Classification of Computers
Computers can be classified based on size, cost, storage
capacity, speed and nature of operations they can perform.
1. Microcomputers (Personal Computer)
A microcomputer is the smallest general purpose processing system.
The older PCs started with 8-bit processor with speed of 3.7MB.
The current PCs have 64-bit processor with speed of 4.66 GB.
Examples: IBM PCs, APPLE Computers
The different types of computer are:

b. Laptop: It is similar to a desktop
which can be placed on your lap
a. Desktop Computer : which
can be placed on a desk
c. Palmtop (Hand-held): which can be
placed on your palm
TIP : Both Laptops and Palmtops can be
carried around while travelling

2. Mini Computer: A minicomputer is a
medium-sized computer that is more
powerful than a microcomputer. These
computers are usually designed to serve
multiple users simultaneously (Parallel
Processing). They are more expensive than
microcomputers. Examples: Digital Alpha,
Sun Ultra.
Mainframe Computers

3. Mainframe Computer: Mainframe
Computers are more powerful and costlier
than minicomputers. These computers
operate at very high speeds, have very
large storage capacities and can support
hundreds of users. These computers
consume more electricity. They are used by
large scale organizations.

29. 29 - Session -1
4. Super Computer: Supercomputers are very huge and
they can be as big as a room. They are also the fastest and
costliest computers. They are used in fields like scientific
research and defense. These computers are used in rocket
launches, aircraft , and weather forecasting.
