individual use. Personal computers are intended to be
operated directly by an end user, rather than by a computer
expert or technician.
4. A workstation is a special computer designed for technical
or scientific applications. Intended primarily to be used by

6. Mainframes are a type of computer that
generally are known for their large size,
amount of storage, processing power and
high level of reliability. They are primarily
used by large organizations for mission-
critical applications requiring high volumes
of data processing. In general,
7. A supercomputer is a computer with a high level of performance
as compared to a general-purpose computer. The performance of
a supercomputer is commonly measured in floating-point
operations per second (FLOPS) instead of million instructions
per second (MIPS). Since 2017,
