TYPES OF COMPUTERS
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.

A Desktop computer is 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.

A Laptop is 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.

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 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.

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. 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,
