TYPES OF
COMPUTERS
Supercomput
er
• High-performance computing
systems designed for complex
calculations
• Capable of performing billions of
calculations per second
• Used for climate modeling,
scientific
simulations, large-scale
data analysis
Microcomput
er
• Small, affordable computers used
for general-purpose tasks
• Typically include a single
microprossesor
• Used for office work, personal
productivity, basic applications
• example: home computers
Minicomputer
• Mid-sized computers designed for
multiple users
• more powerful than
microcomputers but less than
supercomputers
• Used for business applications,
mid-level data processing
• example: digital equipment
corporation (DEC) PDP-11
Personal computer
(PC)
• Computers designed for
individual use
• Includes both hardware (CPU,
memory) and software (OS,
applications)
• Used for personal prodcutivity,
entertainment. internet browsing
• example: desktop and tower PCs
Laptop
• Portable computers with built-in
screen and keyboard
• Compact, mobile, includes
battery for portabiltiy
• Used for personal and
professional work on-the-go
• example: Macbook, Dell XPS
Tablet
• Portable, touch-screen devices
with limited computing power
• Lighweight, intuitive touch
interface, highly portable
• Used for media consumption,
light productivity, browsing
• example: iPad, samsung galaxy
tab
Summary
Computers are classified based on
their purpose and use.
Supercomputers handle complex
simulations and research tasks.
Mainframes process large-scale data
for big organizations. Minicomputers
serve smaller organizations with
specialized tasks. Personal
Computers (PCs) are for everyday
activities. Laptops are for technical
tasks like 3D rendering. Tablets are in
devices like cars and appliances.
