This question is an inventory of your school's computers and where they are.  We would like you to count the number of computers used by students or teachers by type of computer for each of three locations: "labs", "classrooms", and "other places".     You may use one row to inventory all the computers in that type of room (e.g., labs) or combine several rooms on one row, or use each row for a different room.  Your choice.  Include both desktop and laptop computers, but only those used by students and teachers to do instructional work.  DO NOT include either administrative computers or servers identified in the previous question.
