15How do determine the different types of PC and its specification?

16NARRATION WITH VIDEO: Let us now talk about different types of PC that are widely used
17today.

18OVERLAY ANIMATED POWERPOINT PRESENTATION:

19What is a computer?
20A computer is an electronic device that has the capability to manipulate information or data, store,
21retrieve, and process it for more useful information. It is programmable so it can respond to specific
22instructions or commands.

23Computers of the earlier years were of the size of a large room and were required to consume huge
24amounts of electric power. However, with the advancing technology, computers have shrunk to the size
25of a small watch. Depending on the processing power and size of computers, they have been classified
26under various types. Let us look at the classification of computers.
27OVERLAY ANIMATED PICTURES OF DIFFERENT TYPES OF PC
28Different Types of Computers
29Based on the operational principle of computers, they are categorized as analog, digital and hybrid
30computers.

31I. Analog Computers: These are almost extinct today. These are different from a digital computer
32 because an analog computer can perform several mathematical operations simultaneously. It uses
33 continuous variables for mathematical operations and utilizes mechanical or electrical energy.
34II. Digital Computers: They use digital circuits and are designed to operate on two states, namely bits
35 0 and 1. They are analogous to states ON and OFF. Data on these computers is represented as a
36 series of 0s and 1s. Digital computers are suitable for complex computation and have higher
37 processing speeds. They are programmable. Digital computers are either general purpose computers
38 or special purpose ones. Special purpose computers, as their name suggests, are designed for specific
39 types of data processing while general purpose computers are meant for general use.
40III. Hybrid Computers: These computers are a combination of both digital and analog computers. In
41 this type of computers, the digital segments perform process control by conversion of analog signals
42 to digital ones.

43OVERLAY ANIMATED OF THE CLASSIFICATION OF COMPUTERS

44The following are the classification of the different types of computers based on their sizes and
45functionalities:
46
47  Mainframe Computers: Large organizations use mainframes for highly critical applications
48 such as bulk data processing and ERP. Most of the mainframe computers have the capacities to
49 host multiple operating systems and operate as several virtual machines and can substitute for
50 several small servers.
51  Minicomputers: In terms of size and processing capacity, minicomputers lie in between
52 mainframes and microcomputers. Minicomputers are also called mid-range
53 systems or workstations. The term began to be popularly used in the 1960s to refer to relatively
54 smaller third generation computers.
55  Servers: They are computers designed to provide services to client machines in a computer
56 network. They have larger storage capacities and powerful processors. Running on them are
57 programs that serve client requests and allocate resources like memory and time to client
58 machines. Usually, they are very large in size, as they have large processors and many hard
59 drives. They are designed to be fail-safe and resistant to crash.
60  Supercomputers: The highly calculation-intensive tasks can be effectively performed by means
61 of supercomputers. Quantum physics, mechanics, weather forecasting, molecular theory are best
62 studied by means of supercomputers. Their ability of parallel processing and their well-designed
63 memory hierarchy give the supercomputers, large transaction processing powers.
64  Microcomputers: A computer with a microprocessor and its central processing unit it is known
65 as a microcomputer. They do not occupy space as much as mainframes do. When supplemented
66 with a keyboard and a mouse, microcomputers can be called personal computers. A monitor, a

3 2
4
 67 keyboard and other similar input output devices, computer memory in the form of RAM and a
68 power supply unit come packaged in a microcomputer. These computers can fit on desks or tables
69 and prove to be the best choice for single-user tasks.

73 1. Desktops: A desktop is intended to be used on a single location. The spare parts of a desktop
74 computer are readily available at relatively lower costs. Power consumption is not as critical as
75 that in laptops. Desktops are widely popular for daily use in the workplace and households.
76 2. Laptops: Similar in operation to desktops, laptop computers are miniaturized and optimized for
77 mobile use. Laptops run on a single battery or an external adapter that charges the computer
78 batteries.
79 3. Netbooks: They fall in the category of laptops but are inexpensive and relatively smaller in size.
80 They had a smaller feature set and lesser capacities in comparison to regular laptops, at the time
81 they came into the market.
82 4. Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs):It is a handheld computer and popularly known as a
83 palmtop. It has a touch screen and a memory card for storage of data. PDAs can also be used as
84 portable audio players, web browsers and smart phones. Most of them can access the Internet by
85 means of Bluetooth or Wi-Fi communication.
86 5. Tablet Computers: Tablets are mobile computers that are very handy to use. They use the touch
87 screen technology. Tablets come with an onscreen keyboard or use a stylus or a digital pen.
88 Apple's iPod redefined the class of tablet computers.
89 6. Wearable Computers: A record-setting step in the evolution of computers was the creation of
90 wearable computers. These computers can be worn on the body and are often used in the study of
91 behavior modeling and human health. Military and health professionals have incorporated
92 wearable computers into their daily routine, as a part of such studies. When the users' hands and
93 sensory organs are engaged in other activities, wearable computers are of great help in tracking
94 human actions. Wearable computers do not have to be turned on and off and remain in operation
95 without user intervention.
96Differentiate the functions of the different classification of the computer based on the knowledge you
97have learned from the listening. Organize your thoughts using the table.

109These are essential information you need to know because as student you need to study computer system
110servicing in order you to equip yourself with knowledge that you may apply in the future of which this
111competency is very much important especially we are living in the more technology-based century. To
112sum up our lesson for today, let us watch this video clip.
