Most people love to boast about their knowledge of computers and high-tech devices, while morons like ourselves listen open-mouthed in awe while they sprout technical jargon and talk in a language we have never heard of. But ask them a simple question, and they would look at you as if you were an ant not worth their attention, making you want to disappear to wherever you came from.
Believe me, this is no exaggeration because it’s not everyone who is a technical wizard or knows everything about computers or even the different types of computers available in the market today. So before we make fools of ourselves, let’s find out a little bit about these fascinating gadgets and their various cousins.
Not Everyone’s a Computer Genius — And That’s Okay
A desktop Computer, I think most of us can safely say, is something we have all heard about and seen too. Well, some think of them as old-fashioned monstrosities that should be thrown in the garbage dump. But for me, they are the best there is, not only because they have a large amount of disk space, load easily and quickly, have slick graphic engines, and user-friendly accessories such as a keyboard and mouse, but also have a wide screen to make working with large documents and spreadsheets pretty easy.
Laptops: Portable, Practical — But Not Perfect
A Laptop Computer, as the name suggests, is just that, provided your lap does not get too heated up while you’re working on it with the device placed on your lap. College kids and young executives used to love carrying them around, although they have now turned to the Tablet PC, but that’s entirely a different story. A Laptop Computer is also far more expensive but is not as effective as a desktop because it has limited space, unless you upgrade it to suit your needs. Its biggest attraction is its portability, a built-in monitor and keyboard with the keys all mashed together. A Notebook Computer is not much different from a laptop, apart from being ultra small and almost the size of a real notebook, and provides the attachment of a CD-ROM via cable since it has no built-in unit.
Tablet PCs: Writing on Screens and Future Trends
The love affair with the laptop is now in vane with many turning their interests to the Tablet PC, which is the latest craze among computer users. One unique difference is that you can write on its screen by using a special stylus pen, which, when saved, turns into computer text automatically. A Tablet PC does not have a keyboard or mouse and is therefore not suitable for heavy work such as documentation and designing. A Sercomputereron the other hand, is one that provides certain facilities to clients and can have software and hardware capabilities that can be shared on a network. A Server computer usually has a very good processor and can deliver high-powered performance.
A Workstation Computer is a desktop PC with advanced features and applications for the creation of 2D & 3D graphics, etc. It is designed to handle higher workloads, and the primary difference between a desktop and a Workstation computer is that the latter has more power and can be used for special applications. As you can see, there are various types of computers and many more to come, I guess; soit’ss time we geared ourselves to live in a computer world if we know what’s good for us.
