STATION COMPUTER
SUPERCOMPUTER

- A computer that led the


world in terms of
processing capacity,
particularly the speed of
calculation
- It was use to solve
problems involving by
major universities,
military agencies and
scientific research
laboratories
•MAINFRAME
 It’s designed to handle very
high volume input and
output (I/O) and emphasize
throughout computing.
 It is used mainly by large
organizations for critical
application, typically bulk
data processing, industry
and consumer statistic and
financial transaction
processing.
Mini computer
 It is a midsized
computer
 It is and old term for a
class of multi-user
computers, lies between
the largest multi-user
systems (mainframe
computer) and the
smallest single-user
system (microcomputer
or personal computer)
MICROCOMPUTER
 Small desktop or portable
computer, typically designed
to be used by one person at
a time, although individual
computers can be linked in a
network so that users can
share data and programmes
 Microcomputers are the
smallest of the four classes
of computer
WORKSTATION

 A type of computer used


for engineering
application, desktop
publishing, software
development and other
types of application that
require a moderate
amount of computing
power and relatively high
quality graphics
capabilities.
ACTIVITY 3: DIFFERENT TYPES
OF COMPUTER

PC

WEARABLE DESKTOP

DTC

SERVER LAPTOP

PALMTOP
PC
 The personal computer (PC) defines a
computer designed for general use by a
single person.
 PCs were first known as
microcomputers because they were a
complete computer but built on a
smaller scale than the huge systems in
use by most businesses
DESKTOP
 A PC that is set up in a permanent
location (not portable)
 Most desktops offer more power,
storage and versatility for less cost than
their portable brethren
LAPTOP

 Also called notebook


 They are portable computers that integrate all
in one
PALMTOP
 More commonly known as Personal
Digital Assistants (PDAs)
 Use flash memory instead of a hard
drive for storage
 Do not have keyboards but rely on
touchscreen technology for user input
 A slightly larger and heavier version of
the palmtop is the handheld computer
SERVER

 A computer that have been optimized to


provide services to other computers
over a network
 Servers usually have powerful
processors, large memory and hard
drives
WEARABLE
 The latest trend in computing
 Common computer applications are
integrated into watches, cell phones, visors
and even clothing
