Property Description
These systems are quite limited in functionality and programmability,
and are not considered 'general purpose' computing platforms.
Alternately, an example of a mobile system that is 'general purpose'
(that is, is NOT dedicated) is a hand-held computer. Although limited
in its programmability, new software can be downloaded and its
functionality expanded by the user.
The management scope of a "Management Controller" is typically a
