A computer is a machine that manipulates data according to a list of instructions There are a lot of terms can be found over the internet related to computer. All type of computer have processor, Memory, keyboard, mouse and screen to display output. But their is a significant difference how people or organizations use computes for their usage. We can divide all type of computers to 10 categories. 1Miss. Yasmin AL bobo

Personal Computer (PC) : A personal computer (PC) is a computer whose original sales price, size, and capabilities make it useful for individuals, and intended to be operated directly by an end user, with no intervening computer operator. People generally relate this term with Microsoft’s Windows Operating system. Personal computers generally run on Windows, Mac or some version of Linux operating system.Microsoft’sWindows 2Miss.

Workstation: A computer that has a more power resources like Processing Power, Memory and additional capabilities to perform special task refers to as workstation. Workstations are often optimized for displaying and manipulating complex data such as 3D mechanical design, engineering simulation results such as for computational fluid dynamics, animation and rendering of images, and mathematical plots. 6Miss.

Wearable : Wearable computers are computers that are worn on the body. They have been applied to areas such as behavioral modeling, health monitoring systems, information technologies and media development. Government organizations, military, and health professionals have all incorporated wearable computers into their daily operations. Wearable computers are especially useful for applications that require computational support while the user’s hands, voice, eyes or attention are actively engaged with the physical environment 7Miss.
