This document summarizes different types of computers:
- Analog computers measure continuous physical quantities as input and provide continuous outputs, while digital computers use discrete numbers as input and output.
- Types of digital computers include microcomputers, mini computers, mainframe computers, supercomputers, desktops, workstations, notebooks, tablet PCs, handheld computers, and smartphones.
- Microcomputers are the smallest and include personal computers and multi-user systems. Mini computers are more powerful and useful than microcomputers for departmental systems and networks. Mainframe computers offer faster processing and greater storage and are used as host computers and database servers. Supercomputers are the fastest and most expensive, used for scientific applications like weather forecast

3. Analog computer
Analog computer measures and answer the
questions by the method of HOW
MUCH. The input data is not a number
infect a physical quantity like tem,
pressure, speed, velocity.
Signals are continuous of (0 to 10 V)
Accuracy 1% Approximately
High speed
Output is continuous
Time is wasted in transmission time
5. Digital Computers
Digital computer counts and answer the questions
by the method of HOW Many. The input data is
represented by a number. These are used for
the logical and arithmetic operations.
Signals are two level of (0 V or 5 V)
Accuracy unlimited
low speed sequential as well as parallel
processing
Output is continuous but obtain when
computation is completed.
6. Micro Computer
Micro computer are the smallest computer
system. There size range from calculator
to desktop size. Its CPU is
microprocessor. It also known as Grand
child Computer.
Application : - personal computer, Multi
user system, offices.
7. Mini Computer
These are also small general purpose
system. They are generally more powerful
and most useful as compared to micro
computer. Mini computer are also known
as mid range computer or Child computer.
Application :- Departmental systems,
Network Servers, work group system.
9. Main Frame Computer
Mainframe computers are those computers
that offer faster processing and grater
storage area. The word main frame
comes from the metal frames. It is also
known as Father computer.
Application Host computer, Central data
base server.
10. Super Computer
Super computer are those computer which are
designed for scientific job like whether
forecasting and artificial intelligence etc. They
are fastest and expensive. A super computer
contains a number of CPU which operate in
parallel to make it faster. It also known as grand
father computer.
Application whether forecasting, weapons
research and development.
