There is a little information on the common types here, too:

Still you have the choice to use MBR partitioning if this is
a requirement (maybe due to hardware that has problems booting
GPT partitioned media? who knows).
Some BIOS systems think GPT partitions mean the system is running UEFI.
On those system, MBR is required to boot correctly. I think this is
still a problem with the Thinkpad T4xx and T5xx models, possibly others.
