Is laptop An application of embedded system?
Laptops and general-purpose CPU’s are not considered to be embedded computers for several reasons. Second, while an embedded computer is designed to perform a specific task, a laptop is capable of running and downloading various programs, software, and computations simultaneously.
Do phones use embedded systems?
Of course, smartphones don’t fit into the general computing category because they are still highly specialized units. So both smartphones and tablets violate the use definition of an embedded system. But they’re also not general-purpose computers.
Does a smartphone have an embedded system?
Contrast with general-purpose computer. Smartphones and tablet computers–like the Apple (Nasdaq:AAPL) iPhone and iPad, as well as the many Android-powered devices–clearly lie somewhere between embedded system and general purpose computer.
What are the application of embedded system?
The applications of embedded systems include home appliances, office automation, security, telecommunication, instrumentation, entertainment, aerospace, banking and finance, automobiles personal and in different embedded systems projects.
Which of the following is an example of an embedded application?

Is a mobile phone an embedded system or a smart phone?
A first generation digital mobile phone, is probably certainly an embedded system while more modern feature and smart phones however are somehow different. They can run apps chosen and installed by end-users allowing them to perform tasks not determined by the manufacturer.
Is a laptop considered an embedded system?
Not in my opinion. First of all, a laptop is not really any different than a desktop computer that one can carry around with them, and a desktop PC is certainly not an embedded system. An embedded system is a computer system with a dedicated function within a larger mechanical or electrical system, often with real-time constraints.
What is the difference between embedded system and general purpose system?
A definition that may help to get the difference. An embedded system can be considered as a system with which another embedded system cannot be developed. So presently, using a mobile phone, one cannot develop an ’embedded system’. If it is possible by the mobile device, then it should be considered as a general purpose system.
