The most computer users normally know only 2 types of computer are laptop and desktop computers which are familiar for them using daily. But There are a few another computers that normal users don't know and never use them. The desktop and laptop computers are only in one main type of computer types. So in order to avoid confuse later, we will show all four main types of computer as following:
- Supercomputers are the most powerful type of computer. These machines are special high-capacity computers used by very large organizations. IBM’s Blue Gene is one of the fastest computers in the world.
- Mainframe computers occupy specially wired, air-conditioned rooms. Although not nearly as powerful as supercomputers, mainframe computers are capable of great processing speeds and data storage. For example, insurance companies use mainframes to process information about millions of policyholders.
- Minicomputers , also known as midrange computers , are refrigeratorsized machines. Medium-sized companies or departments of large companies typically use them for specific purposes. For example, production departments use minicomputers to monitor certain manufacturing process and assembly-line operation.
- Microcomputers are the least powerful, yet the most widely used and fastest-growing type of computer. There are six types of microcomputers: desktop, media center, notebook, tablet PC, netbook, and handheld computers.
