Types
of Computers
There are a lot of terms use to define
computers. Most of these words imply the size, expect use or capability of the
computer. While the term compute can apply to virtually any device that has a
microprocessor in it, most people think of a computer as a device that receives
input from the user through a mouse or keyboard, Computers can be refer into five type to the
purpose to use for their capabilities. The first is about Pc second general
information about pc the third server in computer the fourth is network the
fifth is CODE
Thesis.
The most familiar type of microprocessor is the personal computer
(PC). It design for general use by a single person. While a Mac is also a PC,
most people relate the term with systems that run the Windows operating system.
PCs were first known as microcomputers because they were a complete computer
but built on a smaller scale than the huge systems in use by most businesses. A
PC can come in two types (three if we include the Personal Digital Assistants
(PDAs) that differ from PCs not by the working policy but in appearance as
well.): Desktop and laptop. The former is not design for portability.

The former is not design for portability. The expectation with desktop systems
is that you will set the computer up in a permanent location. Most desktops
offer more power, storage and versatility for less cost than their portable
brethren. On the other hand, the laptops also called notebooks are portable
computers that integrate the display, keyboard, a pointing device or trackball,
processor, memory and hard drive all in a battery operated package slightly
larger than an average hardcover book. Another purpose for using a
microprocessor is as a workstation. The computers used for this purpose have a
more powerful processor, additional memory and enhanced capabilities for
performing a special group of task, such as 3D Graphics or game development.
Topic Sentence
A fourth type, a main frame is the heart of a network of computers
or terminals which allows hundreds of people to work at the same time on the
same data. It is indispensable for the business world. A computer network is a
relationship between two nodes (usually a computer) or more whose main purpose
is to exchange data. Abdul Kadil (2003) These machines are huge both in size
and in capacity. Generally they are kept in a separate room where nobody can
reach since their breakdown can cause a fortune to the company.
Sometimes, computers can be used for specialized fields as well.
The supercomputer is the top of the heap in power and expense. It is used for
jobs that take massive amounts of calculating, like weather forecasting,
engineering design and testing, serious decryption, and economic forecasting.
