"no they are not a computer can not be moved from one spot but a laptop can"
(Referring to the answer above my answer) That's incorrect. A computer refers to a programmable machine, which is "designed to sequentially and automatically carry out a sequence of arithmetic or logical operations." (Quote from Wikipedia). A laptop does just that, so therefore it is a computer. What you are thinking of is a desktop computer, which, hence the name, remains on a desk/remains stationary. Technically you can move a desktop computer from one spot to another, it's just a little more difficult than moving a laptop. Desktop computers and laptops are two different "types" of computer.
