Classification of computers (- Minicomputers) (Microcomputers)Maryam Fida
Classification of computers]
Computers that process analog data are called analog computers. (Analog data is continuous)
The input data is not a number infect a physical quantity like temperature, pressure, speed, velocity.
Computers that accept analog input and provide analog output.
Deal with variables.
It is used for measuring physical quantities.
Special purpose computers.
Computers that accepts digital input and provide
digital output.
The input data is represented by a number (Binary Number System).
These are used for the logical and arithmetic operations.
Measure digital quantities.
Microcomputers are more commonly known as personal computers. The term "PC" is applied to IBM-PCs or compatible computers.
Full-size desktop computers are the most common type of PC.
Notebook (laptop) computers are used by people who need the power of a desktop system, but also portability.
Handheld PCs (such as PDAs, IPADs) lack the power of a desktop or notebook PC, but offer features for users who need limited functions and small size.

Minicomputers are smaller than mainframes but larger than personal computers.
Also called midrange computers.
Powerful Minicomputers usually entertain input output need of hundred of user at a time.
Example HP 3000
Minicomputers may be used as network servers and Internet servers.

Microcomputers, commonly known as PCs, they are very small and cheap. The first microcomputer was designed by IBM, it was designed in 1981 and was named IBM-PC. Later, many computer hardware companies copied it and termed their microcomputers as PC-compatible, which means to any PC that is based on the original IBM PC design.
Another type of popular PC is designed by Apple. PCs made by IBM and other PC-compatible computers have a different designing as compared to Apple computers.
Moreover, PCs and PC-compatible computers commonly use the Windows operating system, while Apple computer use the Macintosh operating system (MacOS). However, IBM and IBM-compatible PCs are more popular than Apple PC. These microcomputers can be classified into the following categories
Desktop PC is one of the most popular models of PCs. The desktop PC can be placed on a desk or table. It is widely used in homes and offices. It has physical hardware that makes computer to run and connects to input devices such as keyboard and mouse users interact with. Desktop PCs are mostly used in enterprise, as well as in consumer use cases such as gaming. In the enterprise they are important because they are the main means for many users to do their work. Desktop PC contains Motherboard, Processor, storage devises etc inside it.
Laptops are small microcomputers that can easily fit inside a bag. They are very handy and can easily be carried from one place to another. Hence, laptops are very useful, especially for going on long journeys. Laptops works on a special battery and do not always have to be plugged in like desktop computers. The memory and storage capacity of a laptop is almost equal to that of a desktop computer. As with desktop computers, laptops also have HDDs, floppy disk drives, zip disk drives, etc. For input, laptops have a built-in keyboard and a trackball/touchpad, which is used as a pointing device (as a mouse is used for a desktop PC). But laptops have the same features and processing power and speed as the most powerful PCs. However, there is a problem that laptops are generally more expensive than desktop computers.

Netbook PC also known as Handheld Computers, In the mid 1990s a wide range of small personal computing devices these are commonly known as handheld computers, Palmtop computers, or Mini-Notebook computers. These computers are called Netbook computers because they can fit in one hand like book, while users can use the other hand to operate them. these computers are very small in size, and hence easy to use
Tablet PC is same as notebook computer and can be operated with one hand, but it can be used by input from a Stylus pen or by directly your fingers instead of the keyboard, mouse. It is a portable computer and user can use it anywhere. Tablet Computer are the new generation of PCs:
Hello Friends this is my first ppt on slide share . This ppt is all about types of computer. You can make some changes in it if you want otherwise it is superb ppt. Thanks you pls like and share with yours friends
Computer is a device that accepts input, processes data, stores data, and produces output, all according to a series of stored instructions.

1. Types of Computers By Mary Delle M. Obedoza NorthPoint Institute of Technology- Binalbagan Binalbagan, Negros Occidental
2. Super computers Are the most powerful available. These computers are high capacity computers that run continuously and are being used by very big organizations mostly big corporations and government institutions. Users of super computers include NASA and US government, some big schools of companies.
3.
4. Mainframe computers Are less powerful than super computers but are capable of great processing speed, multi tasking capability and high data storage. They are used by most banks to process information of depositors and millions of daily bank transactions. Insurance companies use them for their policy holders database. These computers have specialized wiring system and usually occupies a big room with temperature control.
5.
6. Mid-range computers Are used for medium sized companies for specific purposes. They may be used for certain assembly line operations or manufacturing stages in big companies. The size of mini computers may be as a washing machine. It may be a stand alone system for specialized applications including network servers. They are also called minicomputers.
7.
8. Microcomputers or desktop Computers Are the most common and widely used computer today. There are two types of microcomputers, they are the desktop computers and the notebook computer. Desktop computers are the common computer that you see in homes, schools, and in most businesses. They are small enough to be placed on a desk or table but are too big to be carried around.
9.
10. Notebook Computer – also known as laptop computers are portable, lightweight and are easy to carry around.
11. tablet personal computer Is a fancy notebook that has a swivel design and can accept handwriting using a digital pen. Today, laptop or notebook computers have evolved so that it comes in various sizes, shape and features.
12. Handheld computer Are the smallest computers that are designed to fit into one hand or palm that is why they are also called palm-top computers. These computers may combine pen input, personal organizer tools and communication capabilities such as telephone and internet applications. Personal digital assistants or PDAs are the most common palm-top or hand held computers available today. It is so because PDAs have all the features of a cell phone, organizer and some basic computers application into one. And in some cases, it even includes camera, audio and video capabilities.
