Let's talk about the two elements that all computers have in common:
hardware and software, before we get into the different types of computers.
• Any set of instructions that tells the hardware what to do and how to
do it is referred to as software. Web browsers, gaming, and word
processors are examples of software.
A server is a computer
which provides information
to other network
computers. For instance,
you look at something
saved on a server whenever
you use the internet. Many
companies also employ

The first computer of this type was the IBM PC, which was debuted in 1981.
Other companies began producing comparable machines, dubbed IBM PC
Compatible (often shortened to PC). This is the most common type of personal
computer nowadays, and it usually comes with the Microsoft Windows
operating system.

In 1984, Apple debuted the Macintosh computer, which was the first widely
sold personal computer with a graphical user interface, or GUI (pronounced
gooey). Apple is the only firm that makes Macs and the Mac OS X operating
system is virtually always used.

After being familiarized with the different types of computers, let us now
proceed to the basic parts of a computer.
The computer casing, monitor, keyboard, mouse and power cable are the
essential components of a desktop computer. When using a computer, each
part plays a crucial role. In this lesson, you will be familiarized with the basic
parts of a computer and their functions.

What is It
Computer Case
https://whatinpc.com/knowledge-base/pc-case-sizes
The computer case is the metal and plastic box containing the major
components of the computer, including the motherboard, CPU and power
supply. An On/Off switch and one or more optical drives are commonly found
on the front of the case.
Cases for computers come in many different designs and sizes. The monitor
is commonly placed on top of a desktop casing, which is flat on the desk. A
tower case is tall and sits on the floor or next to the monitor. Internal
components are incorporated into the monitor on all-in-one computers,
removing the need for a separate case.
Monitor

LCD (liquid crystal display) or LED (light-emitting diode) displays are common
in newer monitors. Flat-panel displays are a type of display that may be made
very thin. CRT (cathode ray tube) displays are used in older monitors. CRT
monitors are significantly larger and heavier than LCD monitors, and they
take up significantly more desk space.
Keyboard

There are two basic mouse types: optical and mechanical. The optical mouse
uses an electronic eye to detect movement and is easier to clean. The
It is possible for other devices to do the same as a mouse. Many people find it
easier to use and also take less space for the desk than a traditional mouse.
Below are the most frequent mouse options.

Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) devices keep computer systems and IT
equipment safe and operable during power surges and breakdowns. When the
flow of electricity dips to an insufficient voltage or ceases, an Uninterruptible
Power Supply (UPS) provides battery backup power.
