TYPES OF COMPUTER

Desktop computers are


designed to be placed on
a desk, and they’re
typically made up of a
few different parts,
including the computer
case, monitor, keyboard,
and mouse.
Laptop computers
are battery-powered
computers that are
more portable than
desktops, allowing you
to use them almost
anywhere.
Tablet computers or
tablets are handheld
computers that are even
more portable than
laptops. Instead of a
keyboard and mouse,
tablets use a touch-
sensitive screen for
typing and navigation
•A server is a computer that
serves up information to other
computers on a network. For
example, whenever you use
the Internet, you're looking at
something that's stored on a
server. Many businesses also
use local file servers to store
and share files internally.
OTHER TYPES OF COMPUTERS

Smartphones: These
are cell phones that
can do a lot of things
computers can do,
including browsing
the Internet and
playing games.
Wearables: Wearable technology is a general term
for a group of devices—including fitness trackers and
smartwatches—that are designed to be worn
throughout the day.
Game consoles: A game console is a specialized
type of computer that is used for playing video games
on your TV.
TVs: Many TVs now
include applications—or
apps—that let you access
various types of online
content. For example, you
can stream video from the
Internet directly onto your
TV.
Personal Computers

This type of computer began


with the original IBM PC that
was introduced in 1981. Other
companies began creating
similar computers, which were
called IBM PC Compatible (often
shortened to PC). Today, this is
the most common type of
personal computer, and it
typically includes the Microsoft
Windows operating system.
MACs
The Macintosh computer was
introduced in 1984, and it was
the first widely sold personal
computer with a graphical
user interface, or GUI
(pronounced gooey). All Macs
are made by one company
(Apple), and they almost
always use the Mac OS X
operating system.
Direction: Copy in your notebook and complete the
diagram below to concretize your learnings about the
introduction of computer.
REMEMBER

A computer is an electronic device that receives


information and data, automatically stores it and
retrieves it at any time, and uses it in a useful manner.
The computer converts different types of numbers and
solves intractable mathematical equations very quickly
and with high accuracy. That is why we need a clean
PC build.
REMEMBER

A computer is a vital tool for accessing and


processing information and data, as it is the first
window to access the Internet.
