some sort running a piece of software at the end of the day.
