The "A" type are basically rectangles. About 1/8" high, 1" long.
The "B" type look like a house if you look at the end of it. If the 2 corners weren't "clipped" it would be square - about 1/4" on the sides.
There are literally dozens of to spec usb types, but as far as any computer goes, desktop, laptop, etc, ALL have A connectors on them, your device could use anything, and usually comes with the correct A to whatever USB cable.
Some laptops have firewire and even SATA connectors now, Firewire is great if your into high end video equipment, or fast external harddrives, SATA is a new spec for harddrives.
