TYPES OF PC:

 In general,  basic function of all the computers is same i.e. Computers accept data as input, perform operations on these data and generates the desired output to the user. However there are different kinds of computers available today. These computers differ due to the   differences in processing capability, storage capability, looks and sizes. Different types of computers are used for different types and complexity of problems solving. For example for simple internet access or for basic word processing , a simple generic  PC may be sufficient but for complex scientific computation such as atomic  energy plant control or weather forecasting, specialized computer is required. With the advancement of technology,  computers have  also witnessed major changes and developments and today computers are more powerful in terms of processing and storage capabilities. To know in detail about a PC hardware components, it is  imperative to have knowledge about its configuration.
