What does "a computer" refer to in this context? [CSS — Styling the Web - Styling boxes]

I’m not quite sure what “a computer” is referring to here. When people say a computer, it literally means a huge one that are in a lab or server center, I guess. But “a computer” here is followed by “tablet/other devices”, so I translated it into “laptop” in Japanese. Does that seem correct in this context?

Note: If you are working on a computer/tablet/other device where you don’t have the ability to create your own files, you could try out (most of) the code examples in an online coding program such as JSBin or Thimble

Hi Fumiya,

Computer here refers to either a desktop computer (the huge stationary one, but not necessarily sitting in a lab or server center, could be at a home or office too) or a laptop computer. So the note just refers to any kind of computer/device the user is using.
