Types of Computers

                  Computers are available in different types and sizes.

                  Desktop Computer

                  A computer that we keep on a desk or a table is called a

                  desktop computer. We can find them in offices, at homes,
                  and in many other places.                                                   Desktop Computer

                                              Laptop


                                              Laptop is a small portable computer that can be kept on our
                                              lap. It works with the help of battery that can be charged
                                              with  electricity.  The  smaller  model  of a  laptop  is called  a

                  Tablet

                  finger or a special pen to use it.

                                      Smartphone                                                              Tablet


                                      A mobile  phone  that  provides  computer  facilities  is called  a
                                      smartphone. The size of the smartphone is smaller than a tablet.

                        We can see many things around us, some of them are natural and some of them are
                       human-made.
                       Computer is a machine that can do many kinds of work.
                        Machines are human-made things that save our time and make our work easier.
                        Computers can store a lot of information and never forget it, but humans may not
                       remember many things stored in their brain.
                        Computers work very fast and can do many tasks at a time, whereas humans work
                       slowly and can do only one task at a time.
                        Computers never get tired and can work for a long time, but humans get tired and
                       need rest after working for some time.
                       Desktop, laptop, tablet and smartphone are different types of computers.
