Types of Computers By Mrs. Gonzales

Categories of computers • These include: 1) Personal computers2) Laptops3) Minicomputers4) Mainframes 5) Supercomputers6) Tablet PC7) Electronic organizers and palmtop computers 8) Embedded computers

Personal Computers Personal computers (PCs), also sometimes called micro computer, are the most common type of computer. PCs are designed to be used by one person at a time and fit on an office desk, hence the other name, ‘desktop computers’. A PC consists of a system unit, a keyboard, a mouse and a display screen. It has all the functional elements found in any larger systems. It is designed to perform the input, control, arithmetic/logic, output and storage functions just like any other computer system would do. It can execute software program instructions to perform a very wide variety of tasks.

Laptops A laptop computer is portable version of a PC, equipped with a flat liquid crystal display (LCD) screen and weighing about 1 - 4 Kg. The two principle types of laptop computers are notebooks and sub-notebooks. Notebooks weigh 2 – 4 Kg and is roughly 35 x 25 x 4 in size. They have fairly large LCD colour screen and a fairly large keyboard, usually with a small touch-sensitive pad which serves as a mouse. They are usually just as powerful as a desktop PC but cost more than their equivalent desktop PC.

Laptops A sub-notebook computer weighs about ½ Kg and can fit in a large jacket pocket. It has a small screen, sometimes in colour, and a small keyboard without the mouse function. It can perform many of the functions of notebooks, but not to the same degree of complexity.

Minicomputers Mini systems were usually designed to handle simultaneously the processing needs of multiple users. They allowed many users to share access to central hardware through stations called terminals . Minis can support dozens of terminals. A typical terminal has a keyboard, a display screen and a wire that connects the terminal to the computer system. Minicomputers were mainly used in small manufacturing plants, research labs and businesses.

Mainframes Mainframes are very powerful computers and are therefore very expensive. Mainframes are systems that offer faster processing speeds and greater storage capacity than a typical mini. A mainframe can handle more than a thousand users at a time. They are found in large organizations such as banks, government agencies, insurance companies and corporations where they perform tasks that require a lot of computational power; typically, bulk data processing such as censuses, industry/consumer statistics and bank transaction processing. The IBM zSeries 990 Model D32 is currently one of the most powerful mainframe computers available.

Supercomputers Supercomputers such as NEC’s Earth Simulator and California Digital Corporation’s Intel Itanium2 Tiger4 were two of the largest, fastest and most powerful computers in the year 2004. They are typically used for ‘number crunching’ in scientific simulations, scientific research and developments in areas such as energy, space exploration , medicine and industry. Supercomputers are designed to process complex scientific applications. These systems are the most expensive computers in the world, often costing millions of dollars.

Tablet PC A tablet PC is a computer that looks like a notebook computer except that data can be entered through the use of a keyboard, touch screen or a digitizing tablet. Data can be entered through the digitizing tablet with the use of a special pen called a stylus.

Electronic organizers and palmtop computers These are so called because they can fit in the palm of your hand and are therefore less powerful than notebooks and sub-notebooks. They can fit into a shirt pocket and weigh perhaps 300 grams on average. They might have a very small keyboard, or a palm-sized screen (sometimes in colour) which can be written on with a special pen. Electronic organizers are mainly used to store appointments, addresses, phone numbers and ‘to do’ lists. Palmtop computers are more powerful than electronic organizers and can even run some of the same software as notebooks and sub-notebooks. Some cellular phones are now powerful enough to act as very small personal organizers.

Embedded computers An embedded computer is a special-purpose computer used inside a device and is usually dedicated to specific functions. It is housed on a single microprocessor board with the programs stored in ROM. It is connected to sensors – devices which detect changes in the environment such as light, temperature or pressure – and actuators, hardware output devices that convert electrical control signal into physical action. They are commonly used in items such as washing machines, cameras, cars, motors, sewing machines, clocks and microwaves.

Do you want to have your data in a slide show? If you have Microsoft 365, you can use PowerPoint! PowerPoint is a program that's part of the Microsoft Office suite (which you have to pay for) and is available for both Windows and Mac computers. This wikiHow teaches you how to create your own Microsoft PowerPoint presentation on a computer.

How to Make a PowerPoint Presentation

• Open the PowerPoint app, select a template and theme, then like “Create.”
• Click the text box to add your title and subtitle to create your title slide.
• Click the “Insert” tab, then “New Slide” to add another slide.
• Choose the type of slide you want to add, then add text and pictures.
• Rearrange slides by dragging them up or down in the preview box.

Things You Should Know

• Templates make it easy to create vibrant presentations no matter your skill level.
• When adding photos, you can adjust their sizes by clicking and dragging in or out from their corners.
• You can add animated transitions between slides or to individual elements like bullet points and blocks of text.

• If you don't have a Microsoft Office 365 subscription, you can use the website instead of the desktop app. Go to https://powerpoint.office.com/ to use the website version.
• You can also use the mobile app to make presentations, though it's easier to do this on a computer, which has a larger screen, a mouse, and a keyboard.

• If you don't want to use a template, just click the Blank option in the upper-left side of the page and skip to the next part.

• Skip this step if your selected template has no themes available.

• If you're creating a PowerPoint presentation for which an elaborate title slide has been requested, ignore this step.

• You can change the font and size of text used from the Home tab that's in the orange ribbon at the top of the window.

• You can also just leave this box blank if you like.

• You can also click and drag in or out one of a text box's corners to shrink or enlarge the text box.

• On a Mac, you'll click the Home tab instead. [1] X Research source

• Clicking the white slide-shaped box above this option will result in a new text slide being inserted.

• Title Slide
• Title and Content
• Section Header
• Two Content
• Content with Caption
• Picture with Caption

• Naturally, the title slide should be the first slide in your presentation, meaning that it should be the top slide in the left-hand column.

• Skip this step and the next two steps if your selected slide uses a template that doesn't have text boxes in it.

• Text boxes in PowerPoint will automatically format the bulk of your text for you (e.g., adding bullet points) based on the context of the content itself.
• You can add notes that the Presentation will not include (but you'll still be able to see them on your screen) by clicking Notes at the bottom of the slide.

• You can change the font of the selected text by clicking the current font's name and then clicking your preferred font.
• If you want to change the size of the text, click the numbered drop-down box and then click a larger or smaller number based on whether you want to enlarge or shrink the text.
• You can also change the color, bolding, italicization, underlining, and so on from here.

• Photos in particular can be enlarged or shrunk by clicking and dragging out or in one of their corners.

• Remember to keep slides uncluttered and relatively free of distractions. It's best to keep the amount of text per slide to around 33 words or less. [2] X Research source

• Slide content will animate in the order in which you assign transitions. For example, if you animate a photo on the slide and then animate the title, the photo will appear before the title.
• Make your slideshow progress automatically by setting the speed of every transition to align with your speech as well as setting each slide to Advance . [3] X Trustworthy Source Microsoft Support Technical support and product information from Microsoft. Go to source

• If you need to exit the presentation, press Esc .

• Windows - Click File , click Save , double-click This PC , select a save location, enter a name for your presentation, and click Save .
• Mac - Click File , click Save As... , enter the presentation's name in the "Save As" field, select a save location by clicking the "Where" box and clicking a folder, and click Save .

Community Q&A
