Types of Computer

1. On the basis of work. Analog computer.Digital computer C.Hybrid computer
2. On the basis of size. Mainframe computer.Mini computers.Microcomputer
3. On the basis of brand A.IBM PCB.IBM CompatibleC.Apple/Macintosh
4. On the basis of Model.XT Extended Technology.AT Advanced TechnologyC.PS/2 Personal System -2
Note:-
Analog computers It woke on the principle of continuous change in the physical values. Presley and Fcit two are Examples of analog computers. They are specially designed computers.
Digital computers It woke on the principle of two states: 0and 1. The data are represented as 0 and 1 in digital computers.
Hybrid computers It has the good quality of analog and digital. They can convert analog data into digital or vice-verse. They are specially designed computers such as flight simulator.
Mainframe computers They are large in size with parallel processing, multitasking and multiprogramming capacities.
Minicomputers They are smaller than mainframe and larger the micros.
Microcomputers They are smallest computers. They are small, robust, with latest processor, high speed and huge storage capacity. Laptop and Notebook are also microcomputers.
IBM PC They are the computers manufactured by IBM Company.
IBM Compatible computers They are developed by other companies on the same principle and technology of IBM.
Apple/Macintosh computers They are manufactured on CMOS technology.
XT computers They have become obsolete.
AT computers They are improving with new technology. Pentium processors are the latest processors used in AT machines.
PS/2 model computers They are manufactured by IBM with different architectural design which is considered much faster and virus resistance.
