Different forms of servers?

The video provides some examples of forms of clients (e.g phones, tablets, computers).

Do servers also come in different forms too?

You can create servers in many ways, You can even configure your own laptop to act as a server, or assemble your PC and make it act as a server. There are also High computing power servers that we can see in data centers which are fixed in server racks and stacked together.

Haven't watched the video, but I believe some servers are used for different things or are setup differently.
