Computers can be classified in three main ways: by type, purpose, or size/capacity. By type includes digital, analogue, and hybrid computers. Digital computers are further broken down into desktops, laptops, mobile phones, tablets, and scientific calculators. Computers can also be classified by size as macro, mini, or micro. Macro computers are very expensive, generate a lot of heat, have large memory sizes, support multiple users and peripherals, and include supercomputers. Micro computers are small, used by one person, generate less heat, and are not expensive.

7. Micro computers
Characteristics:
 Small in size
 Used by one person
 Generate less heat
 Not expensive

8. Mini Computers
A mini computer is one whose
size, speed and capacity lies
between those of macro
computers and micro
computers
