                           TYPES OF COMPUTERS

                 There are many types of computers and they come in various sizes. Let us

                 learn about them.


                 DESKTOP COMPUTER

                 A desktop computer is a computer that is kept on a

                 desk. They are commonly used at homes, schools
                 and offices. They cannot be moved from one place

                 to another because of their size and weight.

                 A laptop is a small computer that can fit in our laps. A laptop is lighter than

                 a desktop computer and can be carried easily from one place to another. It
                 runs on a battery. We charge the battery of a laptop just like we do that of a

                 mobile phone.

                     FACT        case.
