COMPUTER SYSTEM (ICCS)
(TYPES OF COMPUTER AND OPERATING
SYSTEMS)
 What I Need to Know

This module was designed and written with you in mind. It is here to
help you master the Types of Computer and Computer Operating Systems.
The scope of this module permits it to be used in many different learning
situations. The language used recognizes the diverse vocabulary level of
students. The lessons are arranged to follow the standard sequence of the
course. But the order in which you read them can be changed to correspond

 Lesson
TYPES OF COMPUTER AND
1 OPERATING SYSTEMS

We have four different computer types classified according to their

performance, power, and size. A computer is an electronic device that accepts data,
processes it, stores, and then produces an output .

There are different computer types available depending on the number of

users they can support at any one time, their size, and power.

What’s In

Computer an electronic device for storing and processing data, typically in

binary form, according to instructions given to it in a variable program. In this lesson
you will learn the different types of Computer.

What’s New

Can you identify this picture?

 What is It

Desktop computer

A computer designed to fit comfortably on top of a desk, typically with

the monitor sitting on top of the computer. Desktop model computers are broad and
low, whereas tower model computers are narrow and tall. Because of their shape,
desktop model computers are generally limited to three internal mass
storage devices. Desktop models designed to be very small are sometimes referred to
as slimline models.

Laptop
A small, portable computer -- small enough that it can sit on your lap.
Nowadays, a computer laptop is more frequently called a notebook computer, though
technically laptops are somewhat larger in size than notebooks in both thickness
and weight.

Tablet
A tablet is a type of notebook computer that has an LCD screen on which the
user can write using finger and swipe actions or by using a special-purpose pen,
or stylus. All user input is directly via the LCD screen and not a keyboard or mouse.
On a tablet computer, handwriting is digitized and can be converted to standard text

4
through handwriting recognition, or it can remain as handwritten text. The stylus
also can be used to type on a pen-based key layout where the lettered keys are
arranged differently than a QWERTY keyboard. Tablet PCs can be equipped with
a keyboard and/or a mouse for input.

The tablet PC relies on digital ink technology, where a digitizer is laid under
or over an LCD screen to create an electromagnetic field that can capture the
movement of the special-purpose pen and record the movement on the LCD screen.
The effect is like writing on paper with liquid ink.

Smartphone

Smartphones are a handheld device that integrates mobile phone capabilities

with the more common features of a handheld computer or PDA. Smartphones allow
users to store information, e-mail, install programs, along with using a mobile phone
in one device.

For example, a Smartphone could be a mobile phone with some PDA functions
integrated into the device, or vice versa.

COMPUTER OPERATING SYSTEMS

An operating system (OS), in its most general sense, is software that allows a user
to run other applications on a computing device.

The operating system manages a computer's software hardware resources,

including:

• Input devices such as a keyboard and mouse.

• Output devices such as display monitors, printers and scanners.
• Network devices such as modems, routers and network connections.
• Storage devices such as internal and external drives.

5
 The OS also provides services to facilitate the efficient execution and management
of, and memory allocations for, any additional installed software application
programs.

If several programs are running at the same time (such as an Internet browser,
firewall, and antivirus), the OS will allocate the computer’s resources (memory, CPU,
and storage) to make sure that each one of them receives what is needed to function.

Classification of Operating systems

Multi-user: Allows two or more users to run programs at the same time. Some
operating systems permit hundreds or even thousands of concurrent users.

Multiprocessing : Supports running a program on more than one CPU.

Multitasking : Allows more than one program to run concurrently.

Multithreading : Allows different parts of a single program to run concurrently.

Real time: Responds to input instantly. General-purpose operating systems, such

as DOS and UNIX, are not real-time.

Most Popular Desktop Operating Systems

The three most popular types of operating systems for personal and business
computing include Linux, Windows and Mac.

Windows
Microsoft Windows is a family of operating systems for personal and business
computers. Windows dominates the personal computer world, offering a graphical
user interface (GUI), virtual memory management, multitasking, and support for
many peripheral devices.

Mac

Mac OS is the official name of the Apple Macintosh operating system. Mac OS
features a graphical user interface (GUI) that utilizes windows, icons, and all
applications that run on a Macintosh computer have a similar user interface.

6
Linux
Linux is a freely distributed open source operating system that runs on a
number of hardware platforms. The Linux kernel was developed mainly by Linus
Torvalds and it is based on Unix.

According to Netmarketshare.com, the most used desktop operating system

and versions used on PCs (Desktops and laptops) from January to November, 2019
are:
Windows 87.40%
Mac OS 10.06%
Linux 1.95%
Chrome OS 0.39%
Unknown 0.20%
BSD 0.01%

Mobile Operating Systems

In the same way that a desktop OS controls your desktop or laptop computer,
a mobile operating system is the software platform on top of which other programs
can run on mobile devices, however, these systems are designed specifically to run
on mobile devices such as mobile phones, smartphones, PDAs, tablet computers and
other handhelds.
Popular mobile operating systems include iPhone OS / iOS and Android OS.

The mobile OS is responsible for determining the functions and features available on
your device, such as thumb wheel, keyboards, WAP, synchronization with
applications, email, text messaging and more. The mobile OS will also determine
which third-party applications (mobile apps) can be used on your device.
