In the CI tables where should desktops, laptops and tables be stored, cmdb_ci_computer or cmdb_ci_pc_hardware?

[David77]

We've been storing our desktops, laptops and tables in what I'm guessing is the base table cmdb_ci_computer but it appears we should be putting them in cmdb_ci_pc_hardware, is that correct?

As an aside, I still don't understand the relationship between  cmdb_categories and cmdb_model_category 

Thanks!

Yes, it is that simple. The "Configuration > Base Items > Workstations" navigator module already accomplishes this for you.

As a note, if you are talking about tablets like Android and iPad I would suggest taking a look at Communication Device [cmdb_ci_comm]. This is traditionally used for mobile phones, but there's honestly not much difference between an iPhone and an iPad these days.
