Qn1;Answer:

There are different types of computer systems nowadays for different purpose according to the
user needs. However, we can classify them into different groups based on different aspects. We
can find four different type of computers based on size. These are large computers that are most
powerful. They can complete tasks very soon and are optimized to complete given tasks quickly.

mainframe Computers. These are the largest computers and can support hundreds of users
simultaneously. These are powerful computers and optimized to run maximum number of
applications at one time.

These are medium sized computers –smaller than mainframe but much larger than personal
computers. They can be the best solution for medium scale organizations.

Micro Computers. Micro computers are the smallest when size is


concerned. 1 They range from Desktop, Laptop up to the palm top
and even smaller ones. 2 Because micro computers are developed
to support single person, they are often called personal computers
(PCs).
