Computers can be classified into four main categories based on their processing power and size: micro computers which use a microprocessor as the CPU, mini computers which are larger than micros but smaller than mainframes, mainframe computers which are the largest and most powerful, and super computers which are the fastest and most advanced systems currently available for processing large amounts of data and performing complex calculations.
