What is the best practice to store different device types in the CMDB Computer table?

Hello experts,

I would like to raise the question regarding what is the best practice to store different device types in the CMDB Computer table.

For example, in the following image, I have the Computers list. However, the problem is that I can not identify the device type, e.g., which record is a laptop, which a desktop, and so on.

Is there any OOTB field that I can use to store this information (i.e., device type - laptop, desktop, etc.) in the Computers table?
What's the best practice for this requirement according to your knowledge and past experience?

Thank you in advance,
Smith.
