Personal computer (PC) is
as part of an information
system.
Software
- system software
- application software
System software
Enables the application
software to interact with the
computer hardware
System software is
“background” software that
helps the computer manage
its own internal resources
System software include:
1. Operating systems : programs that coordinate
computer resources, provide an interface between users
and the computer, and run applications.
• Smartphones, tablets, and many other mobile devices
use embedded operating systems, also known as real-
time operating systems (RTOS).
• Desktop computers use standalone Operating systems
like Windows 10 or macOS.
• Networks use network operating systems (NOS)
2. Utilities perform: specific tasks related to
managing computer resources.
• One of the most essential utility programs that
every computer system should have is an
antivirus program.
• These programs protect your computer system
from viruses or malicious programs that are all
too often deposited onto your computer from the
Internet.
Application Software
• 1. General-purpose applications
• 2. Specialized applications
Programs that are more narrowly Focused on
specific disciplines and occupations.
Example: graphics and web authoring programs.
3. Mobile apps, also known
as mobile applications
5 Types of computers
1. Supercomputers :
• The most powerful type of computer.
• These machines are special, high-capacity
computers used by very large
organizations.
• Supercomputers typically used to process
massive amounts of data
2. Mainframe computers:
• Occupy specially wired, air-
conditioned rooms
• Although not nearly as powerful
as supercomputers, mainframe
computers are capable ofgreat
processing speeds and data
storage.
• For example, insurance
companies use mainframes to
process information about
millions of policyholders.
3. Midrange computers:
• Also referred to as servers
• Computers with processing capabilities less
powerful than a mainframe computer yet
more powerful than a personal computer.
• Originally used by medium-size companies
or departments of large companies to
support their processing needs,
• Today midrange computers are most widely
used to support or serve end users for such
specific needs as retrieving Data from a
database or supplying access to application
software
4. Personal computers, also known as PCs
• Most widely used and
fastest-growing type of
computer.
• 5 types of PC : desktops,
laptops or notebook,
tablets, smartphones, and
wearables
• Tablet computers:
- Smaller, lighter, and generally less powerful than
laptops.
- Have a flat screen but typically do not have a standard
keyboard
- Use a virtual keyboard that appears on the screen and
is touch-sensitive.
• Smartphones or Cellphones: cell phones with wireless
connections to the Internet and processing capabilities
• Wearable devices : mobile computers include like
Apple’s Watch.
Personal computer hardware
System unit:
• Container that houses most of
the electronic components that
make up a computer system.
• Two important components of
the system unit are
microprocessors (controls and
manipulates data to produce
information) and memory
(ROM, RAM)
Input/output
